Register Your UAS

UAS Tail Number

All Georgia Southern owned Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) must register for FAA tail numbers through the Research Integrity Office.  The process takes about 20 minutes.  The registration number must remain affixed to your UAS.  The registration tail number is good for 2 years.  (All GS owned drones require registration regardless of weight or purpose of flight.)
