This paper explores networking issues that arise as a result of the operational requirements of future applications of small
unmanned aircraft systems. Small unmanned aircraft systems have the potential to create new applications and markets in civil
domains, enable many disruptive technologies, and put considerable stress on air traffic control systems. The operational
requirements lead to networking requirements that are mapped to three different conceptual axes that include network connectivity,
data delivery, and service discovery. The location of small UAS networking requirements and limitations along these axes has
implications on the networking architectures that should be deployed. The delay-tolerant mobile ad-hoc network architecture
offers the best option in terms of flexibility, reliability, robustness, and performance compared to other possibilities.
This network architecture also provides the opportunity to exploit controlled mobility to improve performance when the network
becomes stressed or fractured.
