It sounds like a good idea - develop an online system of publically reporting and disseminating problems or incidents stemming from the use of unmanned aircraft in the public airspace.
In practice you'd have to wonder if such a system would get used much because it seems like the system has just a few caveats.
Specifically the Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice is looking for proposals to develop, host, and maintain a web-based, online flight data and incident reporting system to, subject to law enforcement and national security concerns and limitations:
1. Collect fight-operations data from law enforcement and other public safety agencies from their use of sUAS (or small Unmanned Aircraft Systems defined as UAS weighing less than 55 lbs).
2. Make that information publically available for analysis by entities interested in the use of sUAS in the national air space.
3. In making this data readily accessible to the public, NIJ seeks to make possible further research and study of law enforcement and public safety sUAS flight operations, and through such research to improve the safety and increase the operational efficiency of law enforcement sUAS operations.
The NIJ says its ultimate goal for this solicitation - which could be worth $250,000 if a contract is awarded -- is to foster the safe, effective, and lawful use of sUAS by law enforcement agencies.
