<jats:p> The objective of the work is to develop recommendations to support the development of information content requirements for integrating unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System (NAS). The focus of the work relates to handover of control where positive control of the aircraft is transferred from one crew to another. We reviewed the human factors literature and handover corollaries that exist in the current NAS. We developed a structured approach to identifying information requirements that included consideration of technological context, and then addressed task analysis, human-automation function allocation, and information availability. UAS pilot subject matter expert feedback was leveraged throughout the process. We provide recommendations for the technological and automation capabilities required for safe handover of control in the NAS, and associated information requirements. We discuss how our method provides a structured basis for making design decisions for complex, safety-critical systems. </jats:p>
