Shooting Down a Drone: Legal Implications and Consequences In today’s world, drones are changing industries like farming and disaster response. However, as more drones take to the skies, the legal rules around them become more complex. Drone operators face tough legal questions, especially about protecting their investments and rights. This article explores the complicated laws about using drones in the United States. It highlights the importance of understanding and following the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules. We will also discuss the serious legal problems that can happen if someone shoots down a drone. https://lnkd.in/gtZBDZvD #drones #dronepilot #droneservice #dronephotographer #Oregon #DJI #FAA

Organisations are equipping their team with drones for good reasons: -Drones are useful in high-risk scenarios, from finding people more quickly to rapid damage assessments. -Make better use of your time, a drone can cover kilometres in minutes, as opposed to traditional ground-based data collection methods. -They are cost efficient. Depending on the job, drones could save a lot of money instead of hiring a helicopter. Hot tip: You may see the term ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle’ when referring to drones or Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles. The term ‘uncrewed’ is starting to be used across the industry as a more inclusive term, therefore Winyama opts for this terminology. Don’t want to wait until our next National IMW for drone training. Great news, applications for IMW On Demand Term 4 open on Nov 13th!

Interesting move from the UK Government; Additive Manufacturing will surely play a key part for whoever wins this award. Stratasys is here to help with our extensive knowledge of designing and building UAVs. Indeed the requirement that the drones must be “produced and dispatched for testing within 4 weeks of contract award...” almost certainly means that AM is essential. If anyone, then Matthew Jones will know how to do that - what do you say Matt? #additivemanufacturing #defence https://lnkd.in/eTTZtie8

tools for your drones

🚁 Breaking Into the Drone Industry: Where to Start 🚁 The drone industry is booming, and now is the perfect time to get involved! But where should you start if you're new to the field? Here are a few key steps to help you launch your drone career: 1️⃣ Get Certified For many commercial drone operations, certification is required. In the U.S., the FAA’s Part 107 certification is essential. Other countries have their own regulations, so make sure you're compliant wherever you plan to fly. Our online course recommendation is Altitude University. 2️⃣ Find Your Niche Drones are used in many industries, from real estate to agriculture, construction, and filmmaking. Explore different areas and find out what excites you the most. Specializing can help you stand out! 3️⃣ Invest in Quality Gear You don’t need the most expensive drone to start, but having reliable equipment will improve the quality of your work. Do your research and find the right drone for your needs, whether it's photography, mapping, or inspections. 4️⃣ Learn the Technology Beyond flying, understanding drone software is critical. Tools like DroneDeploy and Pix4D can enhance your skills and help you deliver better results. Becoming proficient in drone mapping, data analysis, or video editing will give you a competitive edge. 5️⃣ Network & Build Relationships Connect with other professionals in the drone industry—online and offline. Joining drone communities, attending industry events, and reaching out to potential clients or collaborators can open doors and create opportunities. 🎯 Pro Tip: Patience and persistence are key. The drone industry is growing, but competition is increasing too. Stick with it, build your skills, and the opportunities will come! Need help getting started?

thanks Philip Hicks - to add some observations and projects that for us on the advent of FPV and handheld drones is reshaping modern warfare, challenging traditional military doctrines with their low-cost, high-efficiency surveillance and combat capabilities. These drones offer unparalleled situational awareness, agility, and the ability to conduct operations in previously inaccessible areas, making them invaluable in today’s real-world combat scenarios. Their ease of use and cost-effectiveness democratize advanced military capabilities, blurring the lines between state and non-state actors. This technological shift demands a reevaluation of military strategies and training programs. thus, the key question facing military and intelligence hierarchies today is not just about integrating these technologies in terms of hardware and software but also about whether their personnel are adequately trained to leverage these tools effectively. As FPV and handheld drones become integral to warfare, the readiness of our forces to adapt to these changes in both strategic thinking and operational tactics becomes paramount. Are we (as countries and Allies) prepared for this new era of warfare? Want to know more?

Drone Ban Update, Skydio Buys GoPro Patents, DJI Enterprise Leak by Haye Kesteloo Welcome to Weekly UAS News Update! We have three stories for you this week: a Chinese drone ban update, Skydio buys a whole bunch of GoPro patents, and lastly, a DJI Enterprise prototype that leaked after a crash. Let’s get to it! Chinese Drone Ban Updates The election day is over, and most races have been called. We’re now entering a “lame duck” legislative session where Congress is expected to work on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Currently, the Senate bill does not include the Countering CCP Drones Act language, while the House of Representatives version does. While it’s […] #China #Countering CCP Drones Act #DJI #DJI Enterprise #DJI Rumors #Drones #Skydio

Unmanned ground vehicle concept Drones cannot carry heavy loads. On the other hand, a drone-sized land vehicle cannot fit large wheels, so its off-road capabilities remain modest. The problem can be solved with the help of a spring roller. Unlike a normal track, a spring track tends to form a circle. When the spring is stretched around the two wheels, it forms an oval. The UGV tends to settle at the lowest point, i.e. the frame tends to be horizontal. When driving off-road, the frame sways somewhat, for which the UGV is controlled with a motor-stabilized camera. In this way, a payload that is heavier than the drone's transport capacity can be delivered even on terrain in addition to roads. #unmanned #ground #vehicle #concept #UGV
