In this video, Matt Rybar, VP of Remote Operations at Unmanned Vehicle Technologies (UVT), shares his insights on the evolving landscape of Federal Aviation Administration drone regulations and the potential for deploying turnkey drone solutions like the DJI Dock 2 at scale. “There's a lot of great waivers out there that really do move this needle forward. But at the end of the day, the FAA regulatory side is 100% the biggest hurdle to still overcome. The next six months are going to continue to evolve and change. The next two years on the FAA side they made a commitment to rolling out the next generation of regulation. So overall, I think today we were able to see a real glimpse of a turnkey product from data collection to data processing, it's just how do you deploy that at scale. That’s going to come as the regulatory scene continues to change and adjust while you’re headed down that path of crawl, walk, run approach.” — Matt Rybar, VP, Remote Operations, Unmanned Vehicle Technologies (UVT) As the regulatory environment evolves, we look forward to seeing how these advancements will enable us to scale operations and continue delivering cutting-edge drone services and data collection in the construction industry. #FAA #DroneTechnology #Construction #Innovation #DataCollection #DigitalTransformation #HeliosVisions #Technology #Drones #Dronesforgood #Contech #Proptec #BIM

Come to the #UAVNZSymposium to hear our Managing Director Andrew Shelley's perspectives on managing risk in the commercial UAV industry.

Collecting #geodata, monitoring construction progress, inspecting infrastructure: The use of #drones is an important topic at the booths and aisles of the INTERGEO Expo and Conference in Stuttgart, Germany. However, while some companies have already been able to establish workflows and gain experience, others are still at the beginning and many questions are still waiting to be answered. Accordingly, there was great interest in the discussion rounds organized by UAV DACH on the #Unmanned Systems Stage.   In particular, the panel on the legal basis in accordance with Sections 21h and 21k of the Air Traffic Regulations - keywords: geographical areas and ‘’authority privilege‘’ - was characterized by strong participation from the audience. The numerous questions and opinions expressed by the audience made it clear that both #UAS operators and their potential customers would like to see simplifications for the drone economy and, last but not least, greater harmonization in the implementation and interpretation of European regulations by the EU member states.   Simplification and support for the industry was also the subject of a debate on the authorization procedures for UAS operations in the special category. For many companies, this represents a structural and economic challenge for various reasons. And quite a few are looking forward with some uncertainty to possible upcoming changes in the application process due to the upcoming implementation of the individual risk assessment in accordance with #SORA 2.5. It became clear that standardized procedures and processes could provide simplification here but would not solve all problems.   In addition to questions of regulatory principles and the leanest possible bureaucratic processes, the Unmanned Systems Stage also focused on very practical issues of commercially sustainable UAS operation. The various presentations provided valuable insights into the very practical challenges that manufacturers, users and service providers are currently facing and which solutions could be pursued.   The lecture and discussion program moderated by board members Michael Wieland and Jan Schönberg at the world's largest trade fair for #geodesy, #geoinformation and land management was a good example of how UAV DACH contributes to promoting UAS operations in Europe and institutionalizing contact between the drone economy and potential user industries through information and networking.

On May 2nd at 10am I get to answer and common question. What’s it like to be a drone pilot? Register below to hear about being a drone pilot.

𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒-𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟐. 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are aircraft operated without a human pilot onboard, forming a crucial component of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) alongside ground-based controllers and communication systems. Initially utilized for missions deemed too hazardous, mundane, or inaccessible for humans, UAVs have evolved beyond military applications to serve diverse sectors including aerial photography, product delivery, agriculture, law enforcement, surveillance, infrastructure inspection, scientific research, smuggling, and even drone racing. The drone industry encompasses various market segments such as cargo transportation (fixed wing, spiral wing) and agriculture (fixed wing, spiral wing), with both developed and developing markets witnessing significant technological advancements, patent developments, and emerging applications. The market outlook for drones is segmented by size and application, with forecasts extending from 2024 to 2032, offering insights into consumption value and volume trends.

Innovative #UAS technology can not only be the foundation of sustainably successful business models. Commercially operated #drones are also increasingly being used for the benefit of the general public - as they were recently during the forest fires in the German Harz Mountains.   Controlled from the control center of Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH in Berlin, Ceptor multicopters from UAV DACH member Globe UAV GmbH were used to inspect the forest areas around the Brocken, the highest massif in the Harz Mountains, almost 270 kilometers southwest of the German capital. Special sensors from Dryad Networks GmbH had previously been placed in the affected areas. Due to their sensitivity to hydrogen, carbon monoxide and other gases, these sensors can detect fires at an early stage. In close coordination between the emergency services at the situation center in Wernigerode-Schierke and the UAS operator in Berlin, the exact areas of an approximately 10,000 square meter area to be flown over were defined. In this way, sources of fire and pockets of embers could be efficiently detected and their exact positions transmitted to the emergency services on the ground. The technology used for drone control and image transmission was developed entirely by Globe UAV. Around 130 kilometers to the east, near Oranienbaum in Saxony-Anhalt, a Vector drone from UAV DACH member Quantum Systems - equipped with a MACS camera (Modular Aerial Camera Systems) developed at the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Optical Sensor Systems - was used at around the same time to fly over an area also affected by forest fires in order to detect any remaining pockets of embers. Examples such as these show that the innovation potential of unmanned aviation is not only economically sustainable, but also beneficial to all. The Unmanned Aviation Association is therefore committed to contributing to the growth of European unmanned aviation by creating an enabling environment.
