This approval is crucial for the advancement of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations, allowing the drone to broadcast identification and location information essential for airspace safety.

Avy has become the first company in The Netherlands to be granted a Light UAS Certificate (LUC) for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights, signifying compliance with stringent European Union aviation safety standards.

The trials, conducted in New Zealand, showcased the feasibility of safe, uncrewed flight operations in shared airspace, a crucial step towards the realization of commercial autonomous flight.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted Percepto a nationwide waiver, allowing the remote operation of a fleet of up to 30 Percepto drones by a single operator.

The deal marks a vote of confidence for Ondas, which has been pushing the envelope in the private industrial wireless networks, alongside automated data solutions.

In collaboration with OVRL, an Australian commercial drone operator and training entity, the use of ParaZero's sophisticated parachute safety technology has achieved this authorization.

The label allows users of the drones to conduct Beyond Visual Line of Sight operations in sparsely populated European areas from January 1, 2024.

This capability enables the drone to identify and circumvent low-altitude obstacles often overlooked by many satellite maps.

With more than 50 million autonomous miles flown and over 750,000 deliveries completed without major safety incidents, Zipline’s safety mechanisms have been validated internationally.

This collaboration seeks to explore the potential applications of tilt-wing aircraft, notably in tasks such as deploying small Synthetic Aperture Radar devices while airborne.

This significant approval permits IN-FLIGHT Data to conduct drone operations as high as 2,500 feet, in both Class F and Class G airspace, irrespective of the time of day.

The newly granted waiver allows them to undertake diverse BVLOS operations, encompassing aerial tasks, photography, and the inspection of powerlines and pipelines.

These tests, carried out in collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), are geared towards shaping the future standards for safe beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) drone operations.

The funds are earmarked to bolster its BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) drone network, which covers essential infrastructure across the nation.

The collaboration will bring together Skyfire's expertise in providing aerial data solutions to public safety customers and Ondas' advanced autonomous drone technology.

The partnership entails a Space Act Agreement, under which NASA will collaborate with uAvionix for research and development in commercial UAS C2 systems

The Aera's ability to execute precision landing on the Docking Station, along with real-time monitoring and communication through the Control Tower, have led to the elimination of the need for on-site operators.
