The clock is ticking because the NDAA, now incorporating HR 2864, is ready for a vote as we speak. The precise wording and full scope of the modifications stay unknown, however this presents a crucial second for these searching for to know upcoming drone coverage panorama.
I see a terrific Renaissance within the small drone constructing firm group, their market is getting a lot bigger for NDAA compliant machines.
I used to be chatting with Mark Townsend of Louisiana Helicam and final evening and he agreed
“I’d wish to see extra mother/pop/boutique drone outlets. Akin to a customized luthier/guitar store. Not every part must be rigged for the lots”.
Sadly the storm has already damaged that may wash away these new corporations.
The AUVSI Inexperienced UAS scheme with its excessive compliance testing charges will make it inconceivable for mother and pop to begin up. However that’s provided that the trade accepts it.
AUVSI often is the commerce group that killed its ex board member within the USA (DJI) and kicked American drone innovation additional down the highway.
All hail greed.
