In an article for Axios, Executive Director Jenny Rosenberg explains that the U.S. national airspace system (NAS) is different compared to other countries, and presents challenges when it comes to integrating certain aspects of drone technology in the NAS. "This summer, Zipline will bring its fleet of delivery drones to North Carolina, where they will be used to deliver medical supplies to rural hospitals as part of the FAA's UAS Integration Pilot Program. Yes, but: The U.S. national airspace system is more complicated than Rwanda's, says Jenny Rosenberg, executive director of the Alliance for Drone Innovation...The U.S. has tens of thousands of commercial flights a day, plus military and general aviation flights. There's also a multitude of restricted zones, not to mention security and privacy concerns. The bottom line: The FAA's challenge is to balance the risks and opportunities created by all those drones without stifling innovation."
