ADI Submits Comment Letter on Remote ID NPRM

3/3/2020

 
Picture
On Mar. 2, the Alliance for Drone Innovation (ADI) submitted a comment letter to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Remote Identification (Remote ID) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). ADI Executive Director Jenny Rosenberg noted that while ADI recognizes the need for this critically important rule, the NPRM, as written, is the wrong approach for the drone community. ​"ADI strongly supports the FAA’s efforts to formulate a Remote ID standard, as this crucial regulation will be the key to ensuring the safety and soundness of the NAS, while also allowing drone technology to flourish," wrote Rosenberg. "ADI respectfully suggests the FAA consider our recommendations for the areas where we have requested different solutions than the NPRM offers."

Don’t Ground Drones Before the Industry Takes Off

10/24/2019

In an op-ed for Morning Consult, former Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ) emphasizes that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must retain autonomy over UAS integration into the National Airspace System. "Many public policy initiatives are best left to the states to decide — regulating the national air space is not one. The FAA and its federal partners are best suited to continue to oversee the safe integration of drones at any and all altitudes. The air space — like rivers — traverses across localities without being confined to boundaries. Varying standards for UAS operation from state to state or county to county or, conceivably, town to town would stunt most commercial or recreational uses this technology has to offer."

City Must Bring On The Drones: New York Should Invite Responsible Use of Flying Devices

10/21/2019

 
Picture
In an op-ed for The New York Daily News, New York City Councilman Justin Brannan discusses the need for the New York city government to modernize its statutes to allow for drones to be utilized for key public safety and commercial purposes. "​Plenty of people still have questions about drones, just like they do about any new technology. That’s reasonable, and there are good answers for them. This city can welcome drones and all the great things they can do while protecting everybody on the ground. When businesses, schools, nonprofits and city agencies can make use of increasingly versatile flying devices, it will show that New York is a city that embraces the future — and the jobs and benefits that come with it. As they say, the sky’s the limit."

​Fedscoop reports that the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Unit is working with Zipline to prototype UAS for battlefield emergency supply delivery. "DOD spokeswoman Elissa Smith told FedScoop the Pentagon is 'collaborating to experiment with drone systems in an effort to answer questions about how drone deliveries could improve medical care during conflicts, disasters, and humanitarian crises.' Zipline’s work with DOD also is to develop 'exercises' to deliver supplies within the 'golden hour,' or the time where care has a significantly higher chance of preventing death, Eric Gardiner, who works in global business development at Zipline, said during a panel on drone innovation at the U.S. Capitol in July."
