The newly proposed rules, subject to revision following public comment, would enable greater operational flexibility for operators as well as drone and UAS manufacturers with the goal of safely normalizing BVLOS drone operations. This would include detailed requirements for operations, aircraft manufacturing, keeping drones safely separated from other aircraft, operational authorizations and responsibility, security, information reporting and record keeping. The Company believes that these new rules will enable rapid growth in the drone services sector and support its efforts to create a wide array of new AI-powered drone services ranging from providing enhanced public safety at large outdoor events to supporting wildlife conservation and environmental protection efforts.
