These law and policy changes include measures to (1) permit the operation of small UAVs beyond visual line-of-sight; (2) support the development of infrastructure to safely manage the widespread use of low-altitude airspace; (3) enable broader UAS access to commercial mobile services and unlicensed spectrum vital to the safe and widespread integration of UAS; (4) embrace the carriage and delivery potential of UAV technology in a wide array of capacities, ranging from humanitarian aid to commercial operations. Executive Director is an employee of a vendor utilized by Small UAV. His compensation at such vendor is not directly tied to his responsibilities for the organization. |
