London 28 July 2014
The Federal Aviation Administration is virtually at war with U.S. businesses trying to use small UAVs — unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones. The drone industry is frustrated, he said, "because theyre ready to go. Theyre telling the FAA, ‘Look, the United States is behind everyone else. Weve got the technology and were going to use it, and the FAA is saying, ‘Youve got to slow down. Were not prepared to issue the regulations.*"
Hear straight from the authorities about the current regulatory status regarding UAVs and where the industry is heading at the 14th annual Unmanned Aerial Systems conference.
