The bill will be exempt from the current security regulations, so that the major groups will be able to continue the UAV application test.The state government, community and choose to participate in the UAV project family will design their own UAV experimental project. The bill is expected to allow at least five UAV applications to be tested, but does not limit the number of participating groups.
The NASA will review each project, and if necessary, the Airways Authority will abandon the current regulations governing the application of UAVs, such as prohibiting flying at the head of the person, prohibiting night flight and prohibiting flying out of the UAV maneuver Line of sight, etc. Unmanned aerial vehicle application testing will include the delivery of parcels, the reliability and security of data connections between pilots and unmanned aerial vehicles, the technology that prevents unmanned aerial vehicles from colliding with each other, Reverse flight and so on.
UAV manufacturers and commercial companies have been demanding a more liberal management environment for UAV applications, and in June this year, Prime Minister Trump and industry leaders discussed the issue at a White House meeting. In the past two years Time, the Air Authority has registered more than 1 million unmanned aerial vehicles, most of which are amateurs, and now the number of registered UAVs in the United States has exceeded the number of registered aircraft.
US security management of unmanned aerial vehicles limits the use of UAVs, and US technology companies attempting to test and promote commercial unmanned aerial vehicles are usually doing these projects overseas. For example, Google has tested its own unattended in Australia Machine project, Amazon in the UK test UAV delivery business.
Michael Kratsios of the White House Science and Technology Policy Office said in a conference call: 'In order for the United States to maintain leadership in this emerging industry, our country needs a system that encourages UAV technology while ensuring flight safety "These test items will collect data on UAV operations to help the government build a separate air traffic management system for low-profile airborne UAVs, which are expected to be ready within one year, and The test time for this project will last for three years.
Not long ago, the city of Newcastle, New York, a civil unmanned aerial vehicle and military helicopter collision accident, Quebec City, Canada has also been confirmed that UAV and commercial aircraft occurred in the collision, the occurrence of these people more and more people concerned about UAV Flight safety issues. This test project will not ignore the local government's proposed unmanned aerial vehicle security, privacy and nuisance risk of complaints.Lihang Administration claimed that he is the only authority to manage national airspace, but some groups have more than their own Of the jurisdiction.
Doug Johnson, vice president of the American Consumer Technology Association, said: 'The US government must be aware that this test project can not be implemented and managed alone, and must cooperate with the local government. This project formed this public-private partnership for the realization of no The economic benefits of the man-machine are crucial. 'The members of the American Consumer Technology Association have UAV makers, which estimate that there will be 3.4 million UAVs sold this year, up from last year's sales 40% of these unmanned aerial vehicles sold to the country to bring about $ 1.1 billion in taxes.
