I do this for a living and have been involved with unmanned systems for over 10 years.

This website is owned and managed by a friend of mine: sUAS News | Small Unmanned Aircraft System industry news for professionals Lots of good information there.

I could go on and on about the FAA, but that would be counter productive. Suffice to say that in the 10 plus years I have been working with them to craft reasonable flight rules and regulations for commercial UAS operators below 400ft the FAA has made zero, as in nada, progress.

I have spent tortuous days and weeks with them using their risk management processes and it all comes down to bureaucratic fear and bumbling, an inability to simply take what has been done in the military and by civilian operators and start the process of defining rules and regulation for flight in the national airpace, sense and avoid and file and fly.

The commercial opportunities are limitless.

Here is a teaser video we are putting together for the company I am partnered with:
