Drone as First Responders (DFR) should be operated by a software platform for drone automation, orchestration and remote operation, and should be hardware-agnostic, i.e., VOTIX. VOTIX enhances the DRF program by addressing all the points in this article and brings the huge advantage of being hardware independent, both for the drone and for the drone-in-a-box solution (docking station). Using VOTIX, a hardware-agnostic software platform, for DFR has several benefits, including: Flexibility, Scalability, Ease of Use, Integration and Standardization.

Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations in the United States remain an exception to the general rule that requires the remote pilot in charge (RPIC) to maintain visual line of sight (VLOS) of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUA or UAS). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) permits waivers, or approvals, of UAS BVLOS operations and it has granted approximately 90 of them in 2022.

And while the FAA’s Part 107 Waivers Issued page provides copies of these waivers, the applications filed with them, which “shall be attached to and become a part thereof”, still remain publicly unavailable. So, what’s the secret sauce to getting a BVLOS waiver?

In aviation, documentation remains a critical component in upholding standards and reinforcing required levels of operational safety. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires crewed aviators to maintain pilot logbooks. These documents attest to a pilot’s qualifications and experience. They must include annotations relating to the training and aeronautical experience used to meet certificate, rating, or flight review requirements and the recent aeronautical flight experience required to comply with Part 61. These documents should also represent what a pilot has accomplished after each flight.

For drone pilots, although Part 107 does not explicitly require similar documentation, it does so indirectly. Given the above-mentioned context, what is the best way to manage all this required documentation? While paper logs can help, a digital support is commonly required, and log management software is the ideal solution.

Not a long time ago, watching a live drone footage was pretty much impossible, unless the viewer was standing beside the pilot and got a chance to glance at the screen. Now, drone live streaming is a growing demand across a number of industries, from entertainment to law enforcement.

With VOTIX being the best software available, we’re going to help you recognize what makes a good and reliable drone live stream.

The commercial drone industry still refers to beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations as the “holy grail.” Recent activities, however, may indicate that drinking from the BVLOS cup may not be as elusive as some may think. BVLOS operations appear to be ramping up and with it, so is the commercial drone industry.

Complex drone operations with high levels of automation have enabled a range of market use cases. While many companies continue to operate within visual line of sight (VLOS) or employ extended line of sight (ELOS), repeatable and scalable operations will require beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations, using fully autonomous drone-in-a-box (DIB) solutions.
