PrecisionHawk, a leading provider of commercial drone technology, is calling on state, local and tribal governments to submit their proposals to the U.S. government’s UAS Integration Pilot Program by November 28th. Following a policy memorandum from President Trump, the U.S. Department of Transportation is launching the program to generate data that will ultimately inform the development of federal regulations for advanced drone operations—examples include flight over people and beyond line of sight flight.
Three core competencies position PrecisionHawk as a valuable partner to governments developing UAS Integration Pilot Program proposals:
PrecisionHawk was founded in 2010 and has since contributed to the development of policy and safety initiatives related to drones. The goal: regulations that protect the safety and security of America’s National Airspace, while promoting innovation and economic development. Under the FAA Pathfinder Program, PrecisionHawk has been conducting research on beyond line of sight operations (BVLOS). The resulting data has informed the FAA’s development of BVLOS operational safety requirements.
“We believe that the UAS Integration Pilot Program is in-line with PrecisionHawk’s approach, which is to provide expertise and recommendations to rule-makers that are rooted in data,” said Diana Cooper, SVP of Policy and Strategy at PrecisionHawk. “Under the Pathfinder Program, we were able to see first-hand the benefit of involving industry stakeholders in the future of rulemaking. We look forward to extending that reach to the broader community.”
