Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to serve as a convenient reference tool that collects the laws of each state into one volume. Though many states have drone laws "on the books" today, every state will eventually have one. For years now, state legislatures have grappled with the use of drones by their citizens. Much of this has occurred in the absence of clear regulatory guidance from the FAA. States were attempting to regulate an industry that was artificially hobbled by a vague, constantly changing federal regulatory scheme. Thankfully, the federal regulations are coming into focus. The long-awaited "Part 107" regulations for small unmanned aircraft systems - or "sUAS" - went into effect on August 29, 2016. Though there are still many questions about these regulations, at least they are in effect. Until they were in place, any commercial drone activity required a special exemption from the FAA. Without the exemption, no one could legally fly. Things are different now. Today, commercial drone operators have a clear path to operating legally under the FAA regulations. This means that many new companies are going to start flying, nationwide. When more drone entrepreneurs start flying under the new federal regulations, the practical effects of state laws that have been passed over the years will become clear. Legislative ideas that looked desirable to some when the drone industry was small may begin to hurt real businesses. This will happen in every state. If the drone industry is to thrive, entrepreneurs and the attorneys that serve them must understand what laws are "out there" that may impact the industry. This book is a step in that direction

Download or read book Aviation Law and Drones written by David Hodgkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aviation industry is being transformed by the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones – commercially, militarily, scientifically and recreationally. National regulations have generally failed to keep pace with the expansion of the fast-growing drone industry. Aviation Law and Drones: Unmanned Aircraft and the Future of Aviation traces the development of aviation laws and regulations, explains how aviation is regulated at an international and national level, considers the interrelationship between rapidly advancing technology and legislative attempts to keep pace, and reviews existing domestic and international drone laws and issues (including safety, security, privacy and airspace issues). Against this background, the book uniquely proposes a rationale for, and key provisions of, guiding principles for the regulation of drones internationally – provisions of which could also be implemented domestically. Finally, the book examines the changing shape of our increasingly busy skies – technology beyond drones and the regulation of that technology. The world is on the edge of major disruption in aviation – drones are just the beginning. Given the almost universal interest in drones, this book will be of interest to readers worldwide, from the academic sector and beyond.

Download or read book Eyes to the Sky written by Matthew Feeney and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a vital addition to understanding the way forward for drones in our national airspace." —Jeramie D. Scott, senior counsel, Electronic Privacy Information Center Drones are among the most exciting and promising new technologies to emerge in the last few decades. Photographers, firefighters, filmmakers, engineers, and retailers have all used drones to improve public safety, innovate, and enhance creativity. Yet drones pose unique regulatory and privacy issues, and lawmakers at the federal and state levels are adopting policies that both ensure the safety of our national airspace and restrict the use of warrantless aerial surveillance. At a time when low-flying drones are affordable and ubiquitous, how useful are the airspace regulations and privacy laws designed for traditional airplanes and helicopters? Is there a way to build a regulatory and legal environment that ensures entrepreneurs and hobbyists can safely use drones while also protecting us from intrusive aerial surveillance? In Eyes to the Sky: Privacy and Commerce in the Age of the Drone, experts from legal, regulatory, public policy, and civil liberty communities tackle these pressing problems. The chapters in this volume highlight not only what we can learn from the history of drone regulation but also propose policies that will allow for an innovative and dynamic drone sector while protecting our privacy. As drone technologies rapidly advance, Eyes to the Sky offers readers the current state of drone capabilities and regulations and a glimpse at exciting and disturbing uses of drones in the near future.
Download or read book Domesticating Drones written by Henry H Perritt, Jr. and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public debate over civilian use of drones is intensifying. Variously called "unmanned aircraft systems", "unmanned aerial vehicles", "remotely piloted aircraft", or simply "drones", they are available for purchase by anyone for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. They have strikingly useful capabilities. They can carry high-definition video cameras, infrared imaging equipment, sensors for aerial surveying and mapping. They can stream their video in real time. They have GPS, inertial guidance, magnetic compasses, altimeters, and sonic ground sensors that permit them to fly a preprogrammed flightplan, take off and land autonomously, hover and orbit autonomously with the flick of a switch on the DRone Operator’s ("DROPs") console. The benefits they can confer on law enforcement, journalism, land-use planning, real estate sales, critical infrastructure protection and environmental preservation activities are obvious. However, their proliferation in response to these demands will present substantial risks to aviation safety. How to ensure the safety of drone operations perplexes aviation regulators around the world. They are inexpensive consumer products, unsuited for traditional requirements for manned aircraft costing hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars and flown only by licensed pilots who have dedicated significant parts of their lives and their wealth to obtaining licenses. Regulatory agencies in Europe and Asia are ahead of US regulators in creating spaces for commercial use. Over the next several years, legal requirements must be crystallized, existing operators of helicopter and airplanes must refine their policy positions and their business plans to take the new technologies into account, and all businesses from the smallest entrepreneur to large conglomerates must decide whether and how to use them. Domesticating Drones offers rigorous engineering, economics, legal and policy theory and doctrine on this important and far-reaching development within aviation.

Download or read book Ethics and Civil Drones written by María de Miguel Molina and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book disseminates some of the results of the European H2020 AiRT Project (Technology transfer of RPAs for the creative industry). In particular, it presents findings related to mitigating safety and security concerns when civil drones are piloted by the service sector (mainly, the creative industry). European policies regarding drones generally focus on outdoor drones, but they are also used indoors. Moreover, a number of European countries have fragmented regulations on drone use, and as a result, European institutions are attempting address these issues. This work is based on a detailed study of the European policies, a comparative analysis of the regulation in various European countries, an analysis of the drone sector in Europe, and primary data from members of the creative industry. The authors created focus groups in Spain, the UK and Belgium in order to discuss with the creative industry the concerns on safety and security when using civil drones for their work. Based on these results, the book offers advice to the European industry, as well as new insights for academics and policymakers.
Download or read book Deadly Drones Why FAA Regulations Miss the Mark on Drone Safety written by Steve Calandrillo and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rapidly growing commercial drone industry has prompted the introduction of numerous regulations governing American airspace. Congress has tasked the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with “developing plans for the use of the navigable airspace to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use” of American skies. While well-intended, the FAA has departed from Congressional will by imposing an excessive regulatory scheme that threatens to stifle drone technology and innovation. In fact, many FAA regulations fail to address the very problem they seek to fix, namely the safety of our airspace. The unfortunate result is that myriad scientific and pragmatic applications of cutting-edge drone technology have been stalled or thwarted entirely inside the U.S., forcing innovation efforts to move abroad.FAA regulations must be dramatically scaled back and reformed to reflect the countless benefits and comparatively minimal risks associated with drone technology. Nonsensical rules such as the one requiring any person over the age of 13 to register her recreational “Christmas toy” drones are excessive as a response to public safety in light of the fact that many other far more prominent threats to public safety (e.g., firearms) have no similar registration requirements. More pragmatically, the line of sight regulations that prevent pilots from using vision-enhancing devices such as first-person view technology needlessly restrict the commercial applications of drones, including long distance package delivery. Finally, while the FAA and various other regulatory bodies currently control the spaces in which drones can be legally flown, drone manufacturers are far better equipped to accomplish this goal themselves through the incorporation of geofencing technology (which directly prevents drones from flying into restricted areas like airports). In sum, American laws and regulations governing the flight of commercial drones are overly restrictive, unnecessarily stifle valuable innovation, and must be revised to ensure that the true potential of drone technology can be realized.
Download or read book Unmanned Aircraft Systems Uas in the Cyber Domain Protecting Usa s Advanced Air Assets written by Julie J. C. H. Ryan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are an integral part of the US national critical infrastructure. They must be protected from hostile intent or use to the same level as any other military or commercial asset involved in US national security. However, from the Spratly Islands to Djibouti to heartland America, the expanding Chinese Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS / Drone) industry has outpaced the US technologically and numerically on all fronts: military, commercial, and recreational. Both countries found that there were large information security gaps in unmanned systems that could be exploited on the international cyber-security stage. Many of those gaps remain today and are direct threats to US advanced Air Assets if not mitigated upfront by UAS designers and manufacturers. The authors contend that US military / commercial developers of UAS hardware and software must perform cyber risk assessments and mitigations prior to delivery of UAS systems to stay internationally competitive and secure. The authors have endeavored to bring a breadth and quality of information to the reader that is unparalleled in the unclassified sphere. This book will fully immerse and engage the reader in the cyber-security considerations of this rapidly emerging technology that we know as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Topics covered include National Airspace (NAS) policy issues, information security, UAS vulnerabilities in key systems (Sense and Avoid / SCADA), collision avoidance systems, stealth design, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms; weapons systems security; electronic warfare considerations; data-links, jamming operational vulnerabilities and still-emerging political scenarios that affect US military / commercial decisions.
