According to the CNN report on the 25th, Amazon's dream of drone delivery will soon shine into reality. The White House announced on Wednesday that President Trump signed a memorandum on the 25th to "unlock" the development of drones, hoping to increase the use of drones in commercial and rescue areas, and accelerate and promote U.S. drone industries. Develop and create more job opportunities.
Three-year pilot program
According to CNN, in this memo, Trump instructed the U.S. Department of Transportation to launch a three-year drone pilot program to cooperate with state and local governments to set up drone complex operation testing areas that will allow no one The aircraft flew to airspace up to 122 meters above the ground, and tested operations that were currently prohibited by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for flights beyond the line of sight and over dense populations, even at night.
In recent years, the development of the UAV industry has advanced by leaps and bounds, but the government's supervision of related technologies has not kept pace. Many companies in the United States have shifted their business overseas, for example, Google tested its drone delivery business in Australia; Amazon conducted similar tests in the United Kingdom. The White House also wrote in a statement that the current U.S. drone surveillance system has become obsolete, limiting the integration of drones with the U.S. national airspace system.
Previously, the management of the sky belonged to the federal government rather than to the local government. Because the aircraft flew thousands of feet above the ground, its impact on the items under it was minimal. However, with the continuous development of technology, small drones can fly directly over houses, sidewalks, public places, etc. In view of this, the state government and local governments have been actively fighting for the right to manage drones, the latest White House. The decision to comply with this call has given local governments more autonomy to test drones.
According to Gregory McNeil, co-founder of UAV startup AirMap and professor of law at Pepperdine University, “As we all know, drones are different from human-driven aircraft, and management departments need to consider this. He explained that if the local government and the state government have no say in when and where the drone will fly, it may cause a lot of trouble. For example, the fire department may not be able to launch drones because another drone is sending parcels nearby. Some local governments are also worried that they cannot limit drones flying at specific times such as parades, fireworks, sports games, and public gatherings.
According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on the 25th, the White House said in a statement that the pilot program will open airspace for the delivery of life-saving drugs and commercial parcels, inspection of critical infrastructure, and support for emergency operations. At the same time, it will help test the reliability and safety of drone traffic management systems, related detection and tracking capabilities, anti-UAV security operations, and human-computer data links.
Apply to more business areas
The White House said that this move also hopes to find new commercial uses for aircraft and create new jobs. In June of this year, Trump told executives in the drone industry that the government wanted to “create new companies and more jobs.†UAV makers also called for the government to support drones faster. Apply to more business areas.
Currently, there are more than 1 million UAVs registered in the United States. The FAA estimates that by 2021, U.S. small UAVs will be three times the current size; the number of commercial UAVs is expected to be 10 times today, reaching 442,000 aircraft. The U.S. Department of Transportation said in a statement that drones have enormous economic potential and that they are expected to create economic benefits of up to $82 billion for the United States in the next 10 years and bring in as many as 100,000 new jobs.
Security issues are worrying
At the same time, drones may also cause some security problems. On September 24 this year, a civilian drone collided with a Black Hawk helicopter over New York. After the impact, the U.S. military helicopters were slightly damaged and drones were completely dismantled. The U.S. military can be described as having "love and hate" for drones. Not long ago, the 445th expeditionary wing of the U.S. Air Force was equipped with drones to train soldiers in dealing with commercial drones properly.
The misfortune was not alone. In mid-October, a commercial aircraft hit an unmanned aerial vehicle near the airport in Quebec City, Canada. The Canadian Transport Minister issued a statement saying that this was the first accident in Canada where a drone collided with a commercial aircraft. The plane was only slightly damaged and it was still safe to land. According to statistics, 1,596 accidents involving drones occurred in Canada so far this year, 131 of which were considered to have caused aviation safety hazards.
On the other hand, drones are small and flexible. A slight modification can become a weapon and it is easy to interfere with other aircraft. The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prohibited drones from flying above 133 U.S. military installations and 10 U.S. landmarks (including the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore National Memorial Park, etc.).
White House consultant Michael Corretesios said: "In order to maintain the leadership and dominance of the United States in emerging industries in the country, the United States needs to develop a new (for drone) management framework to encourage innovation while ensuring aviation safety. â€
New technologies can help
The world-famous drone manufacturer and China's Dajiang Company released a new technology on Wednesday, which may help the law enforcement agencies to better ensure the safe use of drones.
DJI’s technology called “Aeroscope†in Washington, DC, USA, can use existing commands and control signals to enable radio transmission between drones and remote controls. Authorized customers, such as the local police department, can use them. Aeroscope looks at any drone in a radius of 5 kilometers. The scanner displays information such as the position, altitude, speed, direction, and takeoff position of the drone, helping law enforcement agencies easily identify and track drones.
After solving these security and management problems, perhaps someday in the future, people can eat Mexican chicken rolls from drones in their own yards at two o'clock in the afternoon.
