Philip Hicks, partner at Campaign Catapult and Principal Consultant and Founder of Pravo Consulting reports on the latest milestones achieved by industry drone and sensor experts and academics in the pursuit of mixed use air space and safe operations beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations have taken a step forward in the…
uAvionix, a leading provider of command, navigation, and surveillance technologies for drones, today announced that the Oswego City Police Department’s Drone as a First Responder (DFR) program has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval for operations Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) without Visual Observers (VOs) using the uAvionix Casia G ground-based detect-and-avoid (DAA) system….
We ran out of time at the ARPAS-UK Annual Conference 2024 – due to some excellent discussions in previous sessions and weren’t able to run this session. We promised to run a webinar on Risk Quantification and the next steps for the BVLOS Special Interest Group and this is it. In addition the JARUS SORA…

The prospect of remotely piloted drones operating in and out of some of the UK’s busiest airports has taken a step closer to reality following a series of pioneering simulations by the air traffic management service, NATS. The simulations, run at NATS’ head office in Hampshire, demonstrated how drones could be seamlessly integrated alongside other…
Let’s each respond to the CAA’s consultation by April 2. ARPAS-UK supports the introduction of the Atypical Air Environment policy, as an incremental step to facilitate BVLOS operations in lower risk environment, where no another aircraft is expected to be, for example just above assets that are inspected. These will already unlock a lot of…
Work is ongoing in the UK, Europe and the US to determine the technical standards for systems such as parachutes and flight termination systems that will be accepted as Means of Compliance with safety requirements. Adding these systems to your drones would support OSC approval for higher safety risk operations, in particular to mitigate ground…
