Drones: A Case Study

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have become a quickly growing part of the aviation community over the last five to ten years. More and more of these aircraft are flying in the National Airspace System (NAS) with each passing year, without any set rules governing their operation. With the growing population of UAS in the NAS, for military, civil, and commercial use, the need for regulation is becoming increasingly obvious. How to regulate this type of aircraft is no simple task. Taking into consideration the many factors of these aircraft such as size, purpose, who is using them, and location of use, it is difficult to determine what regulation is required. That is the task that has been set before the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). To determine what type of regulation is needed to integrate and ensure the safe operation of UAS in the NAS since the skies that they share are shared with manned aircraft.

As an agriculture surveyor who is trying to utilize drones to increase the efficiency of the surveying the land for my customers, I would have a lot to consider before starting usage of the drones. Currently, the FFA has been given the power to create federal regulations around the operation of drones, but they have not been clearly defined yet which would make operating drones. Some states and local municipalities have even also created their own statutes in order to keep up with the technology. Due to the fragmented rules governing different areas and a lack of clear regulation from the federal government, operating a drone could open my business up to substantial unforeseen liabilities. I would need to make sure to I have done enough

A famous case of drones being used unsafely happened October 2016 in Dubai where a drone entered into the airspace of Dubai International airport. This drone ended up preventing any flights from departing and arriving at the airport for over an hour, inconveniencing thousands and costing airlines millions. These sorts of unauthorized drone flights have closed the Dubai airport already twice in 2016 making this the 3rd occurrence.12

In August of 2012 an engineer from Yemen by the name of Faisal bin Ali Gaber, lost his cousin and brother-in-law to a drone strike that was sent with no warning to the town. The CIA and the US military had been using the deadly and lethal drones for well over a decade, also resulting in a death a few weeks prior to the incident in Yemen. The US government notices and has taken steps in trying to reduce their attack numbers, but the strikes were not eliminated fully, still resulting in more deaths.The drone usage should have stricter regulations to reduce the attacks by the US military, not only do they take innocent lives, they also cost a fortune and are being used as killer weapons without restrictions.

Referring back to the conference held on Wednesday afternoon, one of the most noticeable resolution states that drones should be implemented in working paper 1.1. The conference began with the topic regarding this resolution. Some delegates are questioning the effectiveness of taking drones as a resolution to be considered and believe that it is a short-term solution.

In this article Bart Jansen presents a highly objective viewpoint about how the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has begun regulating drone operations across the nation. Commercial and personal drone use has been on the rise over the past decade, with the military being among the first to begin using remotely piloted aircrafts (RPA). I believe that the FAA is completely going in the right direction with the regulations that are being set in place. As an active duty aviator, I can account multiple instances where drone sightings abnormally close to or on military bases have led to elevated advisories for flight operations. I can only assume that busy commercial airports have to take even greater precautions after sightings of low,

drone our solution to the close inspection close mapping info mapping and 3d modeling professional market this is a drone that's been built from the ground up imagining what people need as features to be able to do an inspection and what we realize that typical drones that have been out there so far big big drones with a hanging camera underneath they're just not meant for inspection what what do we need for inspection we need to be able to go up to a building go up to a power line go up to a dam get up really close and see features down to the millimeter we need to be able to be within a meter or two of the object to be able to scan it we need to be able to look underneath objects bridges for example you want to be able to look up mapping

The drone was up in the air flying high, this was our third try of the night. It flew just a centimeter above the bush it was a close one. William started to get the drone down and on the ground. As it was approaching the ground it flew back up. William tried to get the drone to stop but it wouldn't. It just took off going into the street. We chased after it running like marathon finalists. It started it's familiar zig zag patterns. At this point we didn't care how it came down out of the air we just wanted it on the ground and turned off! Then it came down to the ground faster than a bullet. We saw it try to go up again and ran to it fast. I picked it up and the propellers started hitting me hard. Spinning again and again hitting me again and

The drone would be loaded with its maximum payload and be sent into the battle to neutralize the hostile forces. Drones can be sent into the most dangerous of battlefields without the risk of the loss of life. Instead of leaving our troops stranded in combat because the risk of losing a plane or pilot is too great; a drone can be sent to provide support. Drones allow our military to have another way to save our troops without the risk of casualties. However, our military is not limited to aerial drones when trying to save lives during combat. According to Michael Mayer, the author of “The New Killer Drones”, “… unmanned ground vehicles can disarm improvised explosive devices, and unmanned underwater vehicles can clear mines or even engage an opponent’s maritime assets” (Mayer 1). In the Middle East, there is always the threat of an ambush. Normally enemy combatants plant IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) on roads and wait to ambush our convoys. Now when our convoys see a disturbance in the road, they can stop the convoy and send a drone to investigate the road. If they find an IED in the road, our troops can attempt to disarm the bomb with the drone or they can rig the drone with explosives and detonate it over the bomb

I think that in the near future, we're going to have some sort of unilateral legislation that will eliminate this incomplete patchwork of laws that exist in some states, but not in others and are tough in some states and vague in others. I feel that it has to get done soon, because the drone industry is booming. After all, Duke told us on Tuesday that the industry is expected to add 70,000 jobs nationwide in the next 5 years, which for any field is absolutely INSANE. So with that many more drones in the hands of consumers and that much more money going into the drone industry, it is necessary for the government to be able to effectively govern drone use before we see more drones in the air than cars on the road (not really, but go with it).

Drones are now evolving in everyday life, but should we let this technology be flying freely. We need laws on drones to be restrict to protect the public. Laws must be placed on drones to secure the protection of certain rights, meanwhile still allowing the drone its self to be used by the public. The safety of others is the main objective because there are incidents where people have gotten permanent injuries. A little boy lost his eye so are we going to let this pass by or do something about it. No photos/recording of others because that’s a violation of privacy, and restricted areas are off limits like private companies or transportation builds. The history about these UAV drones is “First, the drone was used as a practice target

away. Capitalizing the 10 drones will be a violation of matching principle, which is against the IFRS and fair representation of the financial statement, therefore, does not meet our primary financial reporting objective. Thus, Phantom Inc. should expense the 10 testing Stealth drones.

Our objective is to focus on commercial drones in China because “China’s commercial sector is well-positioned for drone use, as the country is increasingly adopting advanced technology and automation to counter rising labor costs.” The advantage of this product in the delivery industry is lower long-term costs, which will reduce labor and transportation costs. Specifically, drone is a normal good, or an luxury good.

Did you know that just in 2017 over a million consumer drones were sold just in the United States. It is not surprising since a drone with its ability to capture footage from the air, which otherwise would be impossible for an average person. Having the capability to capture footage from above, stream a game, or go around the city without being there; gives peoples' sense of control and freedom. Soon, Amazon might be shipping packages right to home using Drone technology. But Having such a large number of drones present in the United States could have unforeseen complications. One major problem drones can pose lies in their ability to reduce our privacy. Drones can be remote controlled from far away, which can give the user a sense of detachment from the consequences of his/her actions. They were built for the purpose of war and private markets have exploited that technology for the use of consumers. Drones can reduce privacy by taking pictures of people without consent, flying in areas without permission, and spying on people without them knowing. We must find a solution that can limit the drones abilities to reduce our privacy. I am not saying that the drones should be taken away entirely; drones provide a good hobby and great quality videos online. But, without some sort of regulation; drones can take people’s privacy.

Drone technology is advancing rapidly and it is changing the way in which things are being done. Drones are widely used by many people as a hobby or for career purposes, as well as for military purposes by the United States. Drones provide the U.S military with many benefits, which helps the military to operate efficiently and in a safe manner. Businesses are utilizing this technology as well in order to make their companies run more efficiently, as well as to improve their customer service. Drone technology will positively impact our society; drastically change our culture and political system and definitely advance our economy as well as help enhance our environment.
