How a bottom up and multi-stakeholder approach can assist countries in scaling up drone operations to a national level network and future air mobility.
Over the past few years, the world has witnessed a number of successful UAS applications in delivering goods to remote areas and allowing communities to get vital access to medical supplies. The next frontiers for this technology is in an urban setting.
Urban life presents many opportunities to integrate commercial uses of this technology, including the fast delivery of goods, emergency assistance, and even the futuristic replacement of cars. However, this environment also proves to be the hardest to implement this technology, presenting the need for drones to overcome the many obstacles, safety hazards, and dense aerial space. These factors have thus far significantly limited the current scope of commercial use.
