While Hurricane Ian has weakened after devastating parts of Florida&mdash;destroying homes and other property and leaving more than 2.6 million residents and businesses without electricity&mdash;current reports show the storm should hit South Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane on Friday.
Ian has become one of the strongest hurricanes to ever hit the United States.
As drone pilots have been documenting the damage, here is a gallery of video of video footage. It's hard to watch, of course, but much appreciation to the brave pilots who are assisting with news updates and data for rescue efforts.

Drones Reporting on Hurricane Ian Destruction

28 September 2022
By&nbsp;Wang Qi
After entering the 21st century, new energy represented by hydrogen energy, with its advantages of high efficiency, no pollution and zero emission, has been increasingly valued by countries all over the world.
As a main form of hydrogen energy application, hydrogen fuel cells are two to three times higher than traditional lithium batteries in terms of energy density, and are superior to traditional lithium batteries in terms of ease of use and safety, and will not produce secondary pollution. Compared with traditional internal combustion engine power, hydrogen fuel cells are pollution-free, zero-emission, and low-vibration, and are one of the best choices for long-endurance drones.
In recent years, domestic and foreign companies have successively launched fixed-wing UAVs and multi-rotor UAVs with hydrogen fuel cells as the main energy source, but the research and development of hydrogen-energy vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAVs has always been blank.
On May 30, 2019, <a href="https://www.jouav.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JOUAV</a> signed an agreement with Doosan Innovation. JOUAV Co., Ltd. was responsible for the hydrogen-powered UAV platform system, and Doosan was responsible for the hydrogen-powered UAV fuel cell system. The first flight of the hydrogen-powered technology demonstrator was achieved that year.
The JOUAV CW (DJ)-25H hydrogen-powered VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) jointly developed by JOUAV and Doosan Innovation has the characteristics of zero emissions, no noise, low vibration, and low maintenance costs.
<h5>JOUAV CW (DJ)-25H Specs</h5>

JOUAV was established in April 2010 and based in Chengdu, China. In 2015, CW-20 was released, it is the first industrial-grade VTOL fixed wing UAV in China. On February 2021, JOUAV became the first listed company in China stock whose main business is UAV and related technology. Current models comprise CW-007, CW-15, CW-25E, CW-40 and CW-100, with the weight covering 6.8~105 kg and endurance covering 1~10 hours.
JOUAV has been constantly enriching CW series drones are widely used in surveying and mapping, pipeline power inspection, security monitoring, emergency and other fields. The hydrogen-powered vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV launched this time is an ice-breaking attempt by JOUAV in continuous innovation, high-efficiency, green energy and sustainable development.
Promoting green and low-carbon development with clean energy is the fundamental path for mankind to cope with global climate change, and it is also the key to sustainable development and building a better life.
The application of hydrogen energy is an effective way to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. CW-25H will further promote the green development of industrial drones with its leading fuel cell system and excellent flight performance.

Following a detailed six-month audit of its drone operations, governance, and safety standards, the Verizon corporate drone program has become the first recipient of the International Standards for Business Aircraft Operations (<a href="https://ibac.org/is-bao" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener follow" data-wpel-link="external">IS-BAO</a>) registration for best practices.
The independent audit validates safety, administration, and operating standards, and also paves the way for expansion of drone operations, such as beyond visual line of sight flights. Verizon is currently one of only two U.S. drone operators to receive an IS-BAO registration.
&ldquo;This achievement demonstrates that Verizon is truly operating above and beyond the current legal standards for commercial drone operations, and that we are deploying drones to the same high standards as traditional commercial aviation,&rdquo; says Dustin Schocken, head of Verizon Drone Use and Compliance (VZDUC). &ldquo;These results validate Verizon&rsquo;s advanced Safety Management System and the entire operating ecosystem in which we fly drones to support our business and our customers.&rdquo;
Since the inception of Verizon's drone program in 2017, more than 17,000 flights totaling over 4,000 flight hours have been launched. The drones are constantly in the air to perform network testing and performance monitoring. They collect images and use software to develop 3D models of network&nbsp; infrastructure, enabling quick and efficient inspection and upgrades. The drones also increase job safety, as engineers don't have to climb towers. Instead, they can use drones to do their inspection duties. In addition, Verizon uses drones to swiftly restore network access to customers during natural disasters.
&ldquo;Congratulations to Verizon Aviation RPAS for achieving IS-BAO and for their commitment to safety," says S-BAO Programme Director Andrew Karas. "The Verizon team worked hard for this accomplishment and provided valuable input to IBAC for RPAS safety standards development similar to our manned operator standards, and reflect efforts made for the industry, and by the industry.&rdquo;
The purpose of the IS-BAO is to forge standardized, safe, and highly professional aircraft operations. The voluntary IS-BAO safety standard is administered by the International Business Aviation Council, a global business aviation advocacy group.&nbsp;

With more than a few tech evangelists predicting eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle) air taxis will be transporting fares for test flights by 2024&mdash;and that the industry could be in full swing by 2030&mdash;massive investments in aircraft and infrastructure presage an urban air mobility (UAM) system built around clean-energy aircraft. Companies such as United Airlines have already dropped multi-millions to assemble eVTOL fleets that promise to revolutionize air travel, eradicate carbon emissions, and create a green future for the airline industry.
But forward-looking aviation companies aren't limited to developing eVTOLs. Australia's <a href="https://skyportz.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Skyportz</a>, for example, seeks to build a "destination network" of vertiports in the country to move both people and freight. The first Australian veriport design was debuted on August 30, and is set for construction at Caribbean Park in Melbourne&mdash;the fastest-growing commerce precinct outside of the city's central business district.
&ldquo;With the development of a vertiport in a business park, we are breaking the nexus between aviation and airports," says Skyportz CEO Clem Newton-Brown. "For this industry to succeed, it needs to have policy makers pushing the envelope to support new mini airports in locations people want to go. Community support is going to be the key to the development of these services. The community is going to have to see the benefits. Electric air taxis will be a new era in aviation where clean, green, and quiet small aircraft can take people to places they want to go&mdash;be it work or leisure. The Caribbean Park vertiport is the first in a network of sites we will establish in advance of [eVTOL] aircraft becoming widely operational.&rdquo;
<img src="https://media.thedroningcompany.com/images/tincy/pGBjNCTrHYaX4KKrOJrhh1VhUEiYrT4Tj2rNPX3H.jpg" alt="" width="263" height="370" />
Clem Newton-Brown
The Caribbean Park vertiport is being designed by the Sydney, Australia architecture firm, <a href="http://www.contrerasearl.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Contreras Earl</a>.
"We are proud to have designed Australia&rsquo;s first vertiport&mdash;a beautiful, sculptural, ground-breaking terminal that contributes to the evolution of architecture and to the future of our communities and cities," says Rafael Contreras, Director, Contreras Earl Architecture. "We founded our firm to design original, inventive buildings like Skyportz, as we believe architecture and technology should evolve together. Using advanced technology, we developed an efficient modular design made with recyclable aluminum. The system is lightweight, prefabricated, and assembled on site, so that it can be adapted and configured for a broad range of settings and scaled for mass production."
The component-structured vertiports&mdash;which Contreras Earl designed with site-specific input from aviation consultants <a href="https://www.arup.com/expertise/services/infrastructure/airport-planning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arup</a> and <a href="https://to70.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">To70 Aviation</a>&mdash;can be packed into shipping containers and delivered anywhere in the world. <a href="https://www.beta.team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beta Technologies</a> is set to provide battery-charging stations. For Caribbean Park, the plan is to include three active landing pads and multiple charging bays. The vertiports can be retrofitted into structures such as multi-level car parks and existing heliports, and can be utilized as bars, cafes, or event spaces until the time is right to activate the sites as eVTOL destinations.
&ldquo;Skyportz is offering the property industry a chance to get on the front foot and install these lightweight, affordable vertiports in advance of being able to actually use them," says Newton-Brown, who acknowledges that countries have not yet adopted regulations and standards for these new vertiports. "But there is no point developing air taxis and other eVTOL services if the aircraft can't land in new locations."
On September 14, Skyportz has opened its vertiport database to accept registrations across the globe for potential sites.

Evolving Tech: Skyportz Preps for eVTOL Future

<div class="m-detail--body">
22 September 2022
As part of the secretive U.S. Air Force Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, a new stealth fighter is reportedly being developed and tested that can control a flight of "wingman" drones&mdash;called Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA)&mdash;that can bedevil enemy air defenses, survey high-risk areas, and deliver weapons.</div>
<div class="m-detail--body">

<div class="jw-aspect jw-reset">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="jw-aspect jw-reset">The facility of manned jets to control multiple drones is rapidly emerging&mdash;or is even already already here&mdash;and a sixth-generation stealth fighter with more speed, covertness, maneuverability, and lethal capacity is seen as part of a "family of systems" to address changing military threats.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
</div>
</figure>
</div>
</div>
<div class="m-detail--body">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="m-detail--body">&ldquo;Will there be manned platforms in two variants?" pondered Air Force Acquisition Executive Andrew Hunter. "We definitely want to think that through. The first task is to deliver a manned platform. We will evaluate along the way, as there is an incremental approach to the possibility of variants."&nbsp;Air Force Secretary</div>
<div class="m-detail--body">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="m-detail--body">Frank Kendall has gone on record as stating the manned variant of the emerging sixth-generation Next-Generation Air Dominance family of systems may simultaneously control as many as five drones. That said, precise configurations and details of the NGAD manned and unmanned platforms under a security cloak&mdash;or still being evolved for key operational imperatives.&nbsp;</div>
<div class="m-detail--body">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="m-detail--body">&ldquo;We need an aircraft that can perform operations in denied airspace and make sure we have the ability to establish freedom of maneuver," said Hunter. "We&rsquo;ve had successful uncrewed platforms going back decades. It&rsquo;s challenging to have a platform able to operate in denied air space. We also need that [drone] platform to be affordable, so we can get some mass&mdash;not something too expensive that we can&rsquo;t afford to lose. We are doing design trades. It needs to be able to assist the mission of the NGAD system, and it will involve a weapons-carrying capacity to work with a piloted aircraft.&rdquo;&nbsp;

<div class="jw-aspect jw-reset">Multiple, networked CCAs working in close coordination with a manned &ldquo;host&rdquo; plane will reduce latency by not needing to send data through a ground station, streamline time-sensitive data, and massively shorten sensor-to-shooter time. For example, an armed combat drone could autonomously identify targets, allowing a human decision maker to destroy enemy threats from a safe distance. Furthermore, AI-enabled data processing could analyze a host of mission variables from disparate sensor information.&nbsp;</div>

Next Gen Manned and Unmanned Air Fighters

20 September 2022
As the drone market continues to grow seemingly unabated&mdash;expectations are that the drone industry will hit the $42.8 billion mark by 2025&mdash;<a href="https://surfshark.com/drone-privacy-laws" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Surfshark.com</a> has just released a truly incredible series of maps on drone privacy laws in 200 countries around the world.
As published on the site: "As the use of drones expands around the world&mdash;according to the Federal Aviation Administration, there are currently 1.7 million drones registered in the United States alone&mdash;lawmakers have been faced with new and complex regulatory challenges to protect the privacy of ordinary citizens. The increased prevalence of drones has raised the prospect of pervasive surveillance by governments, companies, and individuals, and lawmakers are struggling to keep up with the advancing technology. While at least 143 countries have enacted some form of drone-related regulation, many experts contend that current drone regulation is insufficient to deal with the threat of widespread surveillance.
"Drone laws around the world range from outright bans of the technology to relatively unrestricted flight, but most legislation focuses on how the drone is being operated, and does not address nuances related to privacy. Many of the privacy threats that have lawmakers concerned are speculative and rely on the technology of tomorrow, making it difficult to pass privacy-specific legislation today. In the meantime, lawmakers have been able to pass laws concerning drone operation, which are a first step to &ldquo;privacy by design&rdquo; legislation, restricting where and how a drone can be flown to minimize opportunities to violate privacy in the first place.
"To support the effort to establish an international regulatory framework for drone legislation, we looked at drone operation laws in over 200 countries around the world."
<h5>Regulatory Initiatives</h5>
Surfshark found that, as of October 2020, world-wide regulations regarding drones typically fell into one of seven categories:
<ul>
<li>Outright ban</li>
<li>Effective ban</li>
<li>Restrictions Apply (such as drone registration or licensing, additional observers required, no commercial usage etc..)</li>
<li>Visual line of sight required</li>
<li>Experimental visual line of sight (experiments where drones fly beyond the line of sight are allowed)</li>
<li>Unrestricted (when flying away from private property and airports, under 500 ft height and with drones weighing less than 0.5 lb.)</li>
<li>No drone-related legislation</li>
</ul>
<h5>Europe</h5>
Drone regulations have been tightened by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in the EU and countries such as Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland. There are different rules based on the drone design itself and where it is being flown. A drone operator must be registered if his or her drone is equipped with a camera or other surveillance device, and weighs more than approximately 0.5 lb.
According to Surfshark, the only European countries with no privacy restrictions on drones are Sweden and Estonia. Visual line of sight flying is required in Norway, the Netherlands, Iceland, Romania, and a few other countries. Experimental VLOS is allowed in most European nations, including England, France, Spain, Germany, and Poland. The only effective ban on droning was in Bulgaria.

<h5>North America</h5>
Thirty-three percent of countries in North America allow for experimental drone flights beyond VLOS. The high percent&mdash;the largest share of any continent&mdash;is due to tech-based companies such as Amazon, DHL, and Walmart that are looking at drone-delivery infrastructures. The FAA is requiring that all drones broadcast an identification number and the location of its pilot by 2023.
The only outright bans on drones are not surprisingly in Cuba and Nicaragua. Mexico allows VLOS flights only, and drone legislation is currently non-existent in countries such as Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti. Drone use in unrestricted in Panama.

<h5>South America</h5>
No South American countries have outright or effective bans on drones, but only Guyana has provisions for BVLOS flights. Some countries have safety and environmental restrictions. For example, Peru limits drone flights to an hour, and the Galapagos Islands ban drones completely, except for approved scientific use.

<h5>Middle East and Central Asia</h5>
Fifteen percent of countries in Asia have effective bans on drones&mdash;almost double the eight percent global average. That said, a small percentage of countries&mdash;such as Japan&mdash;are starting to allow BVLOS flights with appropriate licensing.
<img src="https://media.thedroningcompany.com/images/tincy/IqYbe3aC2B6WF9eaZA0JnUdbFvcdf4T74orig2V9.jpg" alt="" width="689" height="689" />
<h5>Asia and Oceania</h5>
There is no drone-related legislation in 56 percent of countries in Oceania&mdash;the biggest share of any continent. No countries have outright bans or effective bans of drones, and most require VLOS.

<h5>Africa</h5>
More than half the countries in Africa have no drone legislation at all, but in those countries that do, 21 perrcent have outright bans. So, while there are obstacles to drone flight in a number of African countries, innovation is celebrated in others. For example, Ghana and Rwanda allow drones to fly BVLOS to deliver medical supplies.&nbsp;

Drone Privacy Across the Globe

<table width="100%">

<td width="59%">
19 September 2022
By Luis Escobedo
I was asked by The Droning Company CEO Stuart Smith to write an article about drones and my role in the drone industry. I thought for some time&mdash;maybe too long&mdash;what I should write about it, and after talking to some people, I realized my added value in the drone industry relies on my background and how I have learnt to integrate my knowledge in one specific field: Farming.
I grew up in Mexico City. I have a bachelor&rsquo;s degree in International Relations, however, since 2008, I have been focused on renewable energies. I started working for a German company developing wind farms. Later, I moved to a French company, where my role was to develop solar farms, and, later, in 2016, I ended up working for a Spanish company developing wind and energy farms.
Part of my role in these companies was to scout potential sites where these kinds of renewable projects could to be built. I had to visit remote areas and talk to the farmers about the possibility of renting their land for an energy project. I started learning more about the value of the land, and how farmers work and make money. During the years 2008 to 2018, I was able to visit the 32 States of Mexico and get insights of dozens of farmers.&nbsp;
In 2018, I attended a solar-energy conference in San Francisco where I met Aerospec&rsquo;s CEO. Aerospec was a technology company focused on aerial thermography over solar farms. After some negotiations, I partnered with him to open the Mexican market. I quit my job and decided to sell this technology. Beneath our projects, we did the drone inspection of one of the largest solar farms in the world: Villanueva (848 megawatts) in Coahuila, Mexico.
<h5>WATCH!</h5>
<iframe style="width: 660px; height: 371px;" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Yp9JYQ-Chk" width="660" height="371" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
With the use of three drones and thermal cameras, we were able to scan 2.4 million solar panels in just seven days. By then, I was just in charge of coordinating my team. I didn&rsquo;t know how to fly a drone, however, the UAV industry seemed very exciting to me.&nbsp;
I decided to look online for drone training, and I found NJ Drone Academy. I called the manager and signed up for some training. I flew from Mexico and took as many drone courses as I could. I presented my FAA Part 107 exam (which I failed) and got back to Mexico with a wide understanding about the industry.
Later that year, I went back to California&mdash;but, this time, to Monterey, where I attended a PMA conference about technology and innovation in agriculture. There, I met Aerobotics and I was impressed by the idea of digital farming. I went back to Mexico and started reading and learning more about drones in farming.
By the end of 2019, I founded <a href="https://agro-byte.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AgroByte</a>.
I realized that if the world keeps farming the way it has done for the last few years, there is not going to be enough food to nourish ten-billion people in 2050. I decided to take the challenge and start doing something about it.
AgroByte is a company focused on helping farmers increase the yield of their crops by using drones, sensors, satellites, and specialized software. My idea has been to manage a farm as it has been done in solar and wind farms, focusing more on the preventive maintenance than in the corrective one.&nbsp;
<img src="https://media.thedroningcompany.com/images/tincy/gZavzsgJMLV5eMf67AgxV5kHNOtZOV7i9kaU2iyh.jpg" alt="" width="626" height="352" />
In June 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, NJ Drone Academy&rsquo;s owner sold me his business. I rebranded the Academy to Byte Drone Center, and besides giving drone training, I also started providing different drone services. In 2020, I decided to have a major focus in agriculture.

Today, we have signed alliances with software companies, drone resellers, and insurance companies to become a one-stop shop for the farmer who wants to digitize and automate their farm.
After trying several drones, sensors, and software, I decided to work with DJI products for now, as it allows me to have a smoother workflow. We use a Phantom 4 Pro, a Phantom 4 RTK multispectral, a D-RTK 2 GNSS station, and a spraying drone, Agras T10. We use this hardware to collect imagery and execute missions, and we use software such as Pix4D Mapper, Pix4D Fields, Solvi, and Drone Deploy. The integration of this hardware and software helps us guide the farmer to make the best decisions. We can assess the crops' health, count plants, inspect and report disasters to crop insurance companies, and we can also provide some spraying services in certain fields&mdash;thanks to our collaboration with Part 137 certified company, Hawk Eye Spray Drone.&nbsp;
At this moment, we are working on getting our own Part 137 and the waiver to fly over 55 pounds, which would increase our efficiency.&nbsp;
I think farming has to change, and it will do so in the next five years. The United States has been a little bit slow in adopting this technology, because there are many regulations (as there should be). However, I don&rsquo;t think we are far away from having digital farming as a mainstream way of producing food.&nbsp;

A Pilot's Story: Drones in Agriculture

16 September 2022
A drone-training session by the Fremont County Sheriff's Office in Colorado Springs, Colorado, lead to the rescue of a golden retriever that had been missing for three months.
The training session was undertaken in an area where the dog&mdash;named Farah&mdash;had been seen and even photographed by residents the past few months. Rescue attempts were unsuccessful.
"If people got too close, she'd run away," said Farah's owner, Taylor Salazar. "She knew where to go. She was hiding."&nbsp;
However, the infrared camera on the drone deployed by sheriff's deputies found Farah almost immediately after the training session was launched. Salazar was called, and she was able to assist the deputies in retrieving Farah by offering up a piece of chicken meat.
"She stuck her head through the barbed wire fence, and the next minute she was laying in my lap," said Salazar.&nbsp;
"Today the FCSO UAS team took part in a training mission with a humanitarian twist," stated the Fremont County Sheriff's Office on its Facebook page. "Farah the Golden Retrever was lost several months ago when the car she was in was involved in an accident. Today, the FCSO drone was deployed in the area where she was last seen. Within minutes, deputies spotted her using the drone's infrared camera. A short time later, Farah was reunited with her family. She is safely on her way home, and the UAS team was able to practice some very valuable search and rescue techniques with our drone."

Salazar told Colorado Springs-based radio station <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://krdo.com/news/2022/09/12/fremont-county-sheriffs-office-finds-dog-missing-for-months-with-drone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KRDO</a> that she and her late husband adopted Farah in 2019, after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
"We needed something to brighten up our household, and she did just that," said Salazar. "My husband was in love with her the minute he saw her."
Sadly, her husband passed away, and years later, Salazar's father was involved in an auto accident with Farah in the car. He suffered a seizure, and when his car crashed in a relatively unlit rural area, Farah ran off.&nbsp;
The dog had been in the wild until the drone spotted her.
It was a joyous ending to Farah's tale...

"Thank you, thank you all for finding my daughters dog," posted Karla Davis Lyons on Facebook. "She is such a huge part of our family. It has been a three-month journey. Our hearts are full."

Feel Good Friday: Colorado Police Drone Finds Lost Dog

15 January 2022
The United States House of Representatives has passed the Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant Act.
Today, U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) advocated for the Senate to pass the bipartisan legislation during an Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW) hearing Wednesday.
&ldquo;One of the reasons I&rsquo;m championing this legislation is because the Arkansas Department of Transportation has really embraced the use of drones to augment human inspectors and spot flaws,&rdquo;&nbsp;says Boozman.&nbsp;
The&nbsp;Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant Act&nbsp;would authorize $100 million in competitive grants to use American-made drones to perform critical infrastructure inspection, maintenance or construction projects. This bipartisan bill would also authorize $100 million in grants for workforce training and education to prepare the next generation of workers in this field. It was introduced by Boozman and Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT).

<h5>Senator Boozman's Column on Drones and Infrastructure</h5>
"Arkansas businesses are realizing the benefits of using drones and implementing this advanced technology in their operations. It&rsquo;s improving efficiency and safety for us all and I&rsquo;m championing efforts to build on this momentum," wrote Boozman on his website.
"The agricultural industry is also expanding its use of this innovative technology. I&rsquo;ve seen firsthand how students at Arkansas State University are using drones to study water use in fields and weed suppression. The University of Arkansas-Monticello College of Forestry, Agriculture and Natural Resources is using a drone for forestry studies.&nbsp;
"Entergy Arkansas is strengthening the electrical grid with its three-person drone team that works to detect problems with the hundreds of miles of power lines to prevent issues that could cause outages. Drones allow the company to inspect lines at hard-to-reach locations in a fraction of the time and for a much lower cost.&nbsp;
"Since May 2021, the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) has embraced the use of drones to augment human inspectors and spot flaws and structural issues on bridges, railways and other infrastructure projects. After the shutdown of the I-40 bridge connecting Arkansas to Tennessee last year, ARDOT increased its drone capabilities and now it boasts one of the most expansive programs in the country.&nbsp;
"Congress is recognizing the unique opportunities available with this technology and supporting this new approach to empower more communities to use this innovative tool to improve safety and save taxpayer dollars.&nbsp;
"I recently helped introduce the Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant (DIIG) Act.&nbsp;This bipartisan legislation supports community investments in American-made drones and the next generation workforce to operate these tools.&nbsp;
"This legislation will help local governments save money. According to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, it costs $4,600 to conduct a manual inspection on each bridge. In comparison, using a drone drastically cuts down on the cost and saves more than $3,000 per bridge. The implementation of drone inspections for bridges would save roughly $783 million nationwide.
"In addition to saving money, we know using a drone also saves time. While it takes about eight hours to conduct a manual bridge inspection, a drone inspection on the same infrastructure takes about one hour.&nbsp;
"It&rsquo;s no surprise this legislation is gaining backing from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, industry leaders and local governments across the country. This is a positive step forward in creating a better inspection process and training drone pilots.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"As we continue to work on issues facing our country, I&rsquo;m committed to giving our state and local governments the resources they need to maintain safe and reliable roads, bridges, dams and other critical infrastructure.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"In Arkansas, we&rsquo;re investing in modernizing our capabilities and developing a workforce to operate these cutting-edge tools. In recent days, the Arkansas and Oklahoma Governors launched a partnership to leverage the region as the national hub for advanced mobility which includes drones and the development of a workforce to pilot them.
"Using this advanced technology will help ensure our infrastructure, electrical grid and agricultural industry remain strong."

<h5>More Intel on the Bill</h5>
From Representative Greg Stanton's website&mdash;In September 2021, Representatives Greg Stanton and Garret Graves of Louisiana introduced a bipartisan bill to authorize $100 million in grants for state, local, and tribal governments to use drone technology to visually inspect infrastructure, as well as another $100 million to train employees to properly use the drones.
Using drones to conduct inspections in hard-to-reach places would save local governments significant money and speed up the inspection process. Many state departments of transportation, Tribes, and municipalities already use drones to enhance human inspections of critical infrastructure like bridges, roads, dams, and electric substations, identifying and rectifying issues at the earliest possible stage. The Arizona Department of Transportation has used drones to help its engineering staff inspect bridges and perform surveying work along state highways since 2018. Drones are also used to improve access and safety after natural disasters, like wildfires and hurricanes, and to determine the extent of damage.
&ldquo;Drones are a common-sense tool to inspect some of the toughest to reach parts of our infrastructure,&rdquo; said&nbsp;Stanton. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s safer, speedier and more sustainable. These grants will go a long way to help state, local and tribal governments invest in this cutting-edge technology and better care for aging infrastructure.&rdquo;
H.R. 5315, the Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant Act would:
<ul>
<li>Authorize $100 million in grants through the Department of Transportation to state, tribal and municipal agencies to purchase, contract for services, or develop program management capability for small-unmanned aircraft systems made by U.S. companies to perform critical infrastructure inspection, maintenance, rehabilitation, or construction projects. The federal share would be limited to 80 percent of the project cost in most instances.</li>
<li>Authorize $100 million in grants for workforce training and education at institutions of higher education (including community colleges) authorized by Sections 631and 632 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (49 USC 40101 note), positioning current and future workers to capitalize on the fast-growing drone economy, and helping to cultivate a diverse workforce. To date, 41 institutions have been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration as UAS-Collegiate Training Initiative Schools, including Yavapai College in Prescott, AZ.</li>
</ul>
&ldquo;The National League of Cities applauds the bipartisan leadership of Rep. Stanton (AZ) and Rep. Graves (LA) as they introduce the Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant Act,&rdquo; said&nbsp;Clarence E. Anthony, CEO and Executive Director of the National League of Cities. "Cities and towns have embraced drones as a new technology tool for tough tasks like inspecting over the railing of bridges and are eager to train and prepare a new workforce that is ready with the skills to serve their communities.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Drone technology has the potential to save lives and help preserve essential infrastructure. This bill would provide much needed funding for drone infrastructure inspection equipment and education and training at the state and local levels. This will not only help states aviation agencies acquire drone technology to safely inspect critical infrastructure, but also bolster the workforce needed to manage it, and improve public safety. State aviation leaders appreciate the leadership of Representatives Greg Stanton and Garret Graves in introducing this legislation,&rdquo; said&nbsp;Greg Pecoraro, President and CEO of the National Association of State Aviation Officials.
&ldquo;Commercial drones have amazing safety, efficiency and environmental benefits. By expanding the use of drones to inspect America's aging and decaying infrastructure, and by positioning current and future workers to capitalize on the fast-growing drone economy, the DIIG Act promotes worker safety, protects the environment, and increases efficiencies. The Commercial Drone Alliance appreciates the leadership of Rep. Stanton and Rep. Graves in introducing the DIIG Act to enable the American public to realize the many benefits of commercial drones,&rdquo; said&nbsp;Lisa Ellman, Executive Director of the Commercial Drone Alliance.
&ldquo;This bill seeks to provide state and local governments with infrastructure inspection equipment and with resources to prepare and train our workforce. Investing in new technologies is a critical step in continuing to strengthen our economy and grow our workforce.&rdquo;&nbsp;Jim Tymon, Executive Director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
&ldquo;This bill promises federal support for tribal governments like the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma as we address safety inspection concerns with the thousands of miles of utility infrastructure that crisscross include our 11,000 square mile Reservation in southeastern Oklahoma,&rdquo; said&nbsp;Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Chief Gary Batton. &ldquo;The Choctaw Nation is a leader in testing and adopting emerging aviation technologies, including small drones, and like other governments we are actively deploying drone technologies that serve our diverse regulatory responsibilities. The Choctaw Nation is grateful to Congressmen Stanton and Graves for advocating for this much-needed grant program that we hope will help us expand our drone operations, and we urge Congress to quickly enact and fund the Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant Act of 2021.&rdquo;
The infrastructure crisis is also an inspection crisis. Nearly half of America&rsquo;s bridges are more than 50 years old, and other infrastructure is aging quickly. American workers must have safe, effective, and climate-friendly methods to inspect aging and decaying infrastructure. But traditional inspection methods&mdash;dependent on heavy machinery&mdash;are often dangerous, time consuming, expensive, and bad for the environment. That is part of the reason why an inspection and maintenance backlog persists.
Benefits of using drones include:
<ul>
<li>Improved worker safety: Drones significantly reduce risks for workers. According to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, &ldquo;drones can perform hazardous inspections and maintenance scans, much more quickly and with greater ease, lessening the perils on the American worker.&rdquo;</li>
<li>Reduced carbon emissions: Small drones are electric and offer extraordinary climate benefits. The snooper trucks used to inspect bridges, for example, often get less than 5 miles per gallon. Using drones to supplement the inspection of only a small subset of America&rsquo;s bridges would be equivalent to removing thousands of cars from the road.</li>
<li>Greater efficiencies and reduced costs: Drones augment human inspectors, saving time and allowing them to create digital twins to track changes and damage over time. One state DOT expects to save almost $1.7 million over four years by using drones to help workers inspect bridges. Drones represent a 2x cost savings over traditional methods.</li>
</ul>

14 September 2022
As the drone industry has evolved and expanded all around the globe, it has become a full-time job to track and forecast all the key information about its development. And that is what <a href="https://droneii.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Drone Industry Insights</a> (Droneii) built its foundations on and specializes in.
Our market research and consulting business is focused exclusively on the market for commercial drones, and our headquarters in Hamburg, Germany allows us to work with everyone from Tokyo, Japan to Los Angeles, California in our average workday.
All of this is precisely what has made our consulting projects a unique service and contribution to the drone industry, so here is a glimpse into what it is like to do market research on commercial drones and what a consulting project in this field looks like.
<h5>Market Research on Commercial Drones</h5>
One of the things that makes this industry so exciting is its niche. Working at the intersection between robotics and aviation means being at the cutting edge of technology, while also still taking every precaution to ensure human safety. Though many in the general public have only heard of drones as either small toys or military weapons, there are thousands of companies around the world doing business, facilitating processes, and optimizing workflows through drones. So, the combination of evolving technologies (e.g. better lenses, stronger batteries) and unique applications (e.g. scanning fields and structures or delivering objects) makes this a highly-dynamic market that is synonymous with innovation.
For this reason, succeeding in this market requires both expertise and a strong network. You need technical expertise in aviation and/or robotics to understand what is and isn&rsquo;t feasible (or allowed), and you need a network of experts to stay on top of how drones are being used for business all around the globe.
This is what Drone Industry Insights has been doing since its beginning in 2015. Our founders both have a background and long history in aviation, and they developed contacts within the drone industry from the early days of drone technology. So, as the industry has evolved, we have been able to create and update our databases with the information necessary to stay on top of the latest developments. And this leads to another crucial aspect of Droneii&rsquo;s methodology: Having a bottom-up approach.
It is impossible to do market research and truly understand the drone industry by looking exclusively or even primarily at broad global market numbers. This is, of course, something we provide in our <a href="https://droneii.com/product/drone-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">market reports</a>, but our numbers are derived bottom-up rather than top-down.
Instead of starting at the top with total global or regional addressable markets and working under those assumptions, our approach uses different sources from the bottom as a basic foundation. This means we see what companies are actually doing in terms of application methods, target industries, and revenue, and we use this to build up various forecasts of the serviceable market of each industry vertical, country and region.
We also look at what is happening with <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://droneii.com/product/commercial-drone-regulation-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regulation in each country</a> as well as <a href="https://droneii.com/product/drone-investment-database-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investments</a> and even <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://droneii.com/product/drone-service-providers-ranking" target="_blank" rel="noopener">individual companies</a> or rising technologies. This is what we then use to create a forecast for where the commercial market may be headed, and we revise and update this information throughout the year, every year.

<h5>Consulting Projects for Commercial Drones</h5>
This leads directly to our <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://droneii.com/drone-consulting-for-business-development" target="_blank" rel="noopener">consulting</a> work, where someone reaches out to us in search of specific information about some part of the market or about a company they are looking to invest in. Ideally, the company or individual reaching out to us knows exactly what information they seek as well as what they want to do with it, but of course there are plenty of times when there&rsquo;s a need to discuss and help our clients figure out exactly what they need to help their business. In the end, the core aspect of this service is actionable data.
What exactly is this actionable data that the consulting projects yield? The simplest explanation boils down to context: the data that from a consulting project needs to be put into context to solve the clients&rsquo; problem. Sometimes this problem is finding competitors or profitability to determine if market entry or a particular business model is indeed worthwhile. Other times, the problem is deciding whether to invest in a [drone] company (due-diligence) or for a drone company to build their portfolio before seeking investments, strengthen their pitch decks, revise their business plans etc.
Among the various components of actionable data is the well-known SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Analysis. This analysis is a good way to place the focus point of project into a larger context, and it requires a deep understanding of both the individual and the bigger picture. It&rsquo;s impossible to determine a strength or weakness if you don&rsquo;t understand how a company compares to others on the market. And this is precisely what brings us back to the need for both expertise and a network. Both of these are indispensable for placing the individual company into a context that highlights its strengths and weaknesses when compared to others on the market, but especially the opportunities and threats for its business model.

<h5>Sample Consulting Projects</h5>
One type of consulting project that has gained traction and is particularly interesting are the <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://droneii.com/drone-market-studies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">country market studies</a>. Over the past few years, we have carried out a bespoke market study on the <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.verband-unbemannte-luftfahrt.de/analyse-des-deutschen-drohnenmarktes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">German drone market</a> (twice), the <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://droneindustry.ch/swiss-drone-industry-report-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Swiss drone market</a>, and the upcoming Norwegian drone market. During these projects, we have been approached by drone associations of the respective countries, who then acquired the funding to finance the project after we had agreed on a scope, budget, and timing. We then carry out a survey, conduct interviews, analyze results, and combine it with our proprietary data that we had on that country. All of this goes back to our bottom-up approach, which ensures that we hear directly from drone companies as much as possible while also factoring in regional and global market trends.
It&rsquo;s crucial to note that there really aren&rsquo;t good alternatives for this type of in-depth research. Someone might be tempted to carry out basic market research on these countries by taking data about the global drone market, extrapolating some info (such as the CAGR, etc) and using some sort of generic metric like GDP to single out a country from the overall data. But this method would not factor in any nuances of specific countries or their individual drone market developments, nor would it really be accurate. In the end this non-professional method brings much more harm than benefit and it can be very costly not only in terms of credibility, but also financially (if decisions are made from this data), so we strongly advise against it.
Another common type of consulting project is for example our work for Quantum Systems. Drone Industry Insights supported the investors of Quantum Systems in several investment rounds by providing commercial due diligence. The project provided crucial intel about the drone environment alongside an assessment of the company&rsquo;s portfolio and a risk assessment. This resulted in a clear analysis of the company&rsquo;s market potential, which included the aforementioned SWOT analysis that was complemented by a competitive analysis between Quantum Systems and big market players as well as other types of competitors and challenges. Today the company has raised more than US$40 Million, most-recently with an extended <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.quantum-systems.com/2022/06/08/series-a-funding-rounds-completed-bayern-kapital-invests-in-quantum-systems/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Series-A of US$32 million</a> and is today one of the leading VTOL-fixed-wing manufacturers in the world.
<h5>The Drone Market and its Future</h5>
Based on our most recent market update, the global drone market is forecast to <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://droneii.com/product/drone-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">generate US$55.8 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%</a>. To some, this might seem like an easy or simple forecast to make, but there is a lot of work that goes behind that. On the one hand, tracking the effects of the pandemic as well as a slow-moving regulatory environment made us revise our figure for the CAGR from previous years (13.8% in 2020 and 9.4% in 2021). On the other hand, a Google search can show that some project the market to grow at a CAGR of anywhere between 28.6% and 57.5%, which is either extremely optimistic or it assumes the global drone market is much smaller than it actually is (and therefore even moderate growth would translate into such large percentages). So these simple-looking market numbers require good data as a foundation and solid market models to forecast growth. It is not simply a matter of placing a bet, hoping you are right, and risking your entire business if you are not.
As if the market data were not enough, there is a lot of activity happening every year around the world in terms of drone regulation and investments. Both of these have a strong impact on market models and the pace at which the industry can grow. In particular, the topic of investments brings us full-circle back to the consulting work that we do. The drone industry is still <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://droneii.com/project/drone-industry-barometer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">very startup-driven</a>, and it costs considerable money for companies to hire engineers, buy and develop robotic parts, test their products and market their USP to the right audience. Many companies need substantial investments to achieve this, but not every company has the same market potential and not every country&rsquo;s market offers the same opportunities. That is why it is becoming increasingly more important for investors to perform due diligence before deciding how much money to put into which companies. It benefits the investors, it helps the right companies, and it drives the global industry forward.
