Session: BVLOS Operations on a Truly Global Scale Through Innovation & Regulation
Time: 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM (Pacific)
Room: 25 A/B
Description: Widespread use of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) has been hindered by the lack of terrestrial connectivity in rural and remote areas. Contemporary satellite communications solutions can turbocharge adoption. Cost-effectively scaling drone use will require an environment wherein remote pilots can control and monitor multiple aircraft simultaneously through Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. This panel of experts will discuss the operation for BVLOS and scalability for a global audience, including the challenges, opportunities, and solutions that result from true innovation, partnership, and regulation.
