AUVSI is currently examining the 1205 page document which addresses a number of unmanned air vehicle operational and legal issues.

Schiebel’s CAMCOPTER S-100 UAS had the opportunity to show off a bit for an international audience with a flight display at the Red Bull Air Race in Wiener Neustadt, Austria.

Transport Canada has authorized Global UAV Technologies' wholly owned subsidiary Pioneer Aerial Surveys to conduct Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations with the NOVAerial Procyon 800E at the UAS test range located in Foremost, Alberta.
