So the current situation globally seems to be that the US has established itself as a broadly optimistic environment for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) commercial drone deregulation since the FAA BVLOS ARC report https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/rulemaking/committees/documents/media/UAS_BVLOS_ARC_FINAL_REPORT_03102022.pdf https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/rulemaking/committe... was released in March 2022. Many European, Israeli and other foreign drone companies are moving to the US to prove their concepts in this buoyant market. The individual approvals granted to specific operators to date seem to have allowed limited testing while maintaining controls and oversight. The general plan seems to be to enforce RemoteID (local broadcast of UAV ID, mission, ground station location, etc.) https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eoDownloadDocument?pubId=&eodoc=true&documentID=7280 https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eoDownloadDocument?pubId=&..., UAV and proposed flight path pre-registration with the local regulator plus a "well clear" avoidance zone around other UAVs. Once this is seen to work, commercial operations at scale can begin. There is an IETF DRIP standard being proposed allowing the develop of generic avionics to effect similar methods globally. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-drip-arch/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-drip-arch/ https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-drip-arch-31.html https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-drip-arch-31.html After trawling through 100s of "me balloon, you drone, balloon no like drone" comments, some of the 'better' articulated comments are https://downloads.regulations.gov/FAA-2023-1256-0061/attachment_1.pdf https://downloads.regulations.gov/FAA-2023-1256-0061/attachm... https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0011 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0011 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0014 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0014 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0022 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0022 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0006 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0006 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0018 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0018 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0015 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0015 https://downloads.regulations.gov/FAA-2023-1256-0036/attachment_1.pdf https://downloads.regulations.gov/FAA-2023-1256-0036/attachm... https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0005 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FAA-2023-1256-0005
