TRANSCRIPT

Existing drone regulations were written for conventional manual drones, but the advent of trustworthy autonomy enables new modes of operation and regulatory approaches. As a result, the FAA and global regulators are issuing path-breaking waivers that allow missions beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), even without the traditional requirements of visual observers and expensive ground-based radars.

Join Jenn Player, Director of Regulatory Affairs, and Jakee Stoltz, Senior Regulatory Programs Manager, to discuss how Skydio autonomous drones are unlocking advanced operations from the ground up, and making uncrewed missions safer and more effective than ever. Jenn will explain how Skydio is uniquely positioned to help organizations like Chula Vista Police Department, North Carolina Department of Transportation, Dominion Energy, and BNSF Railway achieve extraordinary regulatory waivers for BVLOS operations leveraging the power of Skydio Autonomy. Join this webinar to learn how Skydio can support your organization with regulatory matters and obtain waivers as these customers did.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss:

How autonomous drones make uncrewed missions safer and more effective
How Skydio is enabling regulatory breakthroughs that make drones more useful than ever
How you can partner with Skydio to secure advanced regulatory waivers
