ORLANDO—The FAA is working to approve limited commercial operations by unmanned aircraft in specific applications, such as crop spraying, that pose a low risk to those on the ground. Four industries have approached the agency about using legislation in the 2012 FAA reauthorization act to get an exemption to the ban on civil UAS, says Jim Williams, UAS integration office manager.
ORLANDO, Fla.—Legal wrangling over the commercial use of unmanned aircraft will end up before the U.S. Supreme Court and most likely involve the use of UAS for news gathering, a law expert told the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International show here yesterday. “There will be a UAS case in front of the Supreme Court and it will be a First Amendment case,” says Doug Marshall, division manager for UAS regulatory and standards development at New Mexico State University.
