Canada’s industry ministry has invited a second round of project proposals under a broad new research and development program intended to bridge the gap between laboratory testing and product development in fields spanning civil aerospace, defense, space and security. The initial call under Industry Canada’s Technology Demonstration Program (TDP) was issued with its launch in September. Proposals are due by April 14, and the first projects to qualify for 50% funding support from the federal government will be announced in the fall.
A wide range of industry associations are calling on the FAA to expedite regulations governing small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS), and to allow their limited commercial use before final rulemaking is completed. The organizations are concerned the years-long delay in release of the FAA’s SUAS notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), now not expected until late this year, is holding back U.S. industry and encouraging entrepreneurs to operate in the absence of safety guidelines.
