US proposes new rules to speed drone deployments (Reuters) -The U.S. Transportation Department on Tuesday is proposing new rules to speed deployment of drones beyond the visual line of sight of operators, a key change needed to advance commercial deployments like package deliveries. Under current rules, operators need to get individual waivers or exemptions to use drones without visual line of sight. The department said eliminating those requirements "will significantly expand the use-case for drone technologies in areas like: manufacturing, farming, energy production, filmmaking, and the movement of products including lifesaving medications." Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International CEO Michael Robbins praised the risk-based proposal as "a critical step toward enabling drone operations that will enhance safety, transform commercial services, and strengthen public safety with drones as a force multiplier."

U.S. proposes new rules to expand commercial drone operations Investing.com -- The U.S. Transportation Department proposed new rules on Tuesday to accelerate the deployment of drones beyond operators’ visual line of sight, a critical change needed to advance commercial applications such as package deliveries. Current regulations require drone operators to obtain individual waivers or exemptions to fly drones without maintaining visual contact. The department stated that removing these requirements would "significantly expand the use-case for drone technologies" across multiple industries including manufacturing, farming, energy production, filmmaking, and transportation of products like essential medications. The proposal introduces new requirements for manufacturers, operators, and drone traffic-management services to ensure drones remain safely separated from other drones and aircraft. Michael Robbins, CEO of the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International, endorsed the risk-based proposal, calling it "a critical step toward enabling drone operations that will enhance safety, transform commercial services, and strengthen public safety with drones as a force multiplier."
