Simply put, safety and drones go hand-in-hand. You cannot have one without the other. As the drone industry becomes more sophisticated and drone technology is more accepted and adopted into both commercial and every-day life, safety must hold the utmost importance.
According to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) as of June 15, 2021, there were a total of 870,382 drones registered with the following breakdown:
358,137 Commercial drones
508.758 Recreational drones
3,487 Paper registrations
And 232,536 certified remote pilots.
These numbers are only expected to continue to exponentially grow as more and more companies implement drone equipment into their every-day operations.
While companies are quickly scaling their drone operations, their safety protocols and procedures must follow suite. Partners for both scaling drone operations and safety can quickly turn from an added benefit to a hardened necessity.
