Financial Sector Mobilizes Drone/UAS Industry to Adopt New Oversight Model In the light of recent issues surrounding the status/legality of various regulatory models overseeing the Unmanned Vehicle industry, it was only a matter of time before new regulatory models were put forth by industry players. ADS Infrastructure Partners ("ADS") has announced that it will serve as a catalyst and lead a national campaign to help fund and establish a Drone/Unmanned Aircraft Systems Regulatory Association ("DURA") as a first step to unlock the full economic value of the sector. On June 6th, to kick off a national dialog on the topic, ADS hosted a round table meeting in Washington, D.C. that engaged thought leaders and stakeholders from aerospace and aviation, academia, Congress, government, and related industry organizations. The group shared ideas, explored and challenged assumptions, policy positions, and current practices.
