Business leaders are turning to drones to solve complex operational challenges.
On CBS news program “60 Minutes,” Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos very publicly declared his intentions to use unmanned aerial systems (UASs) to make deliveries. Leaders at GoPro are eager to use drones to help customers capture previously impossible angles. And businesses like Airware are breaking new ground with software to make drones useful for sectors ranging from mining to humanitarian work.
These aren’t the only businesspeople taking notice of drones. At the end of 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration granted just 12 business entities permission for commercial drone use. Fast-forward to today, and the FAA has issued UAS approvals for more than 1,700 commercial organizations.
