…the visual line of sight (BVLOS). This makes it “impossible” for the drone-delivery industry to grow because somone must always monitor flights in the field, said IDTechEx. Countries such as Iceland have more permissive regulations. But this is because such countries are sparsely populated and therefore there are fewer commercial opportunities, the report noted. Some countries and regions have approved…

…particularly for beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) and autonomous operations. Due to the weak and vulnerable nature of the GNSS signal, it is extremely susceptible to jamming attacks that can currently be carried out over large distances with a $50 jammer bought online, said the partners. UAV developers or end users try to solve this problem by creating “safe landing protocols”…
