First up, Senate Bill 1249 in Congress proposes to change how navigable airspace is defined, and would give the first 200 feet above the ground to states and private property owners.This bill also gives mandatory standoff distances from structures, including 200' laterally and 50 feet over the top of structures. Sadly, this is not a new idea. 5 years, we spent a significant amount of time fighting something similar proposed by the Uniform Law Commission (or ULC) proposed the same before being shut down.This is obviously a terrible idea and is proposed by a US Senator Mike Lee from Utah, who has a history of proposing bills that would severely limit UAS operations.Please reach out to your senators and representatives, as this affects ALL UAS operators, including drones, model airplanes, FPV, and helicopters.Next up this week, some news for recreational flyers who fly at the Academy of Model Aeronautics, or AMA, club sites. The AMA announced they've secured a National Authorization that allows members flying at designated club sites within Class G airspace to operate above the standard 400-foot Above Ground Level, or AGL, limit for routine flying. Depending on the specific site's location and assessment within Class G, the new authorized altitude limit could be up to 700 feet AGL, or even 1,200 feet AGL. Third up, DJI has expanded its enterprise payload lineup with two new accessories aimed at public safety and inspection users. They've launched the Zenmuse S1 Spotlight and the Zenmuse V1 Speaker. The S1 Spotlight is designed for the Matrice 300 RTK and Matrice 350 RTK platforms. It's a high-intensity light source with an effective illumination range of up to 150 meters, or about 492 feet. It features adjustable brightness levels and can synchronize its angle with the gimbal's pitch movements, keeping the light focused where the camera is looking, which is pretty neat. Then there's the Zenmuse V1 Speaker, which is compatible with the Matrice 300 and 350 series drones. This isn't your average Bluetooth speaker; it boasts a maximum volume of 120 decibels and an effective range of about 100 meters, or 328 feet, at a more typical 75 decibels. It supports text-to-speech conversion, audio storage, and real-time playback, making it useful for broadcasting instructions or warnings during emergencies. These kinds of accessories really enhance the utility of these enterprise platforms for first responders and inspection teams.And finally this week, ParaZero, known for their drone safety systems, has launched the SafeAir M4 parachute recovery system, specifically designed for the DJI Matrice 4 series drones. ParaZero's Press release says the SafeAir M4 meets the requirements of the ASTM F3322-22 standard for parachutes used in Operations Over People, or OOP. https://dronexl.co/2025/04/16/dji-launches-zenmuse-s1-spotlight-and-zenmuse-v1-speaker-for-enterprise-drones/https://dronexl.co/2025/04/15/parazero-launches-safeair-m4-drone-parachute-system/https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1249/text/is?format=txt&overview=closedhttps://amablog.modelaircraft.org/amagov/2025/04/15/flying-sites-in-class-g-airspace-granted-higher-altitudes/?_gl=1*1uaan0o*_gcl_au*NzU5NzI5MTc0LjE3NDQ5MDM2MzA.&_ga=2.207238160.221137029.1744903630-1851979334.1744903630

What Role Can Autonomous Drones Play in Major Cities? Ran Krauss is CEO and Co-Founder of Airobotics, a global leader in fully automated industrial drones. The company has developed a pilotless drone solution, the first of its kind in the global market. Its industrial grade platform is available on-site and on-demand, enabling industrial facilities to access premium aerial data in a faster, safer, more efficient way.  In May, the company received the world’s first approval to fly over a major metropolis. The Home Team Science and Technology Agency of Singapore will use Airobotic’s cutting edge drone technology to augment Singapore’s Police Force by providing real-time aerial data delivered by automated drone technology. Ran is a leader and an influencer in the drone industry, working at the intersection of robotics, practical aviation and drone flight. He is the first licensed commercial UAV pilot in Israel, having assisted the Civil Aviation Authority in Israel to establish regulation for commercial UAV operation. Ran previously co-founded two successful drone companies: ParaZero, which builds ballistic parachutes for drones, and Bladeworx, the first company to receive a commercial UAS operator license from the Israeli Civil Aviation Authority.  In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Ran talks about Airobotics, the opportunity that autonomous drone solutions deliver and the challenges of providing such solutions in urban environments.

DJI News - DJI announces steps to assuage data security concerns, Police Drones - Canadian Police builds a 200 drone fleet, Parachute Safety Systems - Glitches in Parazero? Our first big drone news story this week is about the steps that DJI is taking to assuage data security concerns. As we have reported earlier, the US government has time and again expressed reservations about using Chinese-manufactured drones for government work. To address these concerns, DJI  will now manufacture "government-edition" drones that come with features like restricted hardware pairing and data transmission. Furthermore, DJI has also announced that they will start manufacturing drones in California. Will these steps help DJI regain lost ground to find favor with the US government once again? Or, is this a case of too little, too late? Our next big drone news story is about parachute safety systems. Parachute safety systems are deployed so that you can prevent damage to people and property in the event of a drone crash. However, according to recent reports, these safety systems are not free of glitches. You will learn about ParaZero Drone Safety Systems and the different precautions that you need to take while using this system. Towards the end, we talk about drones being used for bridge inspections in South Carolina. What are some of the main benefits of using drones for inspection work? Other topics discussed include drone laws in Switzerland and drones for public safety. Tune in to our latest show now! Recently crashed your drone?

In this episode of Sara and Josh Talk about Drones, Wiley attorneys Sara Baxenberg and Josh Turner sit down with Avi Lozowick, Vice President of Policy & Strategy at ParaZero, to discuss the concept of drone parachutes as a safety mitigation that is shaping the future of expanded operations. Sara, Josh, and Avi discuss Parazero’s latest waiver success, its participation in the IPP, and a number of UAS policy issues, including the FAA’s flights over people Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).

Episode #8 interviews retired Israeli Air Force Brigadier General Eden Attias, CEO of ParaZero - who discusses parachutes and other technologies as mitigation measures for drones that must fly over people.

Drone surveillance systems for your home, around your yacht, and at maritime ports. Also, Intel inspects bridges with drones, a drone down under flies over an Airport, and a former FAA Administrator finds a home with drones. The "Bee" drone surveillance system. Courtesy Sunflower Labs. UAV News Sunflower Labs is building a drone surveillance system for high-end homes Sunflower Labs is developing an outdoor home security system with three components: an autonomous drone with a camera called the “Bee,” sensors that also light up the area called “Sunflowers,” and a self-charging station for the done called the “Hive.” The Sunflowers identify people, cars, and animals and determine speed and direction of approach. The Bee flies autonomously to the scene, guided by the Sunflower sensors, and streams live video. When the Bee is done, it returns to the Hive which recharges the drone, protects it from the weather, and houses the system's computer. Port of Amsterdam trials GPS-based UAV monitoring system Martek Anti-Drone Systems is providing its M.A.D.S. (Marine Anti-Drone System) in a 4-week trial at the Port of Amsterdam. Port customers are looking at their own legitimate drone operations but there is also the opportunity for illegal drone operations. The Port wants to find out who is flying what, where, and why. Martek also markets its system to yacht owners. When a threat is detected, M.A.D.S. creates an electronic exclusion zone around the yacht. If a drone enters, the system blocks the drone's control/video communications signal, which initiates the drone's fail-safe mode to land or returns to its operator. Intel Collaborates with Two Departments of Transportation for UAS Bridge Inspections Intel's Falcon 8+ drone hardware and software were used for bridge inspections and the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge over the Ohio River connecting Ohio and Kentucky, and the Stone Arch Bridge in Minnesota, a pedestrian and bicycle bridge. The 8-lane Daniel Carter Beard Bridge would normally experience lane closures for the inspection. With inspection by drone, this was not required. Inspection hours at the Stone Arch Bridge was reduced by 28 percent, at a cost savings of about 40 percent. Video: Intel Commercial Drones Speed Up US Bridge Inspections. https://youtu.be/IqwXI67PSIE Hunt after drone flies near plane at Perth Airport A drone was spotted flying over Perth Airport, first by a pilot in a plane taking off and then by an airport worker. Air traffic control alerted all pilots and the Federal Police and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority were notified. Neither the drone nor the operator has been found. Mr. Michael Huerta, Former USA FAA Administrator, has Joined ParaZero's Advisory Board Huerta is now on the Advisory Board at ParaZero, the drone parachute system we talked about in Episode #262. Mentioned The UAV Digest will be attending the 4th Annual FAA Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Symposium, February 12-14, 2019 at the Baltimore Convention Center. The FAA, industry, academia and other government agencies will discuss the latest topics related to the growing use of UAS and its integration into the national airspace. Registration for the 2019 event is now open.

With drones growing in popularity for recreational and commercial applications, and Australia one of the leaders in utilising the technology in defence industry, the concept of drone safety both in order to protect the machine and also those on the ground is an important consideration. In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Eden Attias, the managing director of ParaZero, a leading drone safety system manufacturer that specialises in drone safety throughout the production process and also offer retrofit options. Attias will unpack how his experience within the Israeli Ministry of Defence has aided his business growth, ParaZero's plans for Australian investment within their organisation and some of the biggest inhibitors facing drone technology within Australia.
