Cleared for Takeoff: FAA to Allow Commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations Later this Year
Client Alert | 1 min read | 07.30.13

Previous military use of the approved UAS helped facilitate FAA's action, which comes as an encouraging sign for aerospace manufacturers seeking new markets as well as other industries anticipating the emergence of civilian UAS, including agriculture, oil and gas exploration, law enforcement, and security.
