Drone TV Oslo, The Extended Cut

Patrick Egan

This extended episode contains interviews with some of the participants from the Unmanned Systems Conference Norway 2014. I interview Antimedia’s Daniell Ashby, Joachim Holland from HoverTech and Feye de Zwort, Dutch Drone Co. I also speak with Jarl Straume of Proxdynamics, which includes a flight demo of the Black Hornet Block 2 in the sunny skies of Oslo. We also hear commentary from Morten Raustein, CAA, Norway about their progressive regulation that includes provisions for commercial operations beyond visual line of sight.

An excellent overview of what is being done in a country that has common sense drone regulations. Thank you UAS Norway members for the opportunity to share with us the progress and potential of a thriving commercial unmanned systems ecosystem.
