UAV system operates over populated areas in Italy

摘要

In a move that could enable expanded international use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in military and civilian applications, the Italian Ministry of Defense has certified the AeroVironment Raven B small unmanned aerial vehicle system to operate over all populated areas in Italy.rnThe Italian certification process, which included verification of the Raven B's safety, reliability, and performance, could eventually serve as an example - and catalyst - for similar certification processes in other countries and regions.
