CEA: UAS Could Reach 1M U.S. Flights a Day in 20 Years

摘要

The United States will reach one million unmanned aircraft systems flights per day within the next 20 years, given the right regulatory environment, according to economic research from the Consumer Electronics Association. Brian Markwalter, CEA senior vice president, shared the association's domestic UAS economic analysis at AUVSI Unmanned Systems 2015. "This is a billion-dollar technology market literally just waiting to take off," Markwalter said. "We see a dynamic market with tremendous growth potential, once we have final FAA rules to allow commercial UAS operation, combined with continued industry and FAA cooperation to achieve low-risk, beyond-line-of-sight flights."
