New FAA Rule for UAVs Creates Significant GNSS Market

摘要

The Federal Aviation Administration released its final Remote Identification (RID) Rule for unmanned aircraft (UA). While GPS/GNSS has been used to advantage aboard many UAVs, this means that a sat-nav receiver will be mandated aboard all UAVs governed by the Rule that wish to fly in U.S. airspace. Thus a promising potential market opens up into a virtually "guaranteed"-and very significant-market for the GNSS industry. Editors at Inside Unmanned Systems, the sister publication of Inside GNSS, received an advance copy of the 499-page document. This story is excerpted from their first summary of the new Rule.
