This week on the InterDrone Podcast, we spoke about The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announcing $13.4 million in Title III investments as part of the CARES Act which was given to AirMap, ModalAI, Skydio, Graffiti Enterprises, and Obsidian Sensors, Canada proposing to allow low risk BVLOS operations for large drones, a new campaign calling for a ban on the NYPD’s use of drones, and much more.
