Divy Shrivastava, Founder and CEO of Paladin, joins us again on Stories from 400 Feet to talk about working with the Elizabeth Police Department in New Jersey to obtain one of the first Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) waivers in Class B airspace for a Drone as a First Responder (DFR) Program.
To provide some context on what this means: The FAA defines class B airspace as: "Generally, that airspace from the surface to 10,000 feet MSL (mean sea level) surrounding the nation's busiest airports in terms of IFR (instrumental flight rules) operations or passenger enplanements." This is among the riskiest and most congested parts of the National Airspace (NAS) to get a waiver here is a significant achievement for autonomous UAVs.
