BVLOS stands for Beyond Visual Line of Sight. It refers to the operation of drones without the pilot maintaining visual contact with the aircraft.
Enabling BVLOS flights is crucial for various applications such as long-distance surveying, search and rescue missions, delivery services, and monitoring of infrastructure.
One of the main challenges of BVLOS operations is ensuring the safety and security of the airspace. Strict regulations are in place to govern BVLOS flights and prevent collisions with other aircraft.
Advancements in technology, such as detect-and-avoid systems and reliable communication links, are making BVLOS operations safer and more feasible.
The drone industry is continuously working on improving systems and regulations to expand the possibilities of BVLOS operations for more efficient and widespread drone use.
