India will be the next destination for the drone revolution as the state Andhra Pradesh begins to undertake pilot trial the Advanced Drone Operators Toolkit.
The State Government of Andhra Pradesh announced at the World Economic Forum’s Davos Summit 2019, that it will start testing the policy frameworks developed in the newly released Advanced Drone Operators Toolkit to enable state-wide drone delivery operations.
Lokesh Nara, Minister for Information Technology and Rural Development in Andhra Pradesh, said: “Andhra Pradesh is proud to be the first government partner to implement the Advanced Drone Operations Toolkit. We look forward to leveraging the insights from the toolkit to implement a drone delivery programme that will bring key medical supplies to communities across our State.”
The open source guide from the World Economic Forum, the International Organisation for Public-Private Cooperation, was also launched at the Annual Meeting 2019 in Davos. It was developed after extensive collaboration with the governments of Rwanda, the government of Switzerland and leveraging the work of the Drone Innovator’s Network (DIN). It is the first user manual for governments looking to roll out the guide which is hoped to have a wider impact socially and advanced drone operations.
This open source collection of past experiences was designed to help governments overcome the hurdles of implementing drone regulations and accelerate access to airspace, while maintaining safety and security. It also includes specific steps for governments, interested in implementing similar programmes, to consider.
