Rules for marking drones in Europe

What can I do if I don’t have a class ID? Grace period until 31 December 2022. In the future, drones will be provided with a so-called class identification label, which certifies what technical conditions the given device meets. Depending on the class identification label (CIL) of the device, it determines in which subcategories the operations within the “open” category can be performed. A drone can have multiple CILs, so they can be used in either two or, in some cases, in all three subcategories.

Radiation-proof drones at the Arab nuclear power plant

The United Arab Emirates has announced that it will use drones to support the Arab world’s only peaceful nuclear energy program, the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in Abu Dhabi. Falcon Eye Drones, a leading drone company in the Middle East, is working to strengthen the role of drones in increasing workplace safety, the primary reason being that these tools can significantly accelerate inspection activity. The goal is to produce clean electricity in the next 60 years.

The Romanian army would protect its objects from drones

The Romanian Ministry of Defense wants to get a legal authorization to dispose of “hostile” civilian drones that endanger military objects, the newspaper Adevarul said in its Thursday issue.

Testing drones in Israel

Perhaps, without exaggeration, Wednesday can be called a historic day from a drone perspective: an experimental drone transport system was put into operation in the airspace of an Israeli resort town, Hadera. According to the British news agency Reuters, on March 17, transporting drones swept the skies of the Mediterranean coastal town so that their – even coordinated – movement was controlled from a single control room.

Insect-sized drones

A group of researchers has developed a system that approaches the mobility of insects. Drones of the same size were developed with them, with excellent dexterity and resilience. As we can all experience in good weather, insects can be extremely acrobatic and resilient in flight. This feature helps them navigate the air, amidst all its gusts of wind, obstacles, and general uncertainty.
