Shopping, Pizza and Medicines: India’s Drone Rules 2021 Acknowledge Role in the Global Drone Economy

drone Take two very different streams of perception. There is a rich children’s toy or enjoyment of those who can get their shopping and pizza delivered by unmanned flying vehicles. The second is one of opening doors to the type of utility and would otherwise not be possible, for example by roads or waterways. If we emerge from the narrow definitions in which drones seem to be wrapped, there are two sides to the coin that point to trump cards in different domains. From critical and precise interventions to agriculture over large areas, from delivering medicine across geographical boundaries to delivering goods with zero human contact. The versatility of drones is something India’s Drone Rules 2021 Accept and try to make things easy to increase their usage in India.

The Indian government’s Ministry of Civil Aviation has officially notified the rules following the draft policy released earlier this summer. NS new rules defined Ownership, drone usage and approval, weight classification, registration of existing drones, regional restrictions and airspace maps, remote pilot license as well as training organization for private and commercial drones in India, as well as Made in India technologies, design , a push for components, and unmanned aircraft systems as well as the Indian regional navigation satellite system. These regulations are taking cognizance of the fact that it has to be made easier for drones to be used, especially for business and community use, and also of India’s role and importance in the global drone economy.

“We expect that almost all sectors of the economy – agriculture, mining, infrastructure, surveillance, emergency response, transport, geospatial mapping, defense and law enforcement will benefit immensely from these regulations,” said Abhay, Director, IIT. Karandikar says. Kanpur. “A welcome step to take the Indian drone industry to new heights,” the Drone Federation of India said in a statement shared on social media.

The figures tell their own story. According to data released this summer by research firm ResearchAndMarkets, the Indian UAV drone market is expected to grow as large as $1.8 billion by the year 2026 with an annual growth of 14.61%. Earlier this month, a successful trial of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) for drone delivery of drugs was conducted by Throttle Aerospace Systems (TAS) and UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) in Bengaluru. The Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India, confirmed that the trial run was completed within a 15 km radius at Gauribidanur on the outskirts of Bengaluru.

The drones used for this test were the Medcopter X4 and the Medcopter X8. These have been developed by Indian drone company Throttle Aerospace Systems, which is based in Bengaluru. Stats- An average distance of 3.5 km was covered in a flight time of 7 minutes. Two different payloads were also tested, up to a maximum of 2 kg. The Medcopter X4 weighs around 3.5kg and can hold a payload of up to 1kg while the Medcopter X8 weighs around 5.5kg and can hold a payload of up to 2kg. According to the new rules, both these drones will be classified as small unmanned aircraft systems.

“Today, some of the most exciting potential applications come from the use of drones in health care and medical delivery. Drones are effectively delivering biological materials such as blood, serum, viral cultures, vaccines and organs in the fastest and safest way possible. Helping to save lakhs of lives,” Wing Commander S Vijay (Veteran) had earlier told News18 in an interaction. He added, “It is high time we think of a future where packages are available for hours or days. instead of within minutes.” A research report led by the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health indicated that drones in the medical field have the potential to improve vaccination rates and aid in various immunization programs organized globally.
