ParaZero’s Drone Safety System Tested in US

ParaZero Ltd  has participated in the successful testing of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for potential flight over people in controlled airspace. The testing was initiated by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to help it create new regulations that will enable the safe and secure integration of UAS into national airspace systems.

Held in Fargo, North Dakota, the tests were conducted by the state’s Department of Transportation (DOT) as part of its UAS integration pilot program (IPP), working in partnership with CNN, Botlink, Parazero and Northern Plains UAS Test Site.

‘Exposing the industry to our solution’

ParaZero’s chief executive officer Eden Attias said he was pleased to announce the successful completion of testing utilising ParaZero’s systems.

He said: “In UAS flight, safety is a critical issue, and ParaZero presented our drone safety system as one of the safety solutions enabling flight over groups of people.

“By participating in these IPPs, ParaZero is working with industry stakeholders to further UAS safety and exposing the industry to our solution.

“ParaZero will continue working with these partners to further the use of UAS safety solutions based on our systems and the use of UAS in everyday activities.”

Working towards national standard

The UAS pilot program was designed to explore ways to safely expand cutting-edge drone operations into the national airspace by pairing state, local and tribal governments with unmanned aircraft commercial operators.

Implementation of the IPP programs will lead to a nation-wide FAA regulated standard that will allow the use of drones in commercial activities and over populated areas.

In May, the US DOT selected the North Dakota DOT as one of 10 participants in the FAA’s program.

Bringing together all stakeholders

North Dakota’s DOT is working with Northern Plains UAS Test Site, along with other partners and stakeholders, to: provide operational efficiencies; create new opportunities; build industry to grow the economy; and reduce traffic fatalities and injuries.

The 3-year program gives state, local and tribal governments a chance to establish innovation zones for testing complex UAS operations.
