India Proposes National System to Manage Expanding Drone Flights
India is planning a new system to manage drone flights.
The system would help organize drones flying close to the ground.
It would focus especially on flights below 1,000 feet.
Many industries are using drones for jobs such as delivering goods and checking farms or infrastructure.
Drones are also used for surveillance, emergency help and mapping.
As more drones take to the skies, they may need to be coordinated.
The proposed system is intended to make these flights easier to regulate.
The article does not say when the system will begin operating.
India is preparing a proposed National Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management System.
The system would regulate and coordinate drone operations in low-altitude airspace.
It would particularly manage flights below 1,000 feet.
Drones are increasingly used for logistics, agriculture, inspections, surveillance, emergency response and mapping.
The initiative responds to challenges from increasingly crowded skies as commercial drone use expands.
