Summary:

BVLOS (beyond-visual-line-of-sight) refers to the operation of drones at distances beyond the operator's viewing range.

With BVLOS waivers, you can operate a drone manually, automatically, or autonomously without a pilot on-site.

Some of the many benefits include….
Fewer takeoff and landing stages leading to more cost-effective and productive flights.
Minimal human participation, some or all of the missions can be automated.
Easier and faster to get to isolated or dangerous areas.

Without BVLOS waivers, you cannot fly a drone unless there's a Part 107 pilot on-site who can see the drone.

In other words - if someone is sick or unable to go to work on-site for some reason, the drone can’t operate.

This is a bottleneck for unlocking the massive scale that automated security drone systems provide and one of the main reasons why a clear path to BVLOS matters. The benefits are certainly clear.

This is a complex subject, so let’s break down BVLOS and go into detail about the impact that these waivers have on the future of security.
