The congress moves to extend the use of civilian drones with approvals fueled by the AI

First on Fox: A new Congress decision would trigger the use of civilian drones through the American sky by establishing rules to allow them to be advanced beyond the user’s view line and using AI for approval.

Under the current law, many drones cannot fly beyond the visual line of view (BVLOS) without renunciation-a massive obstacle to emergency inspection, agriculture, deliveries and infrastructure, according to representative Jen Kiggans, R-VA.

Its Lift Act, introduced into the room on Thursday, would have forced the transport secretary Sean Duffy To establish performance and security standards defined for BVLOS operations and examine current aviation standards, which have been designed with planes inhabited in mind.

The transport secretary should also deploy artificial intelligence to help treat derogation applications to allow civil drones to pilot BVLOS.

Industry operators have long been pressure for BVLOS’s new policy to replace the current system in which individuals must request derogations from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) thanks to an expensive and heavy process to fly beyond the line of view.

They say that this has delayed the large -scale implementation of drones to carry out tasks such as the inspection of electric lines and pipelines or medical supplies between the installations.

Kiggans told Fox News Digital that his reasoning for the introduction of legislation should stimulate the development of drones in the United States: “China built five times more drones than we do here in America.”

In March, Duffy said that new rules for expanding drone use for deliveries and other services would arrive “in relatively short time”.

Kiggans said she was also wondering when the new DOT directives will be published. She hopes that the lift law will exert pressure to act soon: “Sometimes, put this in writing, something from Congress, will somehow motivate them to do it.”

In addition, the bill establishes a new pilot program to provide grants to the governments of states and premises for drone programs, ensuring that they have participation in future air mobility systems and not only large private companies.

The bill aims to codify the parts of the transport of the executive decree of June 6 by President Donald Trump, releasing American domination of the drone.

With the creation of Bipartite Momentum around drone applications, Congress could soon decide whether the American sky is ready for a higher future. But the public remains frightened by a high -level commercial airplane accident in Washington, DC, earlier this year. Safety regulations will have to move with caution to take into account the expected increase in air traffic.

“There is certainly concern,” said Kiggans. “I am worried about our military aviation that we have in our district.”

“This is something that we have to regulate … but I think there is a way to coexist. There must be clear laws in place, and they must be educated to users and drone aviators.”
