The Israeli pilot program for the delivery of drones has now demonstrated civil drone flights in non-GPS environments using camera-based visual navigation. “The successful test will pave the way for an autonomous drone delivery in Israel,” said a press release.
The technology for autonomous drone flight is available: as is the technology for safe flight out of line of sight (BVLOS). However, in order to put all the pieces together, the parties involved must consider all the possibilities and the GPS signal will interfere with one of them. “This type of disruption can come from a variety of sources, including enemies trying to disrupt a military mission, people using it for their own purposes, satellite malfunctions, and even solar flares,” the news release said.
The possibility of an interruption makes it important for the drone industry to demonstrate other navigation methods. “A first global test of civilian drone flights in environments without GPS was successfully carried out in Israel in a special drone test zone in Yeruham, in which safe navigation solutions for the drone flight Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) were presented,” said the announcement .

Defend the lease
Kreidler’s testimony said he was one of the few people gathered in late January and early February 2018 by Stenger’s Chief of Staff Bill Miller to determine the “source and validity” of the government’s claim that the lease was $ 10 million cheaper than the county had paid at other locations.
