Small businesses are driving the demand for commercial drone aircraft in the U.S. The federal government has taken first steps in rolling out drone regulations, and industry representatives came to Capitol Hill this week to argue that those rules need to be refined.
“Small businesses have a particular interest in drone technology because not only are they users of drones, but also manufacturers,” said Rep. Alma Adams (D-N.C.), ranking member of Committee on Small Business Subcommittee on Investigations, Oversight and Regulations, during a Sept. 27 hearing on the FAA’s new rules for Unmanned Aerial Systems.
