commercial use of drones is a billion dollar business. Also Telecom and air navigation want to profit. The joint undertaking to monitor the drone flights, and coordinate.

so-Called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAS) are allowed to be moved in Germany, in General, only if your Pilot has continuously in view.
While the siren grid is howling and the fire truck to the job site, is a helper already there. A drone buzzes over to the burning tank truck, exploring the location, taking a photo of the orange warning signs. Valuable Knowledge for the use of force: during the journey you can see the pictures. You will realize how dangerous is the liquid that is burning there and what you need to prepare.
The drone as a helper and advance flying eye. That sounds promising, it is already being developed, but it has a catch: the so-Called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAS) are allowed to be moved in Germany, in General, only if your Pilot has continuously in view.
drone flights over larger distances,
Here is the Deutsche Flugsicherung and the telecoms want to be hooking and drones are making flights not only in sight, but also over greater distances possible. The Problem here is that planes can’t capture the air traffic control via Radar, and drones but. They are too small and fly too low. So how is an “air picture”, including drones, so that they can be monitored remotely?
The idea: drones to make a flying Smartphones, the continuously their position data via the cellular network to a Central spark. You will be equipped with a Modem and a mobile phone card.
Over the cellular connection can be sent from the ground data to the drone and are remotely controlled. Technically quite a challenge. The network coverage is in the air, but it is consistently good, promises Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Höttges, there are no trees or buildings are in the way: “If you are with a drone on the road, you have usually up to ten signals that you can access,” says Höttges.
