Unmanned aerial systems, more popularly known as drones, have soared in popularity as they carry out various innovative commercial tasks. Transporting packages, capturing landscapes, broadcasting news, documenting wildlife, and even offering internet connectivity are just some of the capabilities drones can provide. The range of functions is likely to expand and become more diverse as drone utilization and technology progress. In the same way, reduced expenses and expanded options can turn drones into a prevalent business instrument across different industries, including retail, security, utility, environmental, education, and government.
Formulated by Scott Matteson for TechRepublic Premium, the aim of this policy is to establish standards for drone operation that define prerequisites, operational rules, and safety and security measures aimed at safeguarding the company, its staff, and the public.
Highlighted extract from the policy:
COMMERCIAL PURPOSES
Drone usage within the organization should be exclusively for commercial purposes, with exceptions for personal or company-owned drones engaged in demonstrations or training sessions on company premises that have received approval from the HR and IT departments (or relevant teams related to facilities, transportation, and outdoor activities).
Commercial purposes involve any business-related use, encompassing activities such as:
Marketing photos or videos captured by a UAS.
Utilizing UAS for contracted services like inspecting industrial equipment or factories.
Employing UAS for professional services such as security or telecommunications.
