Solar cells and batteries are needed to keep smaller drones and unmanned systems loitering in air for longer periods of time. Extended batteries allow for enhanced operations. The goal for researchers was to create higher efficiency, low mass, durable photovoltaic cells; specifically, excitonic solar cells. Researchers at China Lake have invented a new technology for increasing the efficiency and durability of solar cells by enhancing and trapping light absorbance. New portable power could include extending the range of electric powered drones or power for distributed sensors (security cameras), etc.

The Federal Aviation Administration is in the process of narrowing down a list of applications from state and local governments that want to be a part of the nationwide Unmanned Aerial Systems Integration Pilot Program. The three-year pilot program was launched last fall to solicit proposals for advanced UAS operations that will expand commercial UAS operations and help the FAA determine how to safely integrate drones into the U.S. airspace.

Behind the noisy aerobatic flight displays and lines of visitors ogling fighter jets and missiles on the tarmac, the future of aviation is on display in a cavernous exhibition hall at Asia's largest airshow. And it's drones.

In the area of autonomous platforms, unmanned aerial vehicles have become the most matured segment to-date as the military has quickly valued their abilities in surveillance and strike missions. But as for at sea and on land, the competitive landscape for vendors is largely still shaking itself out as they require more development to get to production, according to a new report posted Feb. 1 by Govini.

Drones or Unmanned Aerial Systems are used in Louisiana for coastal mapping and restoration, flood monitoring, wildlife surveys, crop management, law enforcement and oil-and-gas activities. Nationally, small drones registered with the Federal Aviation Administration exceeded one million last month, the U.S. Department of Transportation said. While most of those operators were recreational, 122,000 of them were commercial, public and other types, DOT said.

From Summit County to Denver's Central Business District, drones — frequently called unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs by industry professionals — are being put to work on construction sites across Colorado these days, part of a national trend as business owners get better acquainted with the devices' capabilities, the savings they can generate and the federal guidelines regulating them.

Kevin Moon, an aviation attorney and senior counsel for the Clyde & Co law firm in the San Francisco area, says that the increased use of unmanned aircraft systems will lead to increased privacy claims against government entities, private citizens and businesses.

On January 6th, Michael Huerta's five-year term as FAA Administrator came to an end. Several important milestones for the commercial drone industry occurred during his tenure, including the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, the establishment of the Drone Advisory Committee and the rollout of Part 107. Despite presiding over one of the most challenging and controversial times that the FAA has ever encountered, the agency nonetheless experienced an unprecedented safety record during his term, with no fatalities on U.S.-regulated passenger carriers.
