This week on the InterDrone Podcast, we spoke about The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announcing $13.4 million in Title III investments as part of the CARES Act which was given to AirMap, ModalAI, Skydio, Graffiti Enterprises, and Obsidian Sensors, Canada proposing to allow low-risk BVLOS operations for large drones, a new campaign calling for a ban on the NYPD's use of drones, and much more.
