They have Nationalized the UAS/Drone industry


They have nationalized the UAS/Drone industry

Right away after being asked to find content for a UAS/Drone reality show I have noticed that some people are having no problem getting authorization and others are not. I heard James Williams the Manager of the FAA’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integration Office  say “You can fly, it’s not illegal, you just have to follow the guidelines”  Then everyone is asking “What are these guidelines?” What I discovered it that those who submit for Certificates of Authorization and get approved are doing it on behalf of a government agency. If you want to get it funded either there has to be money from which ever government agency is sponsoring the COA or the private/commercial entity that desires the research has to fund it through which ever government agency that is sponsoring the COA. That in essence is Nationalization.
