Drone USA Announces a Reseller Partnership with Skyfire Consulting to Provide Certificates of Authorization and Waivers to Police, Fire and Emergency Services
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Drones–Drone USA, Inc. (OTC Markets: DRUS) (“Drone USA” or the “Company”), a
drone reseller, drone service provider and distributor of products to
the U.S. police and firemen, and the U.S. Government, announced a
reseller partnership with Atlanta-based Skyfire Consulting, a company
that specializes in assisting police, fire and private corporations with
filing Certificates of authorization and/or waivers with the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Michael Bannon, Drone USA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our
reseller partnership with Skyfire enables us to offer a necessary and
critical component of our everything drone strategy to our
customers. Through Skyfire, we possess the ability to help our customers
navigate the complex regulatory world of the FAA and file certificates
of authorization and/or waivers. A certificate of authorization allows
police, fire or organizations to operate their drones in restricted air
space (class B, C, D or E airspaces) for a specific time period (i.e.,
six months) without having to notify their local airport each time they
desire to perform a drone mission. We can also help our customers waive
certain aspects of the FAA part 107 regulations, such as flying at night
during a search and rescue operation, operating more than one drone at a
time, and operating drones near crowds. Without an authorization or
waivers, police would have to wait weeks for approval before operating
their drones. During search and rescue where life and death is at stake,
the police do not have weeks, they may only have hours. Both
authorizations and waivers are critical components to a viable drone
program.”
Paul Ouellette, Drone USA’s VP of Business Development and Sales
commented, “All departments will ultimately need waivers. For example, a
department performing search and rescue missions may need to fly at
night or in restricted airspace. That is not the same for certificates
of authorization. According to one of our police customers, departments
where 15% percent of the town’s airspace is restricted will need a
certificate of authorization. In Connecticut that is probably more than
half of the towns and most of the cities. Certificates of authorization
and waivers will prove an important part to any drone program. With our
friends at Skyfire we now offer this service inexpensively and
efficiently.”
