The use of drones in commercial applications has surged in recent years. Enabling drones to operate beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) unlocks their full potential, allowing them to cover much greater distances without the need for pilots or observers to maintain constant visual contact. This significantly improves the economics and efficiency of drone operations. In this presentation, we will explore the key technologies and safety requirements essential for developing a complete end-to-end BVLOS drone solution in Singapore. We will focus on a use case involving surveillance and monitoring, demonstrating how BVLOS drones can provide broader coverage over large and hard-to-reach areas, while reducing the need for physical and manual labor. This solution presents significant benefits for local agencies seeking to enhance their operational efficiency in remote monitoring tasks.
