What was a Drone (circa 2014)?

• Lethal Killing Machine• Remote warfare• Unchecked Killings• Eyes in the sky sent to spy• Big Brother• For the consumer market:

Please don’t call it a drone!

What is it now?

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Optionally Manned Aircraft

Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)Quadcopter

Hexacopter

Remotely Piloted Aircraft

Drone First Person View (FPV)

Microcopter

Highly Regulated by the FAA

What do these have in common?

All require FAA registration

And these?


?


Drone or an airplane?

Optionally manned aircraftRequires N number


Hint: Trick question…


1. Handful of industries – commercial2. Most growth in commercial/civilian3. Legacy manufactures have “no

natural advantages”4. Significant work outside the US5. Easing of US airspace regulations

likely to happen in 20176. Technology barriers are both a

roadblock and a huge business opportunity

Market Forecast – Business Insider (May 2016)


• 4 million consumer drones sold worldwide 2015• DroneDeploy marks 3 million acres mapped• Physical “garage” startups thriving• Drone vendors starting to roll out direct drone to cloud interfaces

Too Big to Ignore?

• Agra scanning is happening today. Dusting imminent!• Cinematography is happening today!• Real estate imaging is happening today!• Roof inspections are happening today!• Infrastructure inspections are happening today!


Most involved in the industry today generally are…

Industry Makeup

1. Well versed in their specific domain (arga, real estate, utilities…)2. Learning drone pilotage3. Learning about shared airspace issues / FAA regulations

So, what’s missing?

Most have little to no large scale SW appdev or Big Data/cloud experienceInstead downloading to laptops and manually completing the process

1. Open source2. Internet3. Machine to Machine Interchange4. Personal Devices5. Enhanced Location Awareness6. Online and App Stores7. Cloud Computing8. Big Data / CEP / IoT …9. Drone Technologies

Drones are one of the first disruptive technology to follow Big Data

Significant Disruptive Technologies past 20 years


1. For any one commercial drone, data collection can be voluminous2. Drone/Drone and Drone/Aircraft potential is large3. While the commercial market is potentially large, the startup

businesses is possibly even larger4. Both commercial and startup’s need ready-to-go tailored

infrastructure and processing support5. Cloud enablement is the last technical roadblock to enable Big Data,

CEP and IoT infrastructure support

Big Data tie-in


What can you build that can be leveraged for this market?

and should you be building it now?

Times4. Significantly increases number of

inspections per day5. Heavily data driven6. Current bottleneck?

Manual Intervention / Analytics

Commonality?


1. Last mileStream images and video directly to the cloud

2. Automated / RT analyticsRemove the person from the workflow

3. Real-time decision makingStreaming & Complex Event Processing

4. Intercommunication with immediate surrounding airspace

Internet of Things

What is needed today?

Example Opportunity


Pole Dry Rot Inspection

Poles can rot from the top downPoles need to be inspected on a rotating basisCurrent inspections are a subjective processCurrent inspection place employees in harms way


Example: Pole Dry Rot Inspection – current state

• Dispatch truck• Cordon off area• Extend stabilizers• Safety vest, shielding, gloves, etc• Connect harness to bucket• Ascend to pole top• Inspect, document• Lower bucket• Stow equipment• Move to next pole

Number of poles inspected: 1Estimated inspection time: 45–60 minPeople in jeopardy: 1-2


Pole Dry Rot Inspection – future state

• Plan mission• Dispatch truck(s)• Cordon off area• Review/modify mission plan• File Flight Plan (DROTAM)• Launch, inspect, cloud store, analyze,

generate report• Stow equipment• Move to next neighborhood

Number of poles inspected: 50-100Estimated inspection time: 45-60 min People in jeopardy: 0


Plan the Mission (first inspection)

1. Call up the area in a maps enabled flight planning tool

2. Identify the individual poles as points-of-interest

3. Identify a flight path that crosses each pole

4. Plan altitude to avoid know object: trees, wires, bridges, etc


Execute Mission

1. Arrive on site2. Review area for safety and

obstacles against plan3. Update plan as necessary4. Secure the area5. Fly the mission


MissionAs mission is flown, image data and geo location uploaded directly to Big Data storage

Automation

Each image automatically compared to an array of known “good” and “bad” poles


Scoring

• Pole score calculated• Reports generated• Ad-hoc Analysis• Ambiguous Pole Identification


Unable to compute

Indeterminate poles sent for human analysis – with the results being used for future “known” pool


During Scan…

…other analytics performed – limb distance measurements, insulator failure, bracket failure, etc. Information sent to CEP where other actions contemplated and notifications issued


During flight…

…other IoT communications (drones, aircraft, trucks, transformers, smart meters, etc) take place, helping to coordinate safe flight and plan for additional actions


Required Infrastructure

Drone upload interfaceCloud based data storeKnown “good” and “bad” pole image databaseImage comparison best fit analytics Report generationAbility to add new pole image data


• When do they apply?The moment you take off outdoors

• Registration Requirements?Section 333 Exemption, COA, pilots license Part 107 + Knowledge Exam (coming)

• PreflightCheck local airspace before you flyCall local towers for approvalMonitor local tower or CTAF frequencies File “DROTAM” with Flight Services

• Private property rights83’ (US v Causby)500’ general lower limit to manned aircraftnumbers could change

• Use Limitations

• Other FAAClass B, C, D restrictions5 mile airport restrictions3 mile heliport restrictions2 mile seaport restrictions

FAA Regulations


1. New Part 107 registration process to replace existing 333 exemptions

knowledge test now live on FAA Safety sight

2. State and Local Law ConflictCourts have (generally) upheld FAA dominanceContinuing attempts to add new privacy lawsNear-term future cloudy

3. Minimum privacy heightExpected the courts will have to add clarification to existing case law

Anticipated Changes / Unintended Consequences


1. Privatization of ATCImpact unknown?Drone pushback?Fee for use?

2. Future Tracking OptionsNextGen / ADS-B out (2020)FlightAware, FlightRadar, etcOptical basedRadar basedGeo based

3. International AdoptionSome countries significantly faster than the USADesignated UAS testing facilities

Anticipated Changes / Unintended Consequences


1. Bad ActorsReckless operationsAircraft strikesClueless operationsTerrorism

2. FAA Test Facilities3. Shared Sky's

Historic Anti Pilot Sentiment Line of Sight LimitationsClass B, C, D restrictions5/3/2 mile restrictions

4. International AdoptionSome countries significantly faster than the USADesignated UAS testing facilities

Wild Cards


Average person on the street:

• 51% against use of Drones• 74% have safety concerns• 75% have privacy concerns• 76% welcome tighter enforcement• 40% feel poses more risks than rewards• Yet only 18% say they have a good

understanding of what the rules are

• IoT as a Service• Fusion IoT APIs

Other Well Positioned Vendors


1. Market is taking off with or without the United States2. Time to build solution infrastructure is now3. If your market is limited to the US, near term future is unknown4. Ultimately UAS adoption is inevitable5. Historically slow moving FAA is being very aggressive/pro UAV6. Due to overseas adoption, if you do not act now, you most likely will be shut

out.
