I had a great talk with Christian Bering from Holo in Denmark.

Holo is the leading implementer, integrator, and operator of autonomous vehicles in the Nordics. Whenever a customer needs a solution for a problem, most of the time multiple parties have to work together in order to solve the problem. If you don’t want to deal with all those different parties you can ask Holo to come up with a complete end-to-end solution for your problem.

And it’s not only limited to drones in the sky, they are also working with autonomous vehicles that drive around on land!

I had a great talk with Michael Larsen from UAS Denmark Test Center about how it is to have a drone test center very close to an airport.

Safety is very important when mixing manned and unmanned aviation in the same airspace. We see that right now that some of the safety margins are too big. When you are hovering your drone you need to land it because a plane is landing 3 kilometers away.

With our eyes on the future, we all know this is something we will have to learn to do in a safe way.

It’s actually very similar to the South African regulations. Check out the full podcast to learn more about what @craig claeve from @kendrone shared with me.

One of the rules in Kenya is that you need an ROC (Remote Operator Certificate) to fly your drones legally. In order to get an ROC, you need a company with at least 4 members. Because of this rule, it’s impossible for single pilots to really start their own drone business.

One of the workarounds is asking another (umbrella) ROC if you can fly under their ROC. This comes with its own risks of course. For example, how will you keep operational control over all the single pilots that need to follow your Operations manual and so on...

That is one of the topics our guests of today’s Drone Business Talk-podcast are discussing. We proudly present CEO Robin Kock and CFO Vincent Sepeng of Premier Mapping Africa, THE survey company in Southern Africa, and one of the pioneers of the UAV industry.

These guys have been experimenting with drones - think Hasselblad cameras attached to weather balloons to do photogrammetric mapping - as early as 1983 (!). Their innovative mindset has led them to have about 6 or 7 aircrafts in the air today, daily, flying multiple missions.

Learn from the best as they discuss UAV data management, fixed wing drones and LiDAR technology!
