THE Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and the Ministry of Transport have roped in the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and several private sector firms to test out a system to serve any enterprise who needs to fly drones safely in Singapore's urban environment.
The consortium will build and test a framework for authorising, monitoring, and coordinating large numbers of drones. The framework will facilitate the charting and approval of flight paths as well as the identification and authentication of aircraft and pilots against a registry.
