Drone Operations Over People the Censys Technologies Waiver

New Approval Enhances UAS Capabilities Without the Need for Visual Observers

Censys Technologies has received a significant waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that allows their Sentaero 5 drone to operate over people and moving vehicles without the need for visual observers. This approval marks a considerable advancement in the field of drone operations, particularly for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) applications.

The waiver enables operators of the Sentaero 5, an eVTOL fixed-wing drone, to conduct flights in areas where people and vehicles are present. Such permissions are typically not granted without specific waivers, making this approval a notable achievement for Censys Technologies and its customers. According to the company, this development will allow for more efficient and comprehensive data collection in environments where the risks to ground personnel are considered manageable.

Trevor Perrott, CEO and Co-Founder of Censys Technologies, expressed his enthusiasm for the new capabilities. “Operating drones over people and moving vehicles without the need for visual observers brings into view urban infrastructure intelligence and a pathway for expansion,” said Perrott. He also recognized the contributions of their customers, adding, “First, I applaud the leadership from our phenomenal customers that brought this capability to civil airspace alongside Censys and the FAA. This is a huge milestone toward minimizing human risk in aviation and maximizing asset intelligence. The exciting part of this story is what follows; we enter the climb phase of flight.”

The FAA’s approval of this waiver highlights Censys Technologies’ ongoing commitment to safety and innovation in the drone industry. By expanding what is possible with UAS operations, the company is opening new doors for industries that rely on drones for data collection and analysis.
