[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n Drone USA, Inc. (OTC Markets: DRUS) (“Drone USA” or the “Company”), a \n drone reseller, drone service provider and distributor of products to \n the U.S. police and firemen, and the U.S. Government, announced a \n reseller partnership with Atlanta-based Skyfire Consulting, a company \n that specializes in assisting police, fire and private corporations with \n filing Certificates of authorization and/or waivers with the U.S. \n Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).\n \n \n Michael Bannon, Drone USA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our \n reseller partnership with Skyfire enables us to offer a necessary and \n critical component of our everything drone strategy to our \n customers.

We can also help our customers waive \n certain aspects of the FAA part 107 regulations, such as flying at night \n during a search and rescue operation, operating more than one drone at a \n time, and operating drones near crowds. Without an authorization or \n waivers, police would have to wait weeks for approval before operating \n their drones. During search and rescue where life and death is at stake, \n the police do not have weeks, they may only have hours. Both \n authorizations and waivers are critical components to a viable drone \n program.”\n \n \n Paul Ouellette, Drone USA’s VP of Business Development and Sales \n commented, “All departments will ultimately need waivers. For example, a \n department performing search and rescue missions may need to fly at \n night or in restricted airspace. That is not the same for certificates \n of authorization. According to one of our police customers, departments \n where 15% percent of the town’s airspace is restricted will need a \n certificate of authorization. In Connecticut that is probably more than \n half of the towns and most of the cities. Certificates of ...
