Robert Wolf: Really ‘No Reason’ for Most Drones to Fly at Night

EXCERPT:

WOLF: “Number two, let’s talk about use cases for drones, inspecting solar farms, turbines, cell towers, package delivery, doing, you know, disaster recovery. You know, rooftop inspection, and I could go on, geo — geo-mapping, precision agriculture, all of these use cases take place during the day. All of that inspection and imagery and video is during the day. So let’s talk about night time. Nighttime drones have only been legal for a short period, less than, I think less than two years. Most commercial drones don’t fly at night. There is really no reason. And the only reason to do it is certain type of inspection that uses either thermal imagery or maybe they’ll use something like infrared imagery.”
