Israel becomes the first-ever country to allow drones in civilian airspace

Israel becomes the first-ever country to allow drones in civilian airspace. Referring to this, Israel’s Ministry of Transport and Road Safety recently announced the country’s first certification for unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs) to operate in civilian airspace. This means that the drones in Israel will be allowed to fly in civilian airspace, just like any other civilian airliner, rather than being restricted to unsegregated airspace.

As per the reports, the certification was issued to the Hermes Starliner unmanned system by the Israeli Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and was manufactured and developed by Elbit Systems, an Israeli defense electronics company. Hermes Starliner drone will fly in civilian airspace for the benefit of agriculture, environment, fight against crime, the people, and the economy.
