The implication is that sin- gle-sensor solutions like AeroScopes will need to be expanded to ensure safety vis- a-vis non-DJI drones .

Secondly , the rise of custom- izable / DIY drones means that computer vision and AI soft- ware will need to be part- nered with higher-grade hard- ware and multi-sensor systems to provide a more robust level of security that fully or partially open-air venues and facili- ties like airports , correctional facilities , stadiums and more will require moving forward .
These concerns also leave openings for bad actors to exploit with non-DJI or DIY drones , causing chaos and threatening the safety of pi- lots , inmates , eventgoers , and security professionals .
With the growing understand- ing of the threats that drones pose by our legislators , the SAFETY Act office will again start accepting applications from counter-drone companies and we expect that the number of applications will increase dramatically next year .
Venues that have this certifi- cation or recognition will also continue selecting vendors that have or are willing to pursue the same level from the federal government .
Finally , there may be anoth- er new market for drones and counter-drone technologies enabled around the world and here in the US : Beyond Visual Line of Sight ( BVLOS ), which is currently prohibited unless a pilot has a hard-to-get waiver from the FAA , to use , for exam-
