TE CONNECTIVITY SENSORS /// FIVE BARRIERS DRONES WILL NEED TO CLEAR FOR COMMERCIAL SUCCESS
There's a catch, though: in order to
reach its projected level of impact, the
commercial drone industry not only
will need to meet evolving government
regulations across the globe, it'll need to
meet the exacting specifications required
of businesses that are poised to benefit
the most from the technology, too.
And sensors of all types will play an outsized
role in helping drone manufacturers and
the industries they serve get the optimized
drones needed to drive commercial impact.
From Altimeter to temperature and humidity,
the average commercial drone will have a
minimum of 10 sensors on board. Inside this
report, we'll explore the role sensors will
play in helping commercial drones meet
their real-world potential in those areas.

• Contact Avoidance
• Consistent Airspeed
• Localized Weather Reporting
• Steadying Capabilities
BARRIER 1:
SAFETY
While it's unknown what additional
regulations or guidance the FAA and
international agencies like the European
Aerospace Safety Agency, will impose on
commercial drones, it's clear that regulators
are largely concerned with overall safety.
In the US, for instance, the current regulatory
framework requires that a pilot only operate
one drone at a time, within his or her line
of sight; operations are also limited to
daytime hours. The regulations also restrict
the weight of drones, the speed they can
