This document discusses PwC's drone technology solutions and the commercial drone market. It provides an overview of PwC's drone services in Poland and its proprietary geospatial application. The global commercial drone market is valued at over $127 billion, and drones can provide solutions across many industries like agriculture, insurance, and infrastructure. PwC aims to help harmonize drone regulations globally to accelerate industry adoption by focusing first on visual line-of-sight standards and implementing legislation gradually based on industry needs.

Harmonization at a global level is necessary to accelerate
implementation of drone solutions
Let’s focus on VLOS first
Streamline the process from the user perspective – less exemptions more standard
Gradual implementation of legislation and technology standards – along with the real needs of industries
7
Careful analysis of the real issues and risks related to drone operations – avoid „media” point of view
Use soft ways of promoting standards – i.e. governmental policy promoting standards for the use of drone technologies
in public tenders for supervision of construction of linear infrastructure (roads, railways)
