West Milford, NJ – According to David Zimmer of the Record, “A new commercial enterprise is buzzing around North Jersey skies. In a process he described as painfully arduous, township resident Frank Galella and his Lincoln Park-based Next Generation Aviation Services recently gained federal approval to commercially operate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).”
"Anybody can probably do this [operate multirotor UAS] when everything's working, but you have to be prepared for those times when something doesn't work," he said. "To get in the first 100 [approved exemptions] is something we are extremely proud of, and we are serious about doing things the right way."
“Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are just starting to gain popularity in the consumer realm. Colloquially known as drones, they are known for carrying missiles and surveillance cameras. But they also have varied uses outside of national defense.”
Part of the appeal, Galella said, is that UAV represent an emerging market. They are much less expensive to fly than helicopters, can operate in different weather conditions, and can easily go where people cannot or will not go, he said.
