Welcome to your weekly UAS news update, we have 3 stories for you this week: DJI Releases, AUVSI\u2019s stance on Drone Bans, and an update on the man who flew over an NFL game in Maryland.
\nFirst up, DJI has a few rumors out for future releases!\nThe first is scheduled to come out on March 26th and is titled \u201cEasy Operation, Superior Results\u201d.\nLeaks suggest this is most likely the DJI Dock 2, the Matrice 3D, and 3DT drones. \nThe Dock 2 and the new Matrice series drones popped up on the FCC database in February, but we haven\u2019t seen any updates since then.\nRumors put the new dock at about $10,000 but don\u2019t discuss the price of the drones. \nLeaked specs include 50 minute flight times for Matrice 3D series, wind resistances up to 12 m/s (27 mph), and a maximum take off weight of 1610g. \nPretty cool for enterprise customers and public safety!\n\nhttps://dronexl.co/2024/03/19/dji-dock-2-matrice-3d-drones-launch/\n\nOur next story is about possible hidden agendas by AUVSI.\n\nhttps://dronexl.co/2024/03/19/auvsi-real-stance-on-dji-drone-ban/\n\nLast up this week is an update on the drone flyover of an NFL game earlier this year. \nMatthew Hebert flew a drone over and around the stadium causing a delay during the first quarter of the game.\nPolice quickly located Hebert, who claimed ignorance of the TFR and relied on the drone\u2019s remote control app for guidance. \nHebert cooperated fully with the investigation and was sentenced to one year of probation and a $500 fine. \n\nhttps://dronexl.co/2024/03/17/drone-afc-championship-probation-fine-pennsylvania-man/\n\nAlright, that\u2019s it, have a great weekend and we\u2019ll see you next week on Monday for the live!
