Zurich, Switzerland - October 24, 2023 - SwissDrones, a global manufacturer and operator of long-range uncrewed helicopter systems for inspection, surveillance, and public safety applications, has announced that its SDO 50 V2 multi-mission, single-turbine uncrewed helicopter system has been granted an unprecedented FAA authorization.

This landmark achievement marks the first-of-its-kind authorization within the nation, empowering PAU to broaden its capabilities in inspection, patrol, and survey missions over extensive distances. Furthermore, this authorization establishes a clear regulatory pathway, setting a precedent for other organizations utilizing the SDO 50 V2 to pursue BVLOS approvals for their commercial operations.
