![]() ![]() ![]() Demonstrating Agility - the entire process from gap analysis through the issuance of a technical RFP documents and the initial selection process was completed in a period of 5 weeks.This conversation provided regulators with an understanding of the technical capabilities, use cases, gaps and how to support and build more resilient regulatory ecosystem. Collaborative and agile regulation brings together a vibrant drone ecosystem - by bringing together the public and private sectors, the drone ecosystem can develop a better understanding of the needs of both sectors.The first demonstration of the project is scheduled for March 2021, where we will have 8 demonstrations total every quarter in the next 2 years. This unique project is calling for Israel and international companies to join this first-ever demonstration of operating several UAS in a dense urban area. In October 2020, Israel Innovation Authority, as part of the National Drone Initiative, released its first call for proposal to demonstrate UTM capabilities in Israel. ![]() C4IR Israel, as part of the World Economic Forum network, serves as key project coordinator, promoting stakeholders’ involvement, contacting international government entities and key industry players, and assisting in creating clear guidelines and rules for flight operations and product deliveries. The main partners of this program are the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel (CAAI), Centre for the 4th Industrial Revolution Israel (C4IR), the Ministry of Transportation of Israel, Ayalon Highways, the Fuel Choices, and the Smart Mobility Initiative. In the wake of COVID-19 and the enormous challenges that it poses, Israel launched its National Drone Initiative (previously named NAAMA). While there are many successful Israeli drone companies, the ecosystem is still tilted toward security applications due to lack of economic incentives to test and develop civil application in Israel, dense airspace that limits the testing opportunities and the lack of supporting regulation to enable the potential in this market. Israel airspace is limited with strict control, limited commercial flying zones and no flying zones along its border. If your company is interested in joining our pilot in one or more of the 24 demos which will take place over the next couple of years (2023-2024) please contact Meital Goren of Ayalon Highways: Please contact us at least 40 days prior to the demo you want to join and we will be happy to collaborate with you! Moving forward to the next phase of creating a national drone network: for the announcement on the selection of companies to participate in phase II of the Israel Drone Initiative, click here! ![]()
