Percepto’s “drone-in-a-box” technology, used by electric utilities, oil & gas, solar power stations, and mining operations, detects infrastructure problems, enabling faster response times and ensuring remedial action is taken where it is needed most. Percepto’s waiver enables the expansion of automated drone inspection and monitoring without the lengthy wait that has traditionally been necessary for site-specific BVLOS approvals.
Hogan Lovells partner Lisa Ellman, who leads the firm’s Uncrewed Aviation Systems practice, said: “Obtaining authorization from the FAA to conduct BVLOS operations nationwide is a significant win for Percepto, and we are proud to have helped our client bring this over the finish line. In addition to being an important step for the industry as a whole, we hope this is a sign the FAA will continue to encourage innovation by key critical infrastructure operators in the field of AI.”
In addition to Ellman, Washington, D.C.-based counsel Patrick Rizzi and senior associate Matthew Clark also advised Percepto. Hogan Lovells’ UAS team also includes Arjun Garg, Emily Kimball, and Allisa Newman.
