1st commercial drone operator in ND conducts BVLOS flights for medical supply transport, enabled by FAA waiver and Vantis system.

iSight Drone Services, based in Grand Forks, ND, becomes the first commercial drone operator in the state to conduct BVLOS flights, enabled by a FAA waiver and Vantis, a statewide sensor and radar system. The company plans to use drones in transporting medical supplies and records for Altru Health System between their main clinic and satellite campuses. These developments are facilitated by the FAA's NTAP program, making UAS operations more feasible and cost-effective in North Dakota than elsewhere in the US.
