The (UK) Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the national telecoms regulator (Ofcom) will be taking the stage at December’s UK Drone Show in Birmingham to impart the latest drone and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) information to experts in the drone industry. This event, to be held on 5 and 6 December at Birmingham’s NEC Arena, will see the CAA present and discuss UAV and drone regulations with commercial and consumer customers for the first time in what is said to be the UK’s only public exhibition dedicated to the safe use of drone and UAV technology.

The regulator is expected to outline current thinking on how oversight of the rapidly expanding UAV sector will evolve over the short to medium term. As well as addressing issues such as misuse and dangerous flying by recreational users, Ofcom will also be outlining the latest reports from the regulatory body.
