The government spokesperson announced the approval of a supporting bill in the Cabinet to organize the field of civilian drones, organize and predict executive policies, coordination and support in this field.

According to the Iran digital economy annotation, “Ali Bahadori Jahromi” told reporters on the sidelines of today’s meeting of the government delegation: “Today, a support bill was approved by the cabinet and will be submitted to the parliament to organize the field of civilian drones, which will include executive policies, coordination and support in this The context predicts.”

He also said: “Also, activity licenses in the field of construction, production, training, repairs, exploitation and issuance of user certificates in the fields of manufacturing civilian drones such as agriculture and industry were foreseen in this bill.”

According to Bahadori Jahromi, it was expected that the Civil Aviation Organization and related institutions would have the necessary support from knowledge-based companies and activists in this field in allocating permits for the import of parts or samples from which modeling or transfer of technical knowledge is done.

For several years, remotely controlled birds, or drones, have become one of the entertainment and professional gadgets of various societies, and in our country, which has an incredible speed in the use of today’s consumer technologies, we are witnessing their increasing flight.

In this regard, we have the civil aviation law approved on August 1, 2003, according to its article 5, the civil aviation organization is obliged to “supervise the activity of civil aviation according to the aviation regulations in order to prevent the occurrence of risks and harmful competition between air transport operators and Preservation of public interests.

Another law that exists in this field is the regulations for the management and organization of civilian ultra-light aircraft devices approved on August 31, 2017, which, of course, does not seem to be applicable to ultra-light aircraft devices such as current drones. Now it seems that the parliament bill can help more in this area.

Since military and security areas all over the world are subject to special laws and even photography is prohibited in their vicinity, so it is natural that in our country flying any drone in these areas is considered a security risk and will have consequences. .

It should be noted that in other countries, including the United States, in addition to no-fly zones, there are also designated No Drone Zones that have special rules. Therefore, specifying the reference body for establishing security laws in our country, in addition to protecting military and nuclear centers and people’s privacy, can also help the growing and lucrative market of the drone industry.
