Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to preface my comments by saying that market research indicates that global civil UAV spending could nearly double within the next decade, from $6.4 billion annually to $11.5 billion. With this, the diversification of commercial applications, operators, aerospace manufacturers, and at the same time UAV recreationalists will in fact be taking full advantage of the capabilities and the capacities of these drones.
I want to dig a bit deeper into some of the questions already asked with respect to geofencing.
What technology is available at the present time with respect to individuals, whether it be to airports or to private homeowners? What technologies and therefore abilities are available for people to either block or disarm drones in certain geographic areas?
