A House-Senate conference report this week called on the Administration to accelerate the use of civilian unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or ?drones,? in U.S. airspace.

The pending authorization bill for the Federal Aviation Administration directs the Secretary of Transporation to develop within nine months ?a comprehensive plan to safely accelerate the integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system.?

?The plan? shall provide for the safe integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system as soon as practicable, but not later than September 30, 2015.?

Could have sworn I saw someone post this on the forum, but couldn't find it.

This is already being done in the EU. http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/smart-takes/spy-drones-track-european-farms/22586 (http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/smart-takes/spy-drones-track-european-farms/22586)

Interesting read but in summary drones are being used in the EU to spy on farmers, e.g. looking for new taxable revenues and see what the farmers are growing.
