Drone air traffic control system being developed in Singapore
The skies of the near future will be increasingly packed with drones, surveying, snapping photos and delivering an array of goods. A network with that many moving parts needs some structure, so Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is developing an air traffic control system for drones in Singaporean airspace, exploring ideas like geofencing, designated flight lanes and ground stations that track all airborne UAVs. NTU obviously isn't the first to tackle an idea this fundamental to the… (newatlas.com) 更多...
The growth and proliferation in area of drones is alarming. Both constructively as well as destructively.
Peruse the following two recent developments

After proving their presence felt through nuisance value in air above MSL the drones seem to be venturing to claim new territories below MSL to expand territory

Amazon floats the idea of drone-dropping airships

" When it comes to delivery-by-drone, one of the main limiting factors is battery life. ......Well, a recently-unearthed patent filed by Amazon addresses that issue. It proposes using airships as "airborne fulfillment centers" (AFCs) that would essentially drop cargo-carrying drones toward the buildings below. .... "
Hence regulation of drones operation deserves top priority.

Can't figure out how this will work. Where do they drop your package? front lawn? backyard? roof? What happens if the thing runs out of juice halfway down. Shipping still free on orders over $20.? This way of delivering packages would be a feast for thiefs - just follow the drone!
I ve got an idea...
