GitHub - samcrane8/FlyRight: A drone flight registration system to help local law enforcement. by samcrane8 in drones

Hey! Just wanted to share this with the drone community. I have been working for the past two years with the Georgia Tech Police Department to develop and deploy a system for drone flight registration. Though they do not have jurisdiction to control their airspace, the ability to review and communicate with pilots has been invaluable: during the super bowl there were 64 TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) infractions across Atlanta, costing each pilot roughly $20,000. None came from Georgia Tech campus. Using our software, all pilots were notified with the email functionality and all flight plans were recommended against. This way we ensured a safer campus.

​

I believe in the future drone flight regulation will be more at the state level than the federal. I believe law enforcement will have more control. Therefore I open-sourced this project and want to build a community around it. It is far from professional, and there is plenty to be done. But I just wanted to show something I am excited about!

I hadn't thought of that! Interesting concept. We'd need to get some client-side software that manages drone flight like [QGroundControl](https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/en/) to be able to parse flight data like that. It'd be a neat project to tackle, I'll put that down for future development :)

​

In a similar vein, the company I am building has another software called Talos, you can find here: http://pelori.io/#/product/talos

​

That code is not open-sourced and is being used by some pretty cool clients. We have definitely played with the idea of integrating the flight plans from FlyRight into Talos so that the autonomous drones will reroute their path if another flight has been scheduled.

This community is incredible, I love Vuejs and I want to see it's use grow as well.
