Assignment - Rules of the Road
Rules of the Road
You and your partner have turned your hobby of building precision drones and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for filming and photography into a successful internet business called Aerospace Drones. Your company has earned a reputation for building high quality drones equipped with premium cameras, advanced performance features, and a wide range of automated flight modes.
In recent years, Aerospace Drones has become a preferred vendor for private security companies due to your products' superb aerial imagery. Recently, a colleague recommended that you expand your business even further by competing for Department of Homeland Security contracts. Because you have limited experience in this realm, you have important research to do.
