beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)
An operating mode in which a drone performs flight missions outside the operator's visual line of sight. It relies on sense-and-avoid, radar, and remote monitoring to ensure safety and is a key regulatory condition for large-scale drone delivery.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Early regulations in most countries require drones to remain within the operator's line of sight, which severely limits the coverage radius and serviceable population of a single route.
Regulators opening up beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations and allowing a single operator to supervise multiple aircraft simultaneously is the key threshold for delivery networks to move from single-point demonstrations to multi-city replication.
