On September 18, 2018 Botlink along with North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and Northern Plains UAS Test Site (NPUASTS) announced the second phase of testing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in Fargo. Working in conjunction with CNN, ParaZero, the NDDOT and NPUASTS, we are performing the second series of test flights of Unmanned Aircraft Systems for potential flight over a group of people in controlled airspace. This second phase will take place on September 29th at the NDSU football game tailgate. On this day, we will fly drones over-top of the tailgaters, capturing photos and footage of the event. We will be live streaming the flight on our Facebook page with Microsoft MSN.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) along with the U.S. DOT announced that North Dakota was one of ten selected to participate in the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integration Pilot Program (IPP). The ten winners will be testing drone functions such as the ability to fly a UAS over people, operate a UAS at night along with the ability to fly UAS beyond the pilot's visual line of sight. This program will also be monitoring the integration of unmanned systems into the day-to-day airspace operations.

The construction industry is one where the smallest of mistakes can end up as costly errors and stop multi-million dollar projects right in their tracks.
With so much intense competition at hand—and so much risk involved—how can a business hope to stand out from the crowd and streamline their workflow, while also keeping new financial investments in technology at a minimal?
Shooting photography at eye-level is cool and all but shooting from a bird’s eye view captures photography in an entirely new way. In recent years, drone photography has taken off. The unique perspective from a drone’s view offers some impressive and breathtaking shots that cannot be captured with normal, eye-level photography.
As far as drones have evolved over the years, many consumer models still feature a max flight time of around 20 minutes. Some offer as little as five minutes. This fallback can be annoying to those wanting to fly longer than a third of an hour (which is probably the vast majority of pilots) so we wanted to give you some helpful tips (nine of them to be exact!) on how you can keep your drone in the air longer.
