counter drone technologies should only be used in military.

CASA seeks your view on the way in which we are approaching regulation of RPA in Australia today and for the future.

Casa's approach to regulation is currently inline with common sense for the average user. It would be good however for the regulations to be written so they can't be interpreted differently between 2 different people.
