Versaterm is folding FAA LAANC requests into DroneSense so public-safety crews can ask for airspace without leaving the dispatch app. Separately, the FCC is due to vote on 29 October on ending recognition of mainland China test labs - a move that will not rewrite the existing foreign-drone covered list, but will change who can certify radios and cameras that still have a legal path.

DJI's Dock 4 is the first of its docks to swap packs automatically instead of charging the aircraft on the pad. The company quotes 25 seconds for the swap and 45 seconds from landing to the next takeoff. The paired Matrice 5TD carries triple 50 MP cameras, thermal, lidar, and radar, with about 59 minutes on a pack. The hardware is not cleared for the US market under the current covered-list rules.
