Our CEO, Paris Cockinos, was invited to speak at FlytBase’s NestGen '25, a global virtual event focused on the future of autonomous drone operations.

If you haven’t come across NestGen before, it’s a front-row seat to how drone-in-a-box solutions, AI, and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations are coming together to reshape aerial workflows.

Compliance takes centre stage

Paris joined a panel discussion titled “Navigating BVLOS Compliance for Remote Operations Centres (ROCs)”, where he was joined by Australian industry leaders Jackie Dujmovic and Dylan Bishop from Hover UAV and Luke Chaplain from SkyKelpie.

Together, they unpacked some of the real challenges and practical pathways to achieving BVLOS approvals, especially when scaling remote operations.

Why it matters?

As the regulatory environment continues to shift, the conversation focused on what it actually takes to operationalise BVLOS in Australia at scale: how ROCs fit in, where the friction points lie, and what’s needed from both industry and regulators to move things forward.
