Percepto VP Policy and Government Affairs Neta Gliksman Appointed Vice President of Commercial Drone Alliance

Percepto, an industry-leading autonomous inspection and monitoring solutions provider, today announced that its VP for Policy and Government Affairs Neta Gliksman was appointed Vice President for the Commercial Drone Alliance (CDA). The non-profit organization led by leading members of the commercial drone industry works with US federal policymakers and industry stakeholders to reduce barriers, and enable the expansion of the commercial uncrewed aircraft systems and advanced air mobility industries.

A member of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC), Gliksman’s appointment highlights Percepto’s commitment to making the widespread use of drones in commercial environments a reality. The company achieved a series of regulatory breakthroughs in North America over the last few years, most notably in recent months:

  • First of its kind nationwide Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) FAA waiver to remotely deploy and operate automated drones for critical infrastructure monitoring at customer sites (November 2022)
  • FAA highly automated BVLOS approval to enable operations 200 feet above ground level without a pilot or visual observer on-site

Gliksman works closely with regulatory bodies and other drone industry stakeholders around the world to push the regulatory needle forward for large-scale, autonomous commercial drone operations. She also works closely with Percepto clients globally, assisting them in receiving the regulatory approvals necessary for their operations.

“I look forward to working with my fellow CDA officers, and with our broader CDA membership, to ensure that a strong regulatory and policy framework accelerates the implementation of commercial drone technology,” said Gliksman. “Percepto fully appreciates the significant benefits that remote operations of drones will bring to critical infrastructure sites, including quicker incident response and vastly accelerating efficiency across inspections and operations.
