HOW KESPRY WORKS
KESPRY DIFFERENCE
AUTOMATION
• Kespry’s end-to-end design
provides an integrated
hardware/software system
• Automated take-off, flight
and landing—no joysticks
• Automation is essential for
reliability and safety in the
commercial market
PROCESSING POWER
• Kespry has heavily invested in
on-board processors—a flying
laptop
• Processing power enables on-
board automated navigation
and image processing
• Self-updating software systems
provide the best of current and
future technologies

DRONE INDUSTRY ISSUES
SAFETY
• FAA published drone guidelines:
1. Daytime flight
2. Line of sight
3. Over property with permission
4. <400 feet altitude
5. >5 miles from airport
• FAA “333” registered exemption process
• FAA drone regulations in progress
