I reached out to Sky Components for remark they usually despatched the next media response:-
Sky Components Drones desires to increase our honest hope for a full and speedy restoration to these impacted at our Lake Eola present in Orlando on Saturday, Dec. 21. The well-being of our viewers is our utmost precedence, and we remorse any misery or inconvenience brought about.
We’re diligently working with the FAA and Metropolis of Orlando officers to find out the trigger and are dedicated to establishing a transparent image of what transpired. Hundreds of thousands of individuals see our reveals yearly, and we’re dedicated to sustaining the very best security laws set forth by the FAA.
My layman’s ideas on this incident had me questioning what the observe log off performances appeared like and why a geofence of some kind didn’t cease swarm components flying in the direction of the crowds.
Fortunately we now have two drone present consultants on our weekly Drone and Sundry hangout. I requested them what they thought.

From Mark, “For these questioning it wasn’t a hack – it seems to be like compass points and one thing else, nonetheless a log out the drones would reveal extra, for separation from the gang in America they use the two:1 ratio – two ft in peak is 1 foot horizontal as normal. If the drones are 200 ft up the gang has to me greater than 100 ft away, however they could have a diminished distance”
Stephens ideas, “Relying on the system, (the Unify system I’m not accustomed to), you shouldn’t be in a position to launch the drones with the Geofence not loaded.
The rate of the drones was additionally regarding, however the dimension of the buffer zone and the geofence ought to have mitigated this.
Drone calibration is most definitely the reason for the drones behaving as they did, however the geofence (if lively) ought to have stopped them reaching the viewers.”
