The document summarizes the progress and goals of the Automated Drone Reality Project. It discusses how the project began in 2003 to bring organizations together to share knowledge about drones and resolve issues through proof of concept projects. Membership and community days were created to openly share information. Various drone applications were tested for safety alerts, augmented reality, and tool/equipment tracking. The next steps discussed expanding automated drone capabilities, changing legislation to allow more uses, and packaging drone technologies for organizations. Barriers to adoption are addressed as well as the need for pilot projects and regulator engagement. The progress so far in 2016 is outlined along with challenges for 2017.
