Walmart could start using drones to start delivering things to your house Amazon and Walmart have been jockeying for position in the battle to be the number one U s. retailer.

Now it looks like they'll take that battle to the skies as Walmart joins the online retailer in a quest to use a legion of drones for product deliveries and pickups.

According to Reuters, which saw a copy of a Walmart's Federal aviation administration application for drone use.

The application would allow Walmart to use drones at its warehouses and around customershomes and the reports suggests the giant retailer is ready to start flying drones as soon as the FAA settles on its new rules for commercial drone use.

Earlier this month, the FAA unveiled a new set of rules for private drone use that include registering many of the drones with the FAA before consumers start flying them.

For commercial drones, which could be used in everything from filming movies to delivering groceries, the FAA has been considering some line-of-sight provisions that could make it virtually impossible for Amazon

and now Walmart to use drones in home deliveries. According to the report Walmart plans to use drones from DJI to monitor inventories outside their warehouses,

deliver packages to customers, many of whom live within five miles of their local Walmart,

and to deliver groceries to pick up locations for customers. DJI is one of the most popular drone makers on the market,

with a line of Phantom drones, including the Phantom 3 Standard, which Mashable recently test drove (or flew)."

"Drones have a lot of potential to further connect our vast network of stores, distribution centers, fulfillment centers and transportation fleet,

"Walmart spokesperson Dan Toporek told Reuters. Of course, no one not Amazon and not Walmart is delivering anything by drone until the FAA finalizes its commercial plans,

something that won't happen until next year, at the earliest. That's way late for your last-minute Christmas shopping plans,

which could reasonably be assisted by drone deliveries. Have something to add to this story? Share it in the comments o

#Airware Launches Its Commercial Drone Operating system Drones could save businesses big money by doing dull, dirty,

The problem is that drones can be difficult to program and pilot. Airware is out to change that with today launch of its Aerial Information Platform.

Ground Control Station for dispatching drones, and its cloud platform for customizing missions and collecting data.

the four year-old Airware is perhaps Silicon valley premier drone startup. Airware integrated hardware software, and cloud system lets enterprises customize drones to check on gas pipelines,

survey farm land, inspect cell towers, patrol property, or do search & rescue, Now wel see just how many businesses will pay a monthly subscription for Airware to power their drones for industrial inspections, agriculture management, anti-poaching, and more.

Consumer drone makers are growing fast as quad-copters become the hot new toy for kids and adults alike.

China DJI is said to be raising money at a $10 billion valuation. But long-term, theyl likely be commoditized as hardware makers around the globe clone

It the way drones improve efficiency for heavy industry that could be the enduring moneymaker.

Whatever companies makes the software that runs these drones would make serious profits for years to come.

and a handful of reporters from San francisco to an isolated farm in Petaluma, where the startup showed off its platform with a variety of drones built for different use cases.

The company hoped to demonstrate how its system can be customized to let any drone do any job.

the Ground Control Station that lets a single user operate a fleet of drones from a Windows laptop or tablet,

Rather than having to pre-program a drone, manually pilot it, and then painstakingly dump the data back to your servers,

The goal is to reduce the drone piloting expertise needed to get complicated missions flown.

enhance it with cloud widgets to customize their drone to the day use case, and the data flows back automatically.

Operators can just trace a flight path on a map instead of driving the drone in real-time.

the startup had several of its biggest customers speak about their use of the platform in their own drones.

French drone company Delta Drone showed of its drone capabilities for surveying farmland and dig sites using flight plans generated Airware Ground Control Station.

Users simply draw out a geofence for the drone to stay within and give it parameters like required altitude.

It wasn the flashiest demo wee ever seen with a drone after taking off it went to a set height

But commercial drone use isn supposed to be sexy. It supposed to get the job done safe, fast, and cheap.

After several similar demos, Drone America CEO Mike Richards spoke about using his company larger drones with Airware software for missions outside of traditional industrial uses.

replacing lifeguards at beaches with drones carrying floatation devices that can identify people in distress.

One of the new things shown off during these demos was support for fixed-wing drones,

launching via a catapult, flying several quick passes around the the whole area, and landing with a couple of bounces on the thick grass.

Instead of requiring customers to build their own app with the exact drone interface needed, building on Windows will allow them to download the same app to each tablet

Essentially, third-parties will be able to develop plug-ins to let drones handle even more niche missions. Little Copters, Big Business This is

since theye mostly industrial or nterpriseclients who already have their own drones, there no need to offer a free tier just yet

Airware costs $2500 per drone per year. But the company doesn have to race to revenue just yet.

Drones are more than just war machines. Downey grew up the son of pilots, then built his own drones at MIT.

Now his company Airware is going to teach them to do our bidding, and even save some lives g
