Volans-i Becomes the First Drone Delivery Company to Earn an ARGUS Gold Rating

ARGUS International, Inc. has awarded the ARGUS Gold Unmanned Operator rating to Volans-i, making the organization the first unmanned delivery operation to earn this aviation rating. The California-headquartered autonomous drone delivery solution serves the commercial, defense, and humanitarian sectors both within the United States and abroad.

The ARGUS Unmanned Audit Standard is the first audit of its kind, developed to provide consumers with unbiased, factual, and relevant data necessary to make informed and confident decisions every time they utilize a service provider. The program assesses the safety of UAS operators while creating a fully-vetted registry of commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems operators to support end-customer sourcing and due-diligence requirements for internal operations and external vendor qualification.

The ARGUS Unmanned Audit Standard, established in 2017, was a natural evolution of ARGUS’ nearly twenty-five years of evaluating aviation organizations worldwide. The well-established audit standard in the manned industry today serves thousands of aircraft operators, charter companies, and end-users globally. To attain an ARGUS Unmanned Gold Rating, UAS operators must be a legal entity with applicable insurance, have UAS operational policies, undergo pilot background checks, have aircraft in operation, and undergo an in-depth historical safety analysis.
