Despite news reports last week to the contrary, the State of Hawaii is not stuck with a useless remote-controlled drone, at least according to its builder, Paul Schultz, CEO of Hawaii-based Hawaiya Technologies. A spokesman for the Hawaii Department of Transportation had said the $75,000 spent on the HTI-150 UAV, as part of a $1.4 million federal security grant was wasted, because the FAA would never allow the machine to fly in the vicinity of Honolulu International Airport or Hickam AFB for risk of a mid-air collision.
