Australian Association for Unmanned Systems (AAUS)

The Australian Association for Unmanned Systems (AAUS) is Australia’s largest industry advocacy group for unmanned systems. AAUS represents unmanned systems across all three domains: land, sea and air.  AAUS’s objective is to promote a professional, safe and commercially viable unmanned systems industry.

AB Phillips works closely with AAUS to deliver specialised General Insurance and Risk Management products and services.

EXCITING NEW INSURANCE FACILITY FOR COMMERCIAL DRONE OPERATORS

Drones that are operated by businesses are not usually covered under the businesses’ standard liability policy. There have been incidents in the USA and Europe of drones hitting commercial aircraft, hitting pedestrians, causing trespass disputes and more.  These incidents have resulted in claims that are not covered under standard liability insurance policies.

In response to this, AB Phillips has worked with AAUS to devise a specialist insurance facility to protect commercial drones and their operators.

This facility has been devised specifically for commercial operators and is tailored for business and individuals that operate within the law and/or adhere to CASA compliance and regulations.

WHAT DOES IT COVER?

If you are eligible, this facility provides insurance for:

• Public Liability

• The drone

• Payload (Our UAV Equipment policy covers carrying payload, i.e. cameras, video surveillance, measuring or monitoring equipment)

• Damage to the UAV/Drone whilst in flight

• Transit cover – anywhere in Australia

Premiums are competitively priced, with a discount available to members of AAUS.
