The unit cost for one Predator is about $4.5 million, according to DHS estimates. But the costs of operating a UAV can become more than double the costs of operating a manned aircraft, said the Congressional Research Service (CRS) last summer.(See Homeland Security: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Border Surveillance.).ased on that figure, keeping one UAV in the air every hour of the year would cost about $28.5 million.

Anyone who wants to fly a UAS will have to register it first. Here is what you will need to know: Registration begins on December 21, 2015. The fee is $5 but the FAA is waiving it for the first 30 days, which means you will have until almost the end of January before you have to pay. Failure to register your drone could result in criminal penalties up to $250,000 and three years in prison (though thatâs pretty harsh and we hope it wouldnât come to that).
