UAS - Natural Resource Management
With our unmanned aircraft system, provides analysis and advanced image mapping to conserve and protect our environment and its natural resources. No matter your specific application: — Costal Monitoring — Develop detailed reports using quantitative surveys — Provide vegetation and resource mapping — Conduct wildlife surveys with unprecedented accuracy — Minimize environmental impact and wildlife disturbance — Create three-dimensional visuals and volumetric surveys — Change detection and data storage & hosting
UAS - Infrastructure Monitoring
Traditional infrastructure monitoring requires time and resources that are generally not cost-effective. Using unmanned aircraft, safely collects data to monitor pipelines, oil lines, power lines, levies, roads and waterways both timely and effectively.
Not only do unmanned aircraft systems decrease the time and manpower necessary to inspect infrastructure, but they produce data to assist with assessments.
From fence lines in Hawaii to dikes and dams in Florida, our unmanned aircraft can suit the data acquisition needs for your project —
Generates thorough assessments using empirical, rather than subjective, data
—
Creates three-dimensional models with exceptional accuracy
—
Cost-effectively scales operations from local sites to national infrastructure
—

Current FAA and UAV Status Who is Operating UAS in the NAS? Public Use Aircraft – Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) Department of Agriculture Department of Commerce Department of Defense Department of Energy Department of Homeland Security Department of Justice NASA State Universities Federal/State/Local Law Enforcement
How Are UAS Being Used? System Development Operational Missions Training for Ops Missions Research Sensor Development & Testing Marketing Border Patrol Firefighting Disaster Relief Search and Rescue
Where Are UAS Operating?
Standard: A first-time authorization issued to a public agency to operate in the National Airspace System (NAS). (60 working days)
Authorization Required? COA Only available for Public operations Agency determines pilot certification and airworthiness Special Airworthiness Certificate in the Experimental Category and Special Flight Permits for production flight testing FAA determines airworthiness No commercial operations FAA Order 8130.34, Airworthiness Certification of Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Optionally Piloted Aircraft
Renewal: A reissuance of the initial authorization with no changes proposed by the proponent. (30 working days)
Currently, flight over populated areas has not been approved
Woolpert has the team that can get your FAA COA approved and operational
