Since 2009, Drone America has been at the forefront of developing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) that make a real impact.
From nimble multirotor quadcopters to versatile VTOL hybrids and unmanned helicopters, our goal is for our innovations to become trusted tools for emergency services across the nation.
Today, we’re proud to announce our partnership with the UAS Center at SBD to revolutionize wildfire prevention and mitigation efforts. Through this collaboration, we’re using advanced drone technology to:
By combining our UAS expertise with the UAS Center at SBD’s research and regional insights, we’re building a proactive framework for fire safety—enhancing both detection and response.
As I often say, “Success in the drone industry is like climbing Everest with greasy boots.” This partnership underscores our resilience and commitment to innovation alongside key partners like NASA, the FAA Beyond Program, US Utilities, and more.
In 2025, we’re expanding our efforts to provide comprehensive tools for wildfire prevention, active mapping, and post-fire recovery. We’re excited to build a safer, more resilient future—creating jobs, preserving natural landscapes, and protecting our communities.
