project goals
As part of the FAA’s UAS Integration Pilot Program and subsequent BEYOND program, Drone America partnered with state and local government to demonstrate drones in public safety. In Reno, Nevada, we worked with the FAA-designated test site and the City of Reno to deploy drones for emergency response scenarios. One notable operation involved using a Drone America UAV to deliver an automated external defibrillator (AED) to a simulated cardiac arrest incident faster than a ground team could – showcasing life-saving potential. We also assisted Reno’s Fire Department in wildfire monitoring and river rescue exercises, flying drones beyond visual line of sight to stream real-time data to first responders
the result
These projects with the FAA have helped inform regulatory progress and proved the value of UAS in daily public sector operations.
