What we are doing:
Safety: We capitalize on opportunities to acquire capabilities that help agencies conduct their missions more effectively and with less risk.
Support: By participating in working groups, we are helping to develop UAS plans and capability development documents detailing the tactics, techniques, and procedural requirements necessary to support UAS operations.
Oversight: Our teams observe and monitor the use of UAS in the field to confirm compliance with all government policies and ensure that established asset inventory controls are practiced.
Coordination: In collaboration with various stakeholders, we help coordinate UAS airspace requirements for access and scheduling.
Procurement: We develop, prepare, review, and evaluate technical specifications using ISO 9001 QMS processes for UAS.
