Customer Highlights

"[...] the UAS crew was able to pinpoint the spot and provide precise coordinates to the firefighters who were able to check it out and put it out. That kind of information we would never have without these unmanned aircraft and that capability."

“Type1 UAS platform is a critical tool for us because it provides "eyes in the sky" while we are doing our fire suppression operations. [...] the UAS is the kind of tool that will really help us work toward meeting the objectives quicker.”

"[...] Overwatch Aero tested PMEL’s science payloads onboard the hybrid FVR-90 Vertical Take Off and Landing - Fixed Wing uncrewed aircraft. Deployment of these science payloads on uncrewed aircraft supports NOAA’s mission to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, the ocean and coasts. [...] the operations moved the team one step further in achieving their ultimate goal of launching the payloads onboard the FVR-90 from NOAA ships to complement surface measurements of aerosol properties."
