1 THE STATE OF UAS A Brief Overview of UAS Integration and its Capabilities

2 WHAT WE LL COVER: Introduction Types of UAS Current FAA Position Obstacles for FAA Applications UAS as a GIS tool

3 INTRODUCTION USMC B.S. Geography, Minor in Regional Planning Tioga County GIS, Director Wildlife Specialists Remote Intelligence

4 CATEGORIES Hobby Toys Model Aircraft (AMA) Commercial Marketing Environmental Agriculture Public Safety -Engineering -Cinematography -Emergency Services Military Surveillance -Targeting

5 TYPES OF UAS Two main types Fixed Wing Longer flight time More integrated sensors Allows larger area coverage, increase in size of aircraft VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) Less flight time Larger battery Allows for hovering and confined space access

13 Mapping Infrastructure New roads, developments, utilities, manholes, urban tree inventory APPLICATIONS

14 Public Safety Events, Emergency response, reconnaissance APPLICATIONS

15 Precision Agriculture Crop health, soil moisture, crop scouting, crop insurance APPLICATIONS

16 Pipelines & Well Pads E&S, mapping, inspections APPLICATIONS

17 Job Sites & Stockpiles Measure volume, 3D Terrain APPLICATIONS

18 Media Marketing, events, news, cinematography APPLICATIONS

19 CURRENT FAA POSITION If I fly my UAV for business purposes, such as new technology development, am I required to get approval from the FAA? Yes. There are presently two main methods of gaining FAA approval for flying UAS: Certificates of Waiver or Authorization (COA) for public aircraft. Section 333 Exemption

20 CURRENT FAA POSITION COAs are available to public entities that want to fly a UAS in civil airspace. Common uses today include law enforcement, firefighting, border patrol, disaster relief, search and rescue FAA conducts a comprehensive operational and technical review. If necessary, provisions or limitations may be imposed as part of the approval to ensure the UAS can operate safely with other airspace users. In most cases, FAA will provide a formal response within 60 days from the time a completed application is submitted.

21 UAS AS A TOOL GPS once had a beginning Over time technology improved There has been an increasing demand for near instant, GIS grade aerial imagery UAS Technology has improved as well as sensor technology Military has led the way in development (Maveric and larger UAS) Commercial use hampered by FAA due to 9/11 Technology became more affordable

22 UAS AS A TOOL The key is pairing the sensor technology with an airframe Fly low (400 +/-) very high resolution (2cm GSD +/- or 2-4cm horizontal) ASPRS Horizontal Accuracy Class II and III High percentage of sidelap and endlap enable for dense pointclouds- 3D modeling Full Motion Video (FMV) can be integrated into GIS for heads up digitizing from the video frame

23 UAS AS A TOOL Basic Project Process Field check and GC capturing Select airframe and sensor needed Pre-mission planning and set up mission control

24 UAS AS A TOOL Basic Project Process Pre-Flight Safety Check Launch Collect imagery Input GCP and Data into Pix4D

25 UAS AS A TOOL Basic Project Process Pix4D Generates point cloud and Orthomosaic Techs conduct QC on edgematching, coloring, and oblique tile replacement

26

28

29 UAS AS A TOOL Create data with high resolution, extremely current, and very accurate ortho-rectified imagery GIS, CAD, LAS

30 UAS - ENERGY INDUSTRY TOOL The Energy Industry uses LOTS of technology from beginning to end ongoing monitoring Gas Production- Surveyors, excavators, rig/pad development, drilling, completion, monitoring

31 UAS - ENERGY INDUSTRY TOOL Pipeline Construction- Surveyors, Excavation, Installation, E&S Monitoring

32 UAS - ENERGY INDUSTRY TOOL Wind Farm- Site selection, Installation, Turbine maintenance

33 UAS - ENERGY INDUSTRY TOOL Solar Site selection, Surveyors, excavation, solar panel maintenance
