Application of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to Support Disaster Response and Recovery Efforts
PI Brent Terwilliger
This continuing research project features detailed examination of legal, procedural, and technological requirements, advancements, and constraints affecting how UAS can best be applied to support disaster response and recovery efforts. Through review of evolving UAS regulatory requirements, best practices, technological advancements, and comparison to conventional means, alternative methods may be identifiable to augment and improve emergency response efforts. Better understanding the complexities of the response environment and available options, will better support future actions.
