Hi All,
I wanted to introduce myself to the group. I’m based in Westchester County, NY, and am looking to connect with and learn from this community as I work toward supporting regional public safety and emergency management agencies.
My background started in the RC helicopter world back in 2009, and later transitioned into commercial sUAS operations. I run a drone services company, Flightlutions, where my technical focus is primarily on aerial thermal imaging, high-contrast heat signature detection, night operations, and deployments across both wilderness and urban environments. Alongside my aviation experience, my professional background is in Enterprise IT Management, which helps me approach drone operations with a strict focus on data security, governance, and technical systems. I am an ITC Level 1 Thermographer, a Part 107 Remote Pilot, and have completed foundational FEMA ICS training.
My goal is to learn best practices for mission deployment, understand agency integration requirements,…
Hello Folks, I'm Gary Bonneau with Alpha Team K9 Search and Rescue for the last 10 years. We're located in the Atlanta area and cover about 3-4 hour radius. The K9 side of the team has been around for about 23 years. I added the drone side of the team about 8 years ago, both aerial and underwater. We find the combination of K9s and drones to be powerful.
Looking forward to learning how to better use these resources and grow the drone side.
Hi all! Welcome to the working group! Please make sure you get signed up for the webinar tomorrow evening! Come with any questions you may have!
