Looking forward to networking

Howdy, all. I have drone service business and also a member of Search and Support San Antonio in Ground and UAS operations.

I'm curious how many other SAR units work "recovery" operations, more so than rescue, or offer support to LE regarding MPs with possible homicide or family violence indicated?

And...is anybody planning to attend the ExpoUAV/Public Safety Sector in Las Vegas?

Hi everyone,

My name is Rachel and I’m originally from Louisville, KY but I attend Estern Kentucky University in Richmond, KY.

I’m a senior, graduating this December, majoring in Homeland Security with minors in Disaster Management and UAS. Currently interning with Lexington-Fayette Emergency Management for the summer. In addition to my FAA Part 107 Certificate, I have a several FEMA IS certifications.

Focus Areas:

• Public Safety

• UAS - DJI Mavic Enterprise

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the group and wanted to introduce myself. I’m located just north of Washington, D.C., near Damascus, MD.

I’ve been an FAA Part 107 remote pilot since early 2020. For the past three years, I've served with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) as an sUAS Mission Pilot, Instructor, Check Pilot, and Group sUAS Officer. I also operate as an airborne Mission Observer and aerial photographer in crewed aircraft. Because of that dual perspective, I see massive potential for sUAS to reduce operational costs and risks while serving as a powerful force multiplier for ground and crewed teams.

My primary focus areas include:

• Joint Ops & Situational Awareness: Integrating sUAS with traditional aircraft and ground teams, including leveraging live-video feeds for real-time situational awareness.

• Advanced Imaging: Utilizing thermal imaging, 3D scanning with platforms like the Skydio X10, and AI-driven color anomaly and object detection.
