Advanced Applied UAV/Drone Use: sUAS: Tools for Public Safety Research
Friday, 03/09/2018: 8:15 am – 9:30 am
Room: N320A
Session Number: F09
Take an in-depth look at how Fire and Search & Rescue Personnel can incorporate UAV into their workflow. Examine successful implementations of UAV use for government infrastructure and public safety, such as finding lost hikers, locating a lost senior citizen or tracking a fugitive. Get an overview of cost and time savings, policy considerations as well as assessing a scene and its threats from the air before deploying resources to save resources while keeping your crew out of harm’s way. Understand the efficiency of using a sUAS deployment to identify threats with real-time video, explore thermal imaging for S&R, and review obstacles and threats that would have previously delayed operations.
