- Activities
- The grantee will help develop and validate standard test methods for drones that can be used to evaluate system capabilities and remote pilot proficiency. They will provide technical expertise and use cases from public safety and emergency response organizations interested in using such standards to support purchasing decisions, focus training, and evaluate levels of remote pilot proficiency for credentialing. This will help prioritize test methods for the standardization process.
- Expected outcomes
- This grant will produce a series of draft test methods for balloting through the astm international standards committee on homeland security applications; response robots (E54.09). Also, potentially new use cases from public safety and emergency response organizations with thresholds of acceptable performance in each test method for various aircraft based on their intended missions, airspace restrictions, and environmental conditions.
- Intended beneficiaries
- The beneficiaries will be public safety and emergency response organizations nationwide who will use the resulting test methods to guide procurements and train with measures of remote pilot proficiency. The public will also benefit as emergency response organizations become equipped with better life-saving tools and tactics, along with standards-based credentialing that will facilitate mutual aid at large scale disasters.
