About this file
This is an Amendment document from the State of Tennessee Department of Military for Event 34101-13702, a Bird Survey project dated August 20, 2025. The amendment addresses specific questions and clarifications regarding the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or drones during survey activities on a military installation. The key clarifications include permission to use drones, with specific requirements that they must be American-made and operated by a contractor with proper licensing.
The amendment outlines three critical operational parameters for drone usage: (1) drones are permitted for survey activities, (2) only American-made drones are allowed, and contractors must have appropriate licensing, and (3) a formal approval process is required, including submitting flight plans to the Natural Resource Manager at least 48 hours in advance and obtaining equipment approval. Additionally, there are restrictions on drone operations, with certain areas being off-limits during specific times due to training activities and pesticide spraying. The contractor will need to submit a copy of their drone operation license after contract award.

1 Use of UAS on Installation Property: Are drones permitted for use in support of survey activities on the installation?
Yes

Also, we will require equipment approval.
