Supporting Drone Competitiveness For Public Safety Missions

The following are introductory remarks delivered by Michael Robbins, Chief Advocacy Officer, at AUVSI's webinar on, Supporting Drone Competitiveness For Public Safety Missions": There has been a bit of passionate discussion in our community of late about what AUVSI is for, and what AUVSI is against, on some key policy matters. I want to take a moment to set the record straight, and let you hear this directly from AUVSI, instead of through the interpretation of others.  

Understanding the Wind is Critical to Successful Trace Gas Research

The Earth Systems Observation Group, part of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), conducts field campaigns that attempt to characterize methane leaks from oil and gas infrastructure. This initiative also considers methane emissions from dairies and other biogenic sources using sensor arrays equipped with trace gas analyzers, sonic anemometers, and other meteorological sensors. The data obtained by these sensors enables the team to leverage physics-based models to improve field sampling methods, and vice versa. These efforts serve to characterize the movement and interactions of emissions in the atmosphere and, in turn, the potential effects that they might have on the environment.

A nation-first trial using automated vessels to target illegal fishing is set to take place off Western Australia's coast.

The two uncrewed marine vessels, known as Bluebottles, will capture real-time activity in waters off Jurien Bay and Two Rocks in a 30-day trial conducted by Parks Australia. The 22-foot vessels look similar to a small yacht, but their purpose will focus on the protection and surveillance of WA's coastline. Federal Minister for Environment and Water Tanya Plibersek said the trial would be used to target illegal fishing activity.
