Help Us Make a Difference with UAS and Avanced Aviation.
Airborne International Response Team
MISSION: To help partners create UAS response capacity through preparedness workshops, educational events, and direct deployments.
Launched in 2017, the Airborne International Response Team (AIRT) is our flagship program that works with domestic and international partners across all sectors to advance the use of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) for emergency response, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief (HA/DR).
Our emergency response flight teams have deployed to various complex emergencies and disasters, including aircraft collisions, high-profile crime scenes, hurricane impacts, structure collapses, wildfires, and more. The experience gained during these deployments and our collaboration with regional partners both domestically and internationally provide the foundation of the knowledge base from which we share.
