NASA Partners with AIRT/DRONERESPONDERS to Advance Automated Air Safety Systems for the National Airspace of Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Join us for this DRONERESPONDERS Special Event Webinar as we take an inside look at the Blue UAS program. You'll hear directly from the people responsible for the Blue UAS program, managers from the Autonomy Portfolio at the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), a United States Department of Defense (DoD) organization founded to help the U.S. military make faster use of emerging commercial technologies.

The Airborne Public Safety Association (APSA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with over 50 years of experience supporting public safety aviation, and the Airborne International Response Team (AIRT), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization supporting the use of drones and robotic systems for public safety and disaster response, have entered into an agreement of cooperation to support the implementation of the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) Test Methods for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) to enhance safety and remote pilot proficiency surrounding public safety drone operations.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a premier aviation and aerospace institution today announced a partnership with the Airborne International Response Team (AIRT), the leading 501(c)3 non-profit organization supporting the use of unmanned systems for public safety and disaster response to collaborate on education and research exploring how first responders are deploying small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) within the National Airspace System (NAS).

The Airborne International Response Team (AIRT), the leading 501(c)3 non-profit organization supporting the use of unmanned systems for public safety and disaster response – and official home of DRONERESPONDERS® - has announced the City of Atlanta Police Department (APD) will serve as the official host agency for the DRONERESPONDERS Public Safety UAS Summit at AUVSI XPONENTIAL from August 16-19 at the Georgia World Congress Center.

The Airborne International Response Team (AIRT), the leading 501(c)3 organization supporting Drones For Good™ for emergencies and disaster response – and official home of DRONERESPONDERS, today announced a combined initiative to develop a global, geo-referenced database of public safety unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) programs and emergency response remote pilots.

Parrot, a leading European drone group, is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Miami, Florida-based Airborne International Response Team (AIRT), the leading 501(c)3 non-profit organization supporting Drones For Good™ and the official home of DRONERESPONDERS, the world’s fastest-growing program supporting the use of UAS by public safety and emergency services organizations across the U.S. and around the globe.

Parrot will support the disaster response and humanitarian missions of AIRT and the public safety testing conducted by DRONERESPONDERS with donations of both financial support as well as Parrot’s most advanced drone technology. . Available in August 2020, the Parrot ANAFI USA futures an industry-first 32x zoom, 4K HDR video and thermal imaging capabilities, ANAFI USA is an ultraportable, secure and durable aerial camera platform.

The Airborne International Response Team (AIRT), the leading 501(c)3 non-profit organization supporting Drones For Good™ and the official home of DRONERESPONDERS, today launched the Spring 2020 Pubic Safety unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) survey.

The 2nd edition of the AIRT-DRONERESPONDERS Public Safety UAS Survey contains a series of questions designed to gauge the growth of public safety drone programs over the past year, as well as the potential impact of current news events and other emerging topics facing America’s first responders.

The use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) – commonly known as “drones” – and other robotics are continuing to redefine the way public safety agencies and energy companies work together to recover from disaster and build community resilience. To strengthen these relationships, the Energy Drone & Robotics Coalition (EDRC) today announced an industry partnership with AIRT, the official home of DRONERESPONDERS, the world’s fastest growing non-profit program supporting public safety UAS.

DRONERESPONDERS, the world’s fastest-growing non-profit program supporting public safety UAS and Drones For Good™, has arrived in Latin America. AIRT and APD Humanitario officially unveiled the spanish language-based initiative during a special week-long workshop for emergency services professionals held from January 21-25 in the capital city of Colombia.

The Airborne International Response Team (AIRT), a Miami-based 501(c) non-profit organization that provides public safety and disaster response support capabilities with drone technology, today announced that it has received a grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation, the charitable arm of Motorola Solutions.

Members of the Airborne International Response Team (AIRT), a Miami-based 501(c) non-profit organization that provides unmanned aircraft system (UAS) capabilities for disaster response, teamed up with members of the Southeast Florida Region 7 All-Hazards Incident Management Team (SEFL-R7 AHIMT), a professional All Hazards disaster and emergency management team based out of Southeast, Florida, to form a joint-reconnaissance team to survey damage across the hardest hit areas of the Grand Bahama and the Abaco Islands in the Northern Bahamas.

The DRONERESPONDERS Public Safety Alliance – a 501(c)3 non-profit program of AIRT, Inc. – and the Commercial Drone Alliance, an independent 501(c)6 organization working to collectively merge policy with innovation in the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) industry – today announced a partnership to assist public safety UAS programs in implementing UAS technologies to yield lifesaving benefits.
