2019 ASHS Annual Conference

The overall goal of the presentation is to introduce attendees to small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS). It is estimated that more than 80% of commercial sUAS users will be in agriculture. This presentation will focus on risk-based information for current and future commercial users of this emerging technology. It will include presentations on aircraft systems and workflow since most initial users are uneasy about the technology. Participants should achieve an improved understanding of flight regulations, types of platforms & sensors, data processing, and potential agricultural uses. Participants will also make improved decisions to match the best sUAS with their needs or operations.
