Session: Unmanned Aerial Systems – Tribal Implementation

Description: Unmanned aerial systems (UAS), sometimes referred to as drones, are multi-use aircraft controlled from a licensed operator on the ground. The benefits of UAS are wide ranging and impact nearly all aspects of highway transportation-replacing boots on the ground, increasing accuracy, speeding up data collection, and providing access to hard-to-reach locations.
