FIP-4728KZ - Developing & Implementing an Effective Public Safety UAS Program

Course Description

Creating a Public UAS Program is a complex undertaking. Based on the experience of successful programs, this course was developed and designed to be taught in one-day format for public safety agency Administrators, Incident Commanders, UAS Supervisors and Operators to assist in developing and implementing an effective UAS program.

Just as the UAS is a combination of multiple parts to be fully functional, considerations for a successful UAS program go far beyond choosing the vehicle itself. Creating a UAS program requires governance, policies, and procedures, defined missions, selection of unmanned aircraft and payloads, training/proficiency, data management, maintenance, and thorough documentation of training and flights.
