NOAA’s fleet of 10 aircraft operate throughout the year to support NOAA’s diverse science missions.
NOAA’s fleet of 10 aircraft operate throughout the year to support NOAA’s diverse science missions.
NOAA scientists are always looking for ways to increase their ability to collect data and meet NOAA mission requirements, One way to enhance this ability is to fly uncrewed aircraft operations beyond visual line of sight.
Science teams across NOAA use uncrewed systems to augment the capabilities of traditional data-gathering tools to meet NOAA mission needs.
