UAS Digital Insights

At AiRXOS, we are driven by a number of fundamental beliefs regarding the future manned/un-manned ecosystem that most simply refer to as the ‘UTM-ecosystem’. First and foremost: “The safety and security of the National Airspace System (NAS) should never be compromised”. Each operator and operation must subscribe to “maintaining the strength of the chain”.

Whether detecting pin-hole leaks or corrosion, inspecting the integrity of flare stacks or monitoring pipelines, critical oil & gas infrastructure inspections today are performed by foot, helicopter, and Unmanned Aircraft (UA), more commonly known as drones. Of these three approaches, UA aerial inspections provide the greatest productivity and safety impact because they can acquire more accurate digital and thermal imagery quickly, be deployed to hazardous areas, and can identify safety issues not seen by the human eye. 

A Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) waiver from the FAA is highly sought after and many believe difficult to get approved.  Some in the industry call it the unicorn of waivers.  In reality, it is a highly complex operation that requires very detailed safety and risk assessment and testing along with top-notch equipment. Safety is paramount with aviation operations, and advanced drone operations are no different, except with BVLOS, ensuring safety becomes even more arduous.
