AECOM provides architecture and design, construction\nmanagement, engineering, and environmental services within the energy,\nhealthcare, and government sectors (among others). The AECOM waiver team is\nlooking to leverage Censys Technologies&#8217; industry knowledge and high approval\nrate as they continue to submit new waivers for future projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With each approval, our waiver team becomes more\nconfident about writing complex waivers,&#8221; said Matt Nanney, mobile\ntechnology and remote sensing manager at AECOM. &#8220;In terms of waivers, 2021\nis the tip of the iceberg for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censys-100-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20619\" width=\"327\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censys-100-1.jpg 512w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censys-100-1-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The AECOM team plans to utilize this waiver for a wide area\nmapping project launched by the Department of Defense (DoD). The area covered\nin the approved submission covers 19.22 square miles. This waiver enables the\nremote pilot-in-command (RPIC) to fly within a 3.3-mile radius, providing seven\ntimes ROI (return on investment) per flight. This calculation is determined by\ncomparing the area of circle with the radius of the visual line of sight (VLOS)\n\u00e2\u0080\u0095 which is a 1.25-mile radius \u00e2\u0080\u0095 to that of the radius listed in the approved\nwaiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am looking forward to all the current and future\npossibilities this will bring to support our clients,&#8221; said Nanney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In discussing AECOM&#8217;s recently approved waiver, CTO and\nWaiver Team Lead John Lobdell highlighted the unique nature of this request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This approved waiver pushes the boundaries,&#8221; said\nLobdell. &#8220;It gives the RPIC more mission capability in a large area\ncompared to other waivers we have gotten approved.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires pilots of\ncommercial drones to maintain a visual line of sight at all times with any\ndrone they are operating, unless they have secured a BVLOS waiver. The Censys\nTechnologies team utilizes its industry expertise and proven technology to help\nget clients&#8217; aircraft in the sky quickly and efficiently for advanced\noperations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team also leverages Censys Technologies&#8217; advanced drone\ntechnology when drafting said waivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Censys Technologies&#8217; Sentaero BVLOS drones have been\nseamlessly equipped with onboard detect-and-avoid technology with both the\nforward-facing electro-optical sensor and an ADS-B receiver. This technology\nallows pilots to be ahead of the curve when it comes to in-flight airspace\ndeconfliction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birthed out of a need for better efficiency, human factors,\nadditional layers of risk mitigation, and the BVLOS Safety Case, the Censys\nTechnologies&#8217; Mobile Command Center was introduced to boost safety protocols\nacross the board. Mentioning the Mobile Command Center has proven to be\ncritical for Censys Technologies&#8217; waiver team, as this technology demonstrates\nthe knowledge and expertise necessary to secure an approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Censys Technologies&#8217; waiver writing\nservice and its mapping and surveying drones, please visit\nhttps:\/\/censystech.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Censys Technologies, with its most recent and largest Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) waiver approval for Architecture, Engineering, Constructions, Operations, and Management (AECOM), has maintained its 100% BVLOS waiver approval rate.
