FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fayetteville, AR – UVT (Unmanned Vehicle Technologies, LLC), a recognized pioneer in enterprise drone and robotics integration, announces the approval of its FAA-Approved National Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) waiver. This waiver empowers docked drone operations—autonomous or manned drones stationed in weatherproof docks for rapid deployment and repeatable missions—up to 200 feet above ground level (AGL) across the United States.
Underscoring UVT's position as a leader in delivering end-to-end drone and robotics workflow integrations, this waiver empowers industries to leverage scalable, efficient, and safe sUAS solutions. By enabling applications such as solar inspections, environmental assessments, and critical infrastructure monitoring, UVT provides organizations with the technology needed to address operational challenges with new efficiency.
Unlocking the Full Potential of BVLOS
Inspections
The FAA’s approval of this waiver, and others like it, demonstrates growing confidence in remote docked drone solutions as a critical component of the future workforce. UVT’s partnership with Enel highlights this potential. By deploying docked drone systems for solar farm inspections, Enel has streamlined operations, reduced manual labor, and improved data accuracy. When paired with an expert implementation team, these solutions free teams to focus on strategic tasks while automating repeatable inspections and monitoring.
Leveraging this waiver with platforms like Above Surveying’s SolarGain for real-time data capture empowers renewable energy operators with insights for strategic planning through live autonomous drone integrations. These capabilities not only enhance efficiency but also provide actionable intelligence to improve asset management and maintain infrastructure health over time.
Perpetual Monitoring
For industries like construction and environmental management, DroneDeploy’s reality capture platform transforms the data captured by autonomous flights into detailed, actionable reports. By unifying aerial imagery with ground data, DroneDeploy enables enterprises to make informed decisions, streamline workflows, and maximize the value of each mission. Together, these tools amplify the power of BVLOS operations, helping businesses across industries adopt autonomous solutions that are not only scalable but also transformative.
Safety and Compliance
UVT’s BVLOS operations are supported by a robust safety framework designed to meet and exceed FAA requirements:
- Geofencing and Real-Time Telemetry: Ensuring all flights stay within designated airspace and providing continuous data on aircraft position, altitude, and movement.
- ADS-B In Technology: Offering airspace awareness and collision avoidance to maintain operational safety.
- Detect And Alert/Avoid (DAA) Technology: For airspace deconfliction.
These measures ensure the safety and reliability of docked drone systems, allowing businesses to adopt BVLOS operations confidently while maintaining regulatory compliance and operational excellence.
Security
UVT’s collaboration with Premier Security further demonstrates the versatility of docked drone solutions in addressing modern challenges across industries. In a recent proof-of-concept initiative at a large industrial site in Detroit, Michigan, UVT partnered with Premier to implement DJI’s Dock 2 and Matrice 3TD systems for commercial security applications. These autonomous drones patrolled expansive areas, providing real-time surveillance and incident response capabilities that enhanced both asset protection and operational efficiency. By integrating UVT’s end-to-end implementation expertise with advanced technology, Premier Security was able to demonstrate how docked drones can complement traditional workforce operations. The initiative highlighted the power of remote operations to mitigate security risks, streamline workflows, and empower teams to focus on higher-value responsibilities while drones handled routine monitoring tasks.
Leaning on UVT’s extensive experience in docked drone installations, the FAA is laying the groundwork for safe, repeatable remote operations that will shape tomorrow’s industries.
