Main Objective
The objective of this research project is to validate the performance of a complete end-to-end system, operating on a long-range, long-endurance unmanned aircraft that operates over hundreds of miles of pipeline ROW providing automated multi-threat ROW monitoring and surveillance through remote sensing systems. The project will generate data from multiple sensors deployed on aerial patrol in supporting pipeline performance and safety improvement programs. It will also provide data of value to the FAA with respect to the integration of long-range UASs into the National Airspace System.
