UAS Centre of Excellence Press Release | September 11, 2014

Estimated reading time 1 minute, 15 seconds.

The management team of Fly-n-Sense (Bordeaux, France) has announced that the departmental fire and rescue service (SDIS) of Landes (France) is acquiring a new STaFF solution, thus completing the Fly-n-Sense’s unmanned aerial system (UAS) existing and operating equipment.

This latest generation of STaFF solution incorporates the new UAS versions (multirotor and fixed-wing aircraft) equipped with embedded systems and specific software developed by the Gironde society to fight forest fires, capitalizing the field training acquired since the beginning of the STaFF program in 2011.
 
STaFF in Quebec
Following the signature of the trade agreement with the Unmanned Aerial System Center of Excellence (Québec, Canada) at the Bourget Air Show in 2013, Fly-n-Sense will increase their presence in Quebec and are announcing their establishment at the UAS Center of Excellence in 2014.

Their presence on Canadian soil constitutes a genuine asset of development for Fly-n-Sense overseas. Obtaining the permission to fly on North American ground and the establishment of an operational STaFF team of Quebec firefighters were the first phases of the implementation for the start-up pilot operations.
