00:06.920 --> 00:09.520
Every day across the US Army Corps of

00:09.520 --> 00:11.640
Engineers pilots take to the skies .

00:14.279 --> 00:16.760
Not with jets , but with unmanned

00:16.760 --> 00:20.040
aircraft systems or UAS . We know our

00:20.040 --> 00:22.440
flight area , checked all the rotors

00:22.440 --> 00:26.370
here . You might spot

00:26.370 --> 00:28.680
them launching from levees , dams , or

00:28.680 --> 00:31.200
construction zones . Small unmanned

00:31.200 --> 00:33.720
aircraft flown by highly trained crews

00:33.720 --> 00:35.880
capturing critical aerial data that

00:35.880 --> 00:38.520
helps Uace deliver safer , faster , and

00:38.520 --> 00:40.353
more precise results . But these

00:40.353 --> 00:42.409
missions are never as simple as just

00:42.409 --> 00:43.464
take off and fly .

00:47.860 --> 00:50.200
Uh , so this is a flight plan . Follow

00:50.200 --> 00:52.367
those lines back and forth and collect

00:52.367 --> 00:55.229
images once a second . Before each

00:55.229 --> 00:57.229
flight , our teams build a detailed

00:57.229 --> 00:59.118
mission plan , checking weather ,

00:59.189 --> 01:01.078
reviewing airspace restrictions ,

01:01.078 --> 01:03.133
inspecting equipment , and assessing

01:03.133 --> 01:05.300
every possible risk . We do need to be

01:05.300 --> 01:07.356
mindful of the different things that

01:07.356 --> 01:09.522
are around us . We're also going to be

01:09.522 --> 01:11.689
asking you what the battery power left

01:11.689 --> 01:13.967
is . Safety is always our top priority .

01:13.967 --> 01:16.189
Every mission is planned and flown with

01:16.189 --> 01:18.022
strict adherence to Army and FAA

01:18.022 --> 01:20.245
regulations keeping both the public and

01:20.245 --> 01:22.133
our personnel safe . It's careful

01:22.133 --> 01:24.339
methodical work because these aircraft

01:24.339 --> 01:26.450
support projects that directly impact

01:26.450 --> 01:28.580
public safety , infrastructure , and

01:28.580 --> 01:31.019
national security . Unmanned aircraft

01:31.019 --> 01:33.739
give us a new perspective whether we're

01:33.739 --> 01:35.940
tracking construction , inspecting

01:35.940 --> 01:39.169
flood barriers . Or guiding emergency

01:39.169 --> 01:41.769
response . In this type of disaster

01:41.769 --> 01:44.250
environment we can really cover a lot

01:44.250 --> 01:46.769
of area faster than sending boots on

01:46.769 --> 01:48.970
the ground out there . And with fewer

01:48.970 --> 01:51.129
boots on the ground , we reduce risk

01:51.129 --> 01:53.449
while saving time and money . That's

01:53.449 --> 01:55.449
the heart of the National Aviation

01:55.449 --> 01:57.970
program using smart aerial tools to

01:57.970 --> 01:59.800
solve complex challenges .

02:02.089 --> 02:03.867
But it doesn't stop at unmanned

02:03.867 --> 02:07.639
aircraft . The

02:07.639 --> 02:10.029
program also includes crude aviation

02:10.320 --> 02:12.399
aircraft that transport teams and

02:12.399 --> 02:15.190
equipment to remote sites . Support

02:15.190 --> 02:17.130
disaster relief and partner with

02:17.130 --> 02:19.190
military units on national security

02:19.190 --> 02:22.149
missions . Together our uncrude and

02:22.149 --> 02:24.630
crude capabilities form a full spectrum

02:24.630 --> 02:27.210
aviation team that supports civil works ,

02:27.589 --> 02:30.929
emergency response . And the warfighter

02:32.229 --> 02:34.429
We also train other agencies , shape

02:34.429 --> 02:36.869
national aviation policy , and push

02:36.869 --> 02:38.910
innovation forward , keeping USA

02:38.910 --> 02:41.110
compliant , efficient and ready for

02:41.110 --> 02:44.009
whatever mission comes next . From

02:44.009 --> 02:47.009
takeoff to touchdown , the mission is

02:47.009 --> 02:50.600
clear . Fly smart , fly safe , deliver

02:50.600 --> 02:51.490
for the nation .
