2. INTRODUCTION Paul D. Brooks, CFO, MIFireE Principal, Brooks Innovative Solutions CPSE CEO/Executive Director, Retired Assistant Fire Chief (Ret.) Greensboro (NC) Fire Department (336) 707-5087 pbrooks@BrooksIS.com Identifying INNOVATION and raising its visibility and use throughout our industry for the benefit of our communities through awareness and training.

3. Credentials for Discussing UAV? Police Foundation, National Advisory Committee – 2015; “Community Policing and Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Guidelines to Enhance Community Trust.” sUAS Owner – Phantom 3 Standard by DJI Member, Academy of Model Aeronautics

4. Rapidly Evolving “Disruptive” Technology Trunked Multi- and Simulcast Radio Systems Mobile Devices Cellular Technology – Telephone Mobile Phone Cell Phone The Smart Phone The Internet Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Systems! “....a product that will completely transform a market and potentially make former products obsolete.”

5. DRONES Orientation Navigation

6. Community Reaction to “Drones”

7. Do not trust government Fear violations of privacy rights Fear weaponization Fear of injury to person or property Opposed to use for surveillance More supportive when used for officer safety Strongly supports use in search and rescue scenarios

8. Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) …the sUAS Operation and Certification NPRM* proposed a definition of “small unmanned aircraft system (small UAS)” as “a small unmanned aircraft and its associated elements (including communication links and the components that control the small unmanned aircraft) that are required for the safe and efficient operation of the small unmanned aircraft in the national airspace system.” Aircraft less than 55 pounds. * Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

9. Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) Extremely Rapid Growth in Use Manufactures revenues from sales growing at 2-3X annually. FAA expected 1 Mil. Drone sales Christmas of 2015 as reported by Fortune and Forbes Magazines Registration of sUAS Began in December 2015 In first 30 days, nearly 300,000 hobby owners/users registered

13. REAL LIFE

15. National Airspace System Requirements to operate in National Airspace System Licensed Pilot Certified and Registered (N#) Aircraft Operational Approval

16. Regulatory Issues Constitutional Considerations State Legislation Restricting sUAS use FAA Regulation New Rules are being developed (Notice of Proposed Rule Making) Congress exempted model aircraft from new rules or regulations provided the aircraft are operated "in accordance with a community- based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization." Private sector (civil) users can obtain an experimental airworthiness certificate to conduct research and development, training and flight demonstrations. Commercial operators may apply for a 333 Exemption to perform commercial operations in low-risk, controlled environments. Commercial UAS operations are limited and require the operator to have certified aircraft and pilots, as well as operating approval. Public entities (federal, state and local governments, and public universities) may apply for a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA).

17. Constitutional Considerations Fourth Amendment Concerns Reasonable Expectation of Privacy (RXP) First Amendment Concerns Freedom of speech Freedom to peaceably assemble Additional Federal Law Areas of Concern Electronic Communications Privacy Act – intercepting and collecting WiFi data. HIPPA – for on-duty personnel involved in the treatment of patients; concerns for patient privacy and record retention, etc. Disclaimer: I’m Not A Lawyer! Consult Your Attorney!!

18. State Legislation Restricting sUAS Use Between 2013 and 2015, 27 States enacted UAS legislation. 17 states have specifically limited law enforcement use of sUAS.* Most restrictions reference privacy and civil rights concerns. Many provide for exceptions to restrictions for use in terrorist activity, public and officer safety, use for firefighting or search & rescue purposes. Restrictions may require a warrant to be obtained prior to use. *Source – National Conference of State Legislatures.

19. Certificate of Authorization (CoA) Public entities, which include publically funded universities, law enforcement, fire departments and other government agencies, may currently apply for a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) from the FAA in order to use small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) in public aircraft operations. Must prove you are a legal public entity – can not be self- certified. Public aircraft operations must be conducted for a public purpose. Issued for a specific period of time, usually two years. Contains specific provisions such as purpose for flights, defined block of airspace, operator and crew training and certification, and time of day. CoA’s are usually issued for training first, then for full operations.

20. CoA Specific Provisions Minimum trained crew of two, the operator (pilot) and an observer. Pilot must have a minimum of successful completion of FAA pilot ground school, demonstrated training and proficiency with approved UAV, and Medical Clearance. Pilots required to fly at least three flights in any 90 day period to remain proficient. UAV must be registered and assigned an N#. Restricted to daytime flights. Restricted to Line of Sight flight operations. Generally restricted to 400’ (AGL). Generally must coordinate with or notify local Air Traffic Control (ATC). Can not fly within five miles of an airport without ATC approval.

21. CoA’s Publicly Released

22. Restricted Airspace

24. NO DRONE ZONE Graphic used to identify “No Drone Zones.” Available as part of a FAA tool kit. Likely used by private property owners, local governments, near airports, and at sensitive facilities.

25. Know Before You Fly! Know Before You Fly was founded by the two leading organizations with a stake in UAS safety – the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is partnering with the founding members to spread the word about safe and responsible flying. http://knowbeforeyoufly.org/

26. ESTIMATED PROGRAM COSTS Acquisition Costs - $1,200-$40,000 40 Hour pilot’s license course - $3000-5,000 – On-line less expensive - $1K to 2K sUAS operation - $2,000 Operation & Maintenance - $25/hr. Housing/Storage – Negligible Insurance - $5,000/yr. Staffing – Agency and program specific

27. What is Coming? Getting smaller! More economical add-ins FLIR NIR or IR Camera Environmental sensing Enhanced GIS navigation and obstruction avoidance to allow flying in buildings See through radar imaging Video analytics Deliverable payloads using sUAS Live Video Streaming through public outlets
