SF Drone School Research Center Open House May 6th

SF Drone School Research Center Open House May 6th

We will be hosting an open house as part of this year’s Small Unmanned Systems Business Exposition. The public is invited to come on out to Treasure Island to see live product demonstrations from vendors like DroneDeploy, PropellerAero, Skyefish, Pix4D and others.

This is an opportunity for the public to tour the facilities and see what we do at SFDSRC.

“We offer a wide verity of classes from learning how to build, fly, getting your Part 107 and everything in between. It is all about building a culture of safety and getting drone operators off on the right foot.” – Werner von Stein

While we offer training, we have also expanded into research to validate manufacturers claims as well as application processes and use cases for gathering data with drones.

One of our latest projects includes using a DJI Matrice 100 with FLIR XT camera to look for duck eggs. Werner manufactured a few battery powered control eggs to heat up to the temperature ranges that vary between exposed eggs and those with a duck fresh off of the nest.

“The goal is not to be critical, but to integrate hardware and software solutions to find out what works together or, if there are easier more efficient ways to get the data you are looking for.” – Werner von Stein

Need to test your sUAS/sRPAS system? Why travel to the middle of nowhere when you can be in the middle of it all? Not fond of 120 temperatures, killer bees, per diem and travel costs? Everyone knows how expensive it can be to take the team on the road. That is no longer an issue as we can accommodate and assist your company’s testing and evaluation needs. We have a current FAA Night Waiver, plenty of Part 107 pilots, test directors, liability insurance, and the facilities to provide logistics as well as repairs and storage.
