Welcome to Cooperative Unmanned Systems Laboratory (CUSL)

2021 UAS Integration for Fire Operation Workshop (KU)

Introduction

The goal of our workshop is to bring together UAS developers and operators, prescribed fire operators, wildfire fighters, and emergency response agency for idea exchange and discussions on how we can integrate new UAS technology to both wildfire fighting and prescribed fire operations.

Time: 8:45 AM – 15:30 PM CDT, 2021/11/17(Wednesday)

Sponsor: USDA-NIFA National Robotics Initiative Grant, NSF Smart & Connected Community Grant
