Simplify Surveillance of Precious Infrastructure

Relieve Pilots for Dull, Dirty & Dangerous Missions

Monitoring a pipeline is too dull for manned aircraft. Insitu UAS simplify infrastructure surveillance. One hub can maintain, launch and retrieve aircraft for multiple spokes:

• Handoff aircraft control to a spoke to conduct monitoring.
• Pass control back to the hub for retrieval and maintenance.

The spoke benefits from a low-cost tactical ISR asset without the logistics concerns.

ScanEagle imagery from a routine mission reveals a tanker siphoning from an oil pipeline. ScanEagle follows the tanker to discover 10 additional tankers. Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 2 leads Marines on the ground, who capture and take the tankers into custody. (July 2007)
