The WingtraRAY has been added to the Green UAS Cleared List of the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International, or AUVSI. In a press release issued Thursday, AUVSI said that the inclusion of the drone to the list means that it complies with cybersecurity and National Defense Authorization Act supply chain regulations under the Department of Defense and Executive Order 14307, “Unleashing American Drone Dominance.”
What Is the WingtraRAY?
The WingtraRAY is a drone built for survey professionals and is designed to handle high-demand operations. The drone can fly safely over people, capture detailed maps with high-quality sensors, and make it easy to manage and use the data it collects.
What Is the Green UAS Cleared List?
The Green UAS Cleared List helps industry stakeholders determine if a commercial drone is safe and secure to use. When a non-military drone on the list gets a military sponsor, it can also be part of the Department of Defense’s Blue UAS list, which is the military’s official list of approved drones. Manufacturers of individual drone parts can also be reviewed and considered for inclusion on the Blue UAS list if they share their information with AUVSI.
Remarks From AUVSI’s Casie Ocana
Commenting of the addition of WingtraRAY to the list, Casie Ocana, vice president of public affairs and certifications at AUVSI, said, “With the WingtraRAY now Green UAS cleared, surveyors, government agencies, and contractors have access to a secure, high-performance platform ready for deployment today, not months or years down the line. It’s another step forward in our mission to build a resilient, trusted uncrewed systems ecosystem.”
