Aerial support for coordinated searches involving missing, endangered, or vulnerable individuals.

When organizations need additional capability
Your mission. Additional perspective.
Public-safety and community organizations do not always have access to the personnel, equipment, or specialized UAS resources needed for every circumstance.
Guardian UAS exists to help close that capability gap through responsible unmanned-aircraft support, education, coordination, and preparedness initiatives for emergency operations, exercises, training requirements, and community missions.
Request supportHow support works
A clear path from request to coordinated support.
The process is designed to establish context, assess whether a request is appropriate, and set realistic expectations before action is taken.
Request
An authorized representative shares the organization, general mission area, location, and appropriate point of contact.
Assess
Guardian considers the stated need, timing, safety, operating environment, airspace, available resources, applicable requirements, and operational feasibility.
Coordinate
If the request is appropriate to advance, Guardian and the requesting organization clarify responsibilities, timelines, constraints, and mission expectations.
Support
When appropriate, available, and authorized, Guardian personnel and resources support the mutually agreed mission or initiative.
Training & preparedness
Capability begins before the mission.
Training and education are central to Guardian’s mission. Guardian’s training focus emphasizes responsible adoption, clear operating expectations, and readiness built through education and exercises.
