Description

Back to in-person at the CFI Idea Lab (limited to 50 people) Taco Bar lunch at 11:45, presentation begins at 12:00 Forbes magazine recently noted that “weather” is one of the most searched topics on the internet and pointed out the significant safety and operational advantages gained by accessing professional meteorology services. Drone operations often occur in remote areas without access to airport weather data or pilot reports. How do you know what the winds aloft at 2000’ are? How can you predict the presence and impact of icing? If you are flying beyond visual line of sight, how can you assure you are remaining clear of clouds? What if you could put a weather sensor on a drone? What if you could sense the moisture content of a field from space and optimize planting and irrigation strategies? Join us for the first in person DroneBiz since Covid and hear Don Berchoff from TruWeather Solutions and William Cromarty from Spire Global talk about the groundbreaking work they are doing in the weather arena in partnership with UND’s Research Institute for Autonomous Systems and NASA.
