'The USGS National Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Project Office utilizes UAS technology for collecting remote sensing data on a local scale. Typical UAS projects encompass areas that are too large to cover on foot and too small for traditional aircraft missions. The flexibility of operations and relative low cost of UAS allow scientists to support a range of activities including monitoring environmental conditions, analyzing the impacts of climate changes, responding to natural hazards, understanding landscape change rates and consequences, conducting fire assessments, tracking wildlife inventories, aiding search and rescue, and supporting related land management and emergency response missions. The USGS EROS Center manages and distributes data for the UAS Project Office. '
High resolution photographs and video can be acquired in areas of the United States that were previously too expensive or too dangerous to monitor. Additional geospatial products can be generated from the raw data to meet the needs of the scientific research and public safety communities. Derived products include orthophotographs, point cloud data, and Digital Elevation Models (DEM). Support documents for UAS projects are also available.

'The USGS National Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Project Office was created in May of 2008 to orchestrate an effective evaluation and transfer of UAS technology into the Department of the Interior\'s (DOI) decision making toolbox. We rely heavily on the lessons learned from many different sources of actual UAS experiences and recommendations including other governmental agencies, state and local entities and academia.'

'The USGS UAS Project Office and the Office of Aviation Services (OAS) are leading the development and testing of UAS scientific and resource management technology across the Department of the Interior (DOI), in coordination with the other bureaus. DOI UAS capabilities support a range of activities including scientific research, monitoring environmental conditions, analyzing the impacts of climate changes, responding to natural hazards, understanding landscape change rates and consequences, conducting wildland fire assessments, wildlife inventories, supporting search and rescue, and supporting related land management and emergency response missions. The Project office is also working across the federal government and with academia on the evaluation of UAS capabilities.'
