Inexpensive Mini UAV Applications for CAP

 Operations will be limited to mission uses from safe locations where members are not exposed to excess risk like SAR and DR activities.  CD and HLS activities in the field where members may be dangerously close to law enforcement activity will not be allowed.  Mission UAV use once coordinated will be approved through the NOC.  Seeking 7 more regional test sites for FY16 Future Mini-UAV Initiatives

 Some wings have indicated that they have state agencies interested in providing CAP mini-UAV resources. CAP is not opposed to supporting these and gaining experience.  Insurance carrier requires the following (must be provided to the CAP/DO and GC):  Size and maximum weight of the UAV  Type of UAV: Fixed wing or Rotary Wing/Copter  Manufacturer, Make and Model  Location of flights  Mission of flights  Training for operators  Insurance carrier may require more Future Mini-UAV Initiatives
