Date/Time: Wednesday, July 27th at 3:00 – 4:00 pm EDT

Webinar Description:
Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are increasingly turning to drone technology to supplement critical infrastructure inspections. From bridge and construction inspections to post-incident damage assessments, the use of drones is helping transportation agencies improve safety, accelerate decision-making, and enhance asset maintenance.

Section 25005 of the recently passed $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA) authorizes a $500 million program known as the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grant Program. With the launch of this program, there is a massive opportunity for projects leveraging UAS technology to support transportation safety and efficiencies, including infrastructure inspections, to receive eligibility for SMART grant funds.

Join Skydio’s product experts in a deep dive to learn more about how Skydio’s autonomous drones, obstacle avoidance, and ability to operate in GPS-denied environments are enabling DOT’s to receive eligibility for the SMART Grant Program and scale critical infrastructure inspections.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss:

• The challenges of today’s manual inspection workflows and the benefits to leveraging drone technology
• Why autonomous drones, powered by AI and computer vision, offer significant advantages
• The value Skydio customers are getting out of the technology and how they’re using it

Speakers:

• David Buhrman - Senior Solutions Engineer, Skydio
• Sean Nordstrom - Product Marketing Manager, Skydio
• Ryan Marlow - UAS Program Coordinator, Statewide Aviation at AKDOT
