A Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Atlantic pilot program has, for the first time, used Unmanned Aerial Surveying (UAS) to assess structures at two Virginia locations. The UAS Pilot Program took flight at the commandâs NSA Hampton Roads Lafayette River Annex (LRA) location, where the used unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology to assess the roofs of historic buildings, as well as facilities at Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek-Fort Story, Virginia. The Department of Defense (DOD) is a primary developer of UAV technology and its uses but has rarely used it for facilities and installation-level work, making NAVFAC Atlanticâs pilot program a pioneering effort.
