"The addition of the high quality images from the Aeryon SkyRanger are invaluable to this search and rescue mission," states Coggin. "We hope that the efforts of everyone involved can be brought to conclusion soon."
The Aeryon SkyRanger is the first sUAS to be used by a police agency in the state of Virginia. The small size, robust flight characteristics, and high performance imaging capabilities of Aeryon sUAS have enabled authorities to extend their search activities into terrain that other search and rescue technologies have not been able to reach, including manned helicopters, according to the company.
Aeryon Labs' President and CEO Dave Kroetsch commented, "We are honored that SkyRanger has been selected by the Albemarle County Police Department for this critical and urgent search. Our thoughts and prayers are with Hannah Graham and her family for her safe and prompt return."
The Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership is headquartered within the Institute of Critical Technology and Applied Science at Virginia Tech. Its test range comprises air space in Virginia, New Jersey, and Maryland.
