From Certification to Takeoff

Oregon State University (OSU) faculty are using aerial, land-based and on-water/underwater unmanned systems in their research. The applications span several market sectors: precision agriculture, geomatics and surveying, geology, ocean and atmospheric science, forestry, robotics, environmental monitoring and remote sensing.

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are invaluable tools for uses ranging from data collection to film production. For this reason, interested OSU faculty, staff, and students must obtain proper authorization of their Part 107 certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct their UAS operations. OSU will work with faculty and students to conduct flights - check out the FAQ section for more information on flying for OSU.
