NOAA's adoption of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) has proven to be a force multiplier in how NOAA field teams address data collection and observations challenges and opportunities. These UAS operations present highly innovative, efficient, capable, and cost effective solutions to acquiring those data compared to traditional survey methodologies. From marine mammal surveys, damage assessment, and coastal mapping to facility inspections, atmospheric profiling, and hurricane research, NOAA UAS efforts are changing the game. As the demand signal for UAS operations increases each year, the UAS Division strives to provide key support in helping grow new programs, facilitate existing mature programs, and build a nimble and evolving community of practice. This discussion will focus on the mission and purpose of the UAS Division, the utility of UAS across the Agency, as well as, showcase a prime example of UAS serving as situational awareness and data collecting tools aboard NOAA vessels provided by LT Shelley Devereaux (NOAA Ship Fairweather).
