Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
The mission of the City of Fulton’s Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) program is to provide aerial support and assistance to support City of Fulton operations and to requesting municipalities and/or public safety agencies with their missions and requirements. UAS’s serve to supplement air operations and are an excellent cost-effective tool, allowing for a fast deployment of aerial support when manned aircraft are unavailable or the mission is too dangerous.
