| Abstract | This paper provides information to Forest Service leadership about how the agency could use unmanned aircraft across different programs, especially in program areas where aircraft use is currently limited. It draws from published uses of unmanned aircraft as well as conversations with peer federal agencies that have established unmanned aircraft programs, including the Department of the Interior (DOI) headquarters and two of its bureaus: the National Park Service (NPS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). |
