Silver Fox rests on the pneumatic launcher at the U.S. Forest
Service’s Johnston Ridge Observatory October 2004. ACR
volunteered to fly several of its unmanned aerial vehicles

about Mount Saint Helens. The USGS has never employed UAVs
to do the dull, dirty and dangerous work they now use helicopters
and stationary sensors to gather. |
