A Freefly Alta 8 would be a good start for hauling a large payload. Most large UASs require a pilot and sensor operator, but I imagine there are GPS autopilot alternatives. If you don't care about portability or cost, the best solution I've thought of for this is to get a high performance fixed wing. You would most likely have to hire someone to build it for you, although there are some companies that make them. From my limited research I've found: http://www.ukrspecsystems.com/pd-1-3/. I think an ideal balance between loiter time, portability, and payload capacity could be built modeled after something like the RQ-11 Raven that the Army uses.
Fine job, guys, explaining it all in such fabulously great detail.
I bet the terrorists, foreign and domestic, are rubbing their hands in glee.
Get a handle on your OPSEC, people; and BTW, look up the legalities involved in flying armed drones, too.
I shouldn't even have to mention this stuff.

Hi,
Why not get a drone that could not only reduce hog locating time but actually reduce the hog(s) lol...
Here is one from my last Ukraine visit that would work....
Sincerely,

Not really, just giving you an out.Making fun of my meds is sooo low...
I'm truly sorry you chose to take this personally, Capt. Bill; you've been one of my icons. Up until this exchange. The profanity doesn't help, either.
And yes, you never mentioned armed drones or posted any pictures of them either; but such a picture is posted in this topic and is part and parcel of what you have chosen to defend, even using the first instances of profanity I can recall ever seeing you employ here. You represent yourself oddly, friend. The fact that drone marketing is a vested interest of yous is actually commendable, but this topic is probably not the best way to go about that. IMHO.
And please correct me if armed drones are actually legal for any purpose under FAA rules. Personally, I think you guys are getting way out there, and entering a dubious area to be proposing and defending with such vehemence.
Making fun of my meds is sooo low...

I think any worries about national security go out the window when you can buy the shit on amazon...
We haven't had any aircraft crop damage yet, so, you are safe. But, if the state puts you on the crop damage permit, well....
Hahaha, zing!![]()
We are looking at getting a couple drones at work for SAR, C3rash Recon, and SOT building clearing (think active shooter/barricaded subject). We can't use anything made by DJI due tongue proximity and restrictions to both a Nuke PLANT and LNG import/export plant. Military and federal government are off limits for DJI since they are effectively mapping everything for the Chinese.
