CaVU Consulting, Inc. provides Unmanned Airspace Integration services to the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense (DoD). Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) integration in the National Airspace System and Tactical Environment is an integral part of supporting CONUS and Deployed UAS missions. DoD UAS require NAS access to Train pilots/operators, to participate in Joint Exercises and to develop and test new systems and UAS elements. Many DOD UAS entities have no direct access to Restricted Areas, Warning Areas or other training areas. To expand access to these critical training areas it is essential to develop and implement standardized procedures, integrate technology developments and secure regulatory updates to secure freedom of operation. Focus areas for UAS Airspace integration efforts include Visual line-of-sight, Terminal Area Operations, Lateral/Vertical Transit Operations, Operating Areas, and Dynamic Operating Areas in CONUS and while deployed in Oceanic Airspace.
