Certification Achievements of inspired Flight Drones
The Inspired Flight IF1200A and IF800 Tomcat drones have successfully obtained Green UAS certification from the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI).
This recognition validates the drones’ adherence to rigorous NDAA standards and cybersecurity protocols. Furthermore, they have also received certification under the Blue UAS framework set forth by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), establishing them as reliable and secure choices for defense, public safety, and critical infrastructure operations.
Robust Performance in Challenging conditions
The IF800 Tomcat is meticulously designed to excel in demanding environments. This drone is a dependable platform that merges cutting-edge technology with a strong commitment to national security, ensuring superior data protection and operational effectiveness.
On the other hand, the IF1200 serves as a powerhouse in the drone sector, offering a secure and reliable platform for a variety of applications and tools. This heavy-lift hexacopter has gained the confidence of both governmental and commercial entities due to its versatility and dependability.
Key Features of the certified drones
Both models, proudly manufactured in the USA, shine in mission-critical situations, providing:
- Dual certification under AUVSI’s Green UAS and DIU’s Blue UAS frameworks.
- Compliance with NDAA and strong cybersecurity protocols.
- Adaptability for public safety, critical infrastructure, and defense operations.
- Ongoing supply chain risk management through Green UAS oversight.
Thorough Certification Process
The Green UAS certification involved an extensive assessment of the drones’ components and subsystems to ensure compliance with cybersecurity and NDAA standards. This certification guarantees that the platforms meet DIU’s Blue UAS criteria, providing meaningful assurance to users in both defense and commercial sectors.
industry Leaders Weigh in
Rick Stollmeyer,CEO of Inspired Flight,stated,“We are proud to support AUVSI’s Green UAS initiative,which offers a vital certification for NDAA compliance and security.”
David Michelson, Director of DIU’s Autonomy Portfolio, remarked, “The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) endorses all initiatives aimed at enhancing industry verification standards. AUVSI’s Green UAS program ensures NDAA compliance and establishes a cybersecurity benchmark. The framework for cybersecurity and NDAA supply chain compliance from AUVSI is modeled after DIU’s Blue UAS approach.”
He further added, “The objective of DIU’s Blue UAS refresh is to maintain a current and robust list of policy-approved commercial UAS that cater to the diverse requirements of DoD users. DIU collaborates closely with AUVSI, whose Green UAS certification builds upon Blue UAS to benefit the commercial and non-defense drone sectors. I am excited to see an industry-led initiative like green UAS that can instill the same level of trust in the commercial domain.”
Casie Ocaña, Director of Trusted Programs at AUVSI, emphasized, “Green UAS certification guarantees that non-DOD federal, state, and local agencies, along with other security-sensitive technology users, can access secure, NDAA-compliant drone technology. This ensures robust procurement options while instilling confidence in agencies to deploy drones for essential missions. AUVSI and the secure drone industry are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of supply chain and cybersecurity.”
