The Ohio Military Reserve’s newest unit, the 7th Unmanned Aerial System, recently took part in a multi-agency exercise focused on a simulated biological event. Throughout the exercise, drones played a crucial role in gathering real-time data and providing situational awareness to the response teams. Equipped with advanced sensors and imaging technology, these unmanned aerial systems efficiently surveyed affected areas, monitored the spread of the simulated biological agent, and helped identify potential contamination hotspots. The drones’ ability to rapidly cover large areas, access hard-to-reach locations, and transmit high-resolution data to command centers significantly enhanced the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall response effort. This successful integration of drones demonstrated their immense value in emergency situations, enabling more informed decision-making and facilitating a more targeted and timely response to biological incidents.
OHMR’s 7UAS recently participated in a multi-agency exercise simulating a catastrophic biological event. UAS capability has many applications for emergency response.If you are a pilot, or would like to be and be part of an elite unit, contact Recruiting@ohmr.ohio.gov or go to www.ohiomilitaryreserve.com #Military #service #OHMR #leadership
