Are Fleet Management Services the Key to Scaling Up UAS Programs?

Fortress UAV spoke with Carla Lauter at the recent Commercial UAV Expo regarding this topic:

By removing some of the work involved with keeping drones up and running, Fortress Solutions hopes to help companies think bigger.

Implementing drone workflows can be straightforward when there are only a few platforms to manage but scaling to work with a fleet of drones across various company locations can pose additional challenges. Rather than dedicating in-house personnel to maintain, deploy, charge, or refuel drones, Fortress Solutions offers an alternative for fleet management. By taking over the repair, refueling and logistics, Fortress Solutions’ business model allows companies to scale up their drone programs without dedicating additional staff. At the Commercial UAV Expo, we spoke to Fortress Solutions about their services and their partnership with Doosan to provide hydrogen fuel cells for their long-distance drones.
