Obstacle Data Collection

Garrison Canter from the FAA’s Airport Technology Research and Development (ATR) Branch oversaw UAS-based obstacle data collection at Naples (FL) Municipal Airport (APF) on January 26-30, 2025.  The purpose of this research effort is to assess the use of UAS to conduct aerial surveys of natural or man-made obstacles in the airport environment that could pose a risk to arriving and departing aircraft.
