Office of National Marine Sanctuaries UAS test in Hawaii
NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries has successfully tested the integration of two different types of unmanned systems for potential use in research and management of national marine sanctuaries. The tests earlier this month in Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary involved NOAA's Puma unmanned aircraft system and Liquid Robotics, Inc., Wave Gliders®.
