a provider of UAV training, and Global Aerospace, a provider of aerospace insurance and risk management solutions, have announced a partnership that will provide small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) operators with exclusive resources and opportunities to increase the safety culture within the drone industry. DARTdrones will be the exclusive UAV training partner of Global Aerospace’s SM4 Safety Program.
The Global Aerospace SM4 Safety Program was built on the concept of integrating four critical safety components: planning, prevention, response, and recovery. Its mission is to meet the needs of the aviation and aerospace industries by providing access to cutting edge safety services, enhanced training efforts, monthly aviation safety newsletters, as well as SM4 website resources targeted to this sector.
Since 2010, Global Aerospace has committed over $4 million to support SM4 and help its clients pursue higher levels of safety. Now entering its 9th year, SM4 continues to expand by providing targeted subject matter experts and financial support to the aerospace sector. The SM4 Community of Excellence, launched in 2016, was designed to elevate the program and deliver unmatched service to the aviation industry. The Community of Excellence Partners and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) continue to revolutionize the SM4 Program to make it more visible and provide easy access to the many safety benefits it provides. DARTdrones is pleased to partner with this industry expert to launch new offerings and help improve the overall safety of the aviation community.
DARTdrones has been committed to helping organizations develop safe and efficient sUAS programs with their vetted expert flight instructors offering distinct in-person and online training courses, custom training programs (including mission-specific training) and consulting services (including SOP manual development). As DARTdrones continues to grow, developing safety considerations is at the forefront of the curriculum development within these programs.
Chris Proudlove, the Senior Vice President at Global Aerospace who leads the UAS program commented,
“We are very excited about our partnership with DARTdrones. As a leading provider of UAS insurance, we are committed to finding our customers the best training available. DARTdrones’ unique range of in-person and online training courses provides just that.”
Abby Speicher, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of DARTdrones added,
“We have worked extensively with the Global Aerospace and the SM4 team to ensure that this partnership will offer significant impact in safety for Global Aerospace clients through substantial resources and opportunities. We are excited to take the first steps to advance safety in the industry.”
