Note: All errors are my own. Many thanks to all the people who are helping me to learn about this complicated and important topic. To start, the phrases It is confusing and It depends are used a lot when discussing this issue. NH s primary source of revenue is from taxes on property. Many other states [ ]
It is property assessment season in New Hampshire. In overly simple terms, formal assessments of property are performed every five years in New Hampshire to provide the information for calculating NH taxes on that property. Almost all state, local, and school revenue depends on property taxes so this is of great importance to get right. [ ]
We are developing a small hardware device that consists of ESP32 development boards (~$50), 3D printed cases (~$3?), padded electronics cubes from Amazon (~$15), and a very light touch manual. Everything is rapidly evolving but since we want to track each device, we need to put a label on it with its MAC address and [ ]
I read a -lot- of fiction, and was feeling guilty about it. I should be expanding my awareness of the world! . (Rather than taking care of my mental health by reading novels for pleasure that allowed me to escape for hours on end .) Part of the issue is that my recent efforts at reading non-fiction [ ]
We are working on developing a program for UAVs for SAR in NH. Part of this effort involves evaluating and selecting appropriate sensors. Another is simply figuring out what works, what doesn t, what the use cases are, how to meet those use cases (if we can), . We ve done a lot of scenario work and [ ]
We re developing a UAV program for SAR in New Hampshire. Lots of things in flight on this. Some recent posts: Building a tactical UAV kit for wilderness operations Example of rapid deployment using above kit We are flying a lot of training scenarios. Educate the canine handlers, develop use cases, evaluate software, evaluate hardware, develop [ ]
I ve had an insanely productive week hired two people, built three antenna masts, built one go kit for SAR/EM communications, moved two wildly different critical projects forward, identified an issue in another organization and the person who could help us fix it, sealed and caulked a bath tub, . You get the idea. And [ ]
We are working on developing a SAR UAV program. This includes SOPs, use cases, equipment load outs, software, training, everything. As part of the R D effort, I ve been working on building our the UAV equipment kit to determine what is required, what is desired, what works, what fails, how to pack it, etc. This video [ ]
I am assisting a local agency with developing a SAR UAV program. Among other things, we will develop use cases and their attendant requirements to drive platform selection but for the moment we re using DJI Mavic Pros. What follows is my working UAV SAR kit built around the Mavic Pro. Each component of the kit [ ]
