NEW ORLEANS, La. — One of the challenges that comes with the creation of new aviation technology is that there is often a lag between initial development and a means of support. Brad Hayden, the CEO of Robotic Skies, figured this out in 2014 when small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), commonly referred to as drones, were becoming popular.

“The field was growing so rapidly that it became clear that there would be a gap in maintenance operations,” Hayden explains.
