NOAA tests new uncrewed aircraft for hurricane research
Uncrewed systems are a rapidly emerging tool for NOAA in hurricane research and forecasting as they allow researchers to gather data from otherwise inaccessible regions of the storm.

NOAA Uncrewed Systems Operations Center is recognized for leadership in uncrewed systems work.
Research and experimentation with uncrewed systems allows NOAA to improve and expand the ways that critical, accurate and time-sensitive data can be gathered and used. NOAA researchers and their partners use simulated and real-world experiments to assess the impact of uncrewed systems technologies and the data they collect. This information is then used to integrate uncrewed systems into NOAA operations.
