Are there any non-ARM aerial assets involved with this campaign? (e.g. uncrewed aerial system [UAS], tethered balloon platform, crewed aircraft, etc.)
IMPORTANT Non-ARM uncrewed aerial systems and tethered balloon platforms must show a successful history of operation—i.e., multiple documented operations of the system carrying the intended payload weight at the heights proposed with core infrastructure (e.g., power and mounting systems)—prior to approval of the ARM Aviation Safety Plan. Written documentation of this should be provided in the proposal submission or emailed to afcadmin@arm.gov with the subject: [Proposal Name] [PI Name] Platform Documentation.
Note: The ARM tethered balloon system and aerial capabilities may NOT be requested as part of the February 9, 2024, annual call for proposals.
