On Saturday, January 22, the Navajo Nation is conducting “Missing Healing Eagle Feather”—Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) flights, more commonly known as drones, on the reservation. The flights are the result of a partnership with MissionGO, a drone manufacturer and operating company based in Baltimore, Maryland, and ZappCare, an all-Native founded mobile medical company based in Gallup, New Mexico. The purpose of the UAS demonstrations are to showcase how drones can deliver critical support for medical care, infrastructure, and other emergency scenarios. Read more about the project here.
