    A bearded man wearing a high-visibility yellow vest and blue sunglasses is closely inspecting or adjusting the underside of a fixed-wing drone, likely a senseFly eBee or similar mapping UAV. The work is being performed on top of what appears to be a hard-shell equipment case on the back of a vehicle. The setting appears to be an outdoor area with residential structures and storm-damaged trees visible in the background.

    Kenneth Matheson, an unmanned aircraft system pilot with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, prepares his fixed-wing drone before a flight Nov. 17. The capability, which can accumulate a trove of data to potentially expedite temporary roof repairs for survivors following a disaster, is being field tested to support Operation Blue Roof for the first time. Matheson and the UAS team were asked to deploy to Florida to support the Corps of Engineers recovery operations following Hurricane Michael.
