    A bearded man wearing a high-visibility yellow safety vest and reflective sunglasses is handling a fixed-wing drone (UAV) in an outdoor parking lot setting. The drone appears to be a survey/mapping aircraft with a camera gimbal mounted underneath and visible branding that reads 'USEVIEW' or similar. The background shows storm-damaged trees and debris, suggesting a post-disaster assessment operation.

    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.
