Our experience includes assisting organizations in navigating the sometimes confusing process of applying for and obtaining FAA COAs and Waivers necessary for UAS flight operations in the national airspace system.

Nexutech Associates were instrumental in obtaining a FAA Certification of Authorization (COA) for BOSH Technologies operation of its “SWIPER” and “SUPER SWIPER” Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) in a rural Virginia environment, to support testing and demonstration efforts in proximity to the company’s HQ.

Later, Nexutech was retained by North Carolina State University (NC State) Next Generation Air Transportation (NGAT) team within the Institute for Transportation Research and Engineering (ITRE) to enable a broad range of test activities. Nexutech’s Associates worked directly with the FAA UAS Program Office and ultimately was able to be granted a nationwide COA for NC State, a feat that up to that point had only been accomplished by the FAA’s six (6) UAS Test Sites. Nexutech’s efforts were directly responsible for the later-formed NC Department of Transportation (NC-DOT) UAS group, which successfully built on the foundational work accomplished by NGAT and Nexutech team.
