SUAS Operations At the Remote Sensing Center (SOAR)

The Remote Sensing Center (RSC) conceives, develops, and operates high performance systems for demanding sensing missions. The RSC brings together scientists and engineers in a rapid R&D environment to create game-changing solutions for national and worldwide partners and collaborators.

LAGER is a key component of the Remote Sensing Center, providing support for the Platform Operations and GNC (POG) team.
For more information, please visit the Remote Sensing Center website.

The center was recently featured in an article on some of the small Unmanned Aircraft System support for a soil moisture radar system.
