Bring your training program up to standards with this portable sUAS Level 1-3 Omni Bucket set offered exclusively by Influential Drones. This kit includes one complete sUAS Open Lane Test Method kit, based on the standardized test methods developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
A test method consists of: (1) an apparatus, that can be reproducible by others; (2) a procedure, that is repeatable to conduct test trials; and (3) performance metrics, which are quantitative and can be compared over time.

The sUAS Level 1-3 Open Lane test methods consist of five different flight paths that are designated for comprehensive evaluations. These methods are scalable and used to demonstrate positive control of a function within a robotic system. This grouping consists of 5 standard tests that use well defined altitudes, positions, orientations and perches. Each flight path has a scripted procedure and can be executed in its entirety or constrained by time. Test methods can be used to quantify and validate operator proficiency as well as system capability. When performed properly, this information is measurable and can be compared.
This kit is Made in the USA by public safety officers who are proficient in the standard. Quality control is provided by the Influential Drones team. Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery. All apparatus base is fabricated out of aluminum, unless otherwise specified. Case color will be yellow or orange. Each set is ready to use, out of the box. Compatible with IR Tools 4" NIST Drone Training Thermal products.
WHAT ARE STANDARDIZED TEST METHODS?
Standard test methods are simply agreed upon ways to objectively measure robot capabilities. They isolate certain robot requirements and enable repeatable testing. They are developed and validated through a consensus process with equal representation of users, developers, and test administrators.
WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS WITHIN A STANDARDIZED TEST
Apparatus (or prop): A repeatable, reproducible, and inexpensive representation of tasks that the system is expected to perform. The apparatus should challenge the system with increasing difficulty or complexity and be easy to fabricate internationally to ensure all robots are measured similarly.
Procedure: A script for the system operator or test administrator to follow.
Metric: A quantitative way to measure the capability.
EXAMPLE: Completeness of 10 continuous repetitions of a task or distance traversed within an environmental condition within an elapsed time. A resulting rate in tasks/time or distance/time can then be calculated.
Fault Condition: A failure preventing the completion of the 10 or more continuous repetitions.
EXAMPLE: This could include an aircraft requiring maintenance or software issue at the remote operator control unit. All failures are catalogued to help identify recurring issues.
