The Memphis UAS Integration Pilot Program (IPP) team has announced that DJI has joined the Memphis IPP team at Memphis International Airport.

To explore the safety and efficiency benefits of small UAS applications at the Memphis International Airport, the Memphis IPP team is using DJI UAS for a variety of operations including for FedEx aircraft inspections, to deliver FedEx aircraft parts in day and night operations, and to provide airport perimeter security.

“DJI is excited to show how drone technology can improve the safety and efficiency of operations, even at an airport,” says Brendan Schulman, DJI vice president of Policy & Legal Affairs.

“We’re pleased to support FedEx and the Memphis IPP as they collaborate to explore how drones can be used to benefit communities and major infrastructure.”

The Memphis UAS IPP program has several focuses, including aircraft inspections, security monitoring of the ramp, and security/perimeter fence surveillance at Memphis International Airport.

“Memphis International Airport and its partners continue to explore how drones can be safely and effectively utilized in our airspace,” says Scott Brockman, MSCAA president and CEO.

“We are excited to add to our already strong team of partners in this venture.”
