Bill is the recipient of the first FAA authorized 333 Exemption combined with an FAA Part 137 Certificate for the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for aerial imagery and aerial applications over agricultural products. Bill provides tremendous knowledge, experience, and an unblemished record in safety using UAS, having treated tens of thousands of acres with the PrecisionVision UAS aerial application systems. Bill and the Leading Edge Aerial Technologies team design, engineer, and manufacture the PrecisionVision UAS for aerial imagery and application here in the USA, specifically for vector control larviciding and adulticiding, noxious weed, fire ant bait, algicides, fungicide, insecticides, seeding, and numerous other applications. Bill has co-authored published articles and attained numerous grants and contracts over the last 37 years.
