Tasker Safety Management System: Expanding Accessibility and Integration to Streamline UAV Operations for the enablement of Industrial Drone Use

Agreement Number:

1031934

Agreement Value:

$200,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jun 1, 2025 - Sep 29, 2026

Description:

Tasker is a web-based safety management system designed to reduce the complexities associated with UAV use in the aerospace industry. Tasker is currently available as a commercial product but is in the early stages of growth and trying to scale through greater user adoption. These concerns will be addressed in two parts, first with the release of a mobile app and second increasing automation through integration with common UAV Ground Control Systems (GCS). The proposed project would take an existing prototype mobile application and develop it for commercial release. Additionally, the project will look to increase automation through integration with popular GCS features such as flight log import and export and others.
