Title:

Youth Software Development Engineer

Agreement Number:

1003724

Agreement Value:

$30,000.00

Agreement Date:

May 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

In 2022, Canadian UAVs received the first Canada-wide BVLOS permit for UAV flight. Flying UAVs at such a large scale has uncovered the challenge of handling a rapidly increasing volume of data generated from these operations. This data must be collected from UAV operators, processed to provide actionable intelligence, and delivered to customers promptly. However, the current methods for managing this data are manual and slow, requiring constant intervention and leading to delays in the process. The Firm's solution is to extend the functionality of existing proprietary software to automate parts of that process and make it easier for UAV operators and companies to provide processed data to customers in an efficient and accurate manner.
