FEMA UAS Program (Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Emergency Management) is sponsored by Department of Homeland Security - FEMA. FEMA supports the development and delivery of curriculum and competencies for the emergency management and first responder communities to effectively use Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) before, during, and after disasters.
UAS are noted for supporting mission requirements such as search and rescue operations and logistics and package delivery. While this grant is focused on training and curriculum rather than direct aircraft development, it indicates federal interest in advanced air systems for emergency response, which could eventually include autonomous VTOL aircraft.
