Insurance underwriter Global Aerospace is highlighting its partnership with consulting firm Waypoint Global Strategies to provide training and logistical support to the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) community and Global Aerospace customers through its SM4 safety program.

Under the partnership, Waypoint subsidiary Unmanned Safety Institute (USI) will provide customers with safety awareness resources and professional training. Waypoint and Global Aerospace have designed the program to provide UAS operators with consulting and data analytics services and access to online training webinars.

“We will continue to demonstrate our commitment to the exciting and rapidly growing sector of UAS,” said Chris Proudlove, team leader for complex risks at Global Aerospace. “With our wide range of products developed specifically for UAS and partnerships with experts such as Waypoint Global Strategies, we are fully prepared to support this expanding industry.” The partnership includes training in best practices for UAS flight safety, including identifying and minimizing risk exposure and core principles such as human factors and technology reliability.

Waypoint and USI representatives will be available at the Global Aerospace exhibit (Booth 3685) today and Wednesday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to present interactive UAS simulator demonstrations.
