Kelly J. Neubecker, CEO

UASolutions Group, Inc.

2518 Auburn Drive, Cocoa FL 32926

Dear Ms. Neubecker:

This letter is to inform you that the following information is missing from your petition for 

amendment dated March 11, 2016 on behalf of Homeland Surveillance and Electronics 

(Docket No. FAA–2015–1533). This information is necessary for the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) to process your petition.

• A detailed description of the aircraft design and configuration for the HSE-UAV AGV6A+V2 UAS focusing on the UAS features and flight characteristics to include, but 

not limited to:

o Detailed 3 view drawings with scale of the aircraft and any launch and recovery

equipment if applicable

1. Diagram	of	AG	V6A+	v2	is	attached	to	depict	mounted	tank	and	sprayer	

assembly,	along	with	HEX	design

o Operational history with supporting statistics; particularly where Homeland

Surveillance and Electronics was the principal operator

o Results of analysis and flight testing of UAS

o Lessons learned from repairs and alterations performed during operations to

include design changes and fixes due to operational failure(s)

1. No	known/reported	operational	failures	experienced	by	HSE	or	end	users.

o Details of any injuries or property damage resulting from flight/ground operations

1. No	known/reported	injuries	or	property	damage	from	operations	by	HSE	or

end	users.

o Safety analysis of any failure modes such as lost link, fly-away, loss of control,

etc.

• Copies of manuals, photographs, videos/telemetry may be provided as support

• Any other information to support an analysis of operational safety with unmanned aircraft 

in excess of 55 pounds.

Safety	Functions:	

1. Full	dual	redundancy	(Gemini	M	&	Gemini	S	- full	GPS,	IMU,	Compass	and	

controllers)	Automatic	switching	in	real-time	between	compass,	IMU,	GPS	or	

controller	if	one	fails.
2. Rotor	fail	protection:	If	one	rotor	fails,	other	five	will	operate	and	controller	will	

maintain	stability	enough	to	land

3. Full	Black	Box	/	Flight	recording	of	all	flights:	will	create	a	video	showing	the	data	

and	playback	of	all	flight	parameters,	Google	Earth	view	of	flight	and	operator	sticks	

input.

4. OPTIONAL	Parachute	protection

5. Max	altitude,	distance,	speed	both	altitude	and	flying:	defaults	are	set	by	us,	

customer	can	set	these	as	well

6. Ability	to	add	Aviation	Lighting:	max	visibility	LEDs

7. Automatic	Landing	and	Launch:	using	full	IMU	data	to	determine	on-ground, will	not	

shut	rotors	off	until	firmly	on	ground.	Uses	IMU	data	to	automatically	adjust	aircraft	

stability	when	dealing	with	Ground	Effect.

8. Flight	Stall	Prevention:	Flight	controller	prevents	accidental	'throttle	zero'	motor	stall	

while	in	air	- in	an	emergency,	operator	can	switch	instantly	to	'manual'	mode	to	

activate	rotor	kill.

9. Semi-Automatic	Navigation:	allows	operator	to	manually	override	speed	and	altitude	

instantly	during	automatic	flights

10. 5-second auto-lock	rotors:	automatically	locks	rotor	from	accidental	turning	after	

initial	power	connected	and	after	5	seconds	of	landing.

11. Ability	to	change	parameters	in	real-time	(during	flight)

12. Ability	to	program,	debug,	and	modify Flight	Controller	information	without	power	

to	rotors:	allows	safe	physical	interaction	with	UAV	while	performing	maintenance	

and	servicing.

13. Ability	to	move	or	edit	"Home"	(return	to	home)	location	if	original	becomes

obstructed	after	initial	launch	- if	a	failure	occurs,	UAV	will	land	at	newly	designated	

location.
