We request this exemption to operate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to conduct remote sensed imaging (RSI) with data acquisition and integration , mapping, geographic information systems (GIS), and real estate , sports development and public photography.

SwormIM Unman ned Aircraft S ystems (UAS) include the DJI Phantom II, 3DR Iris+, 3DR XM8, 3DR Solo, 3DR XM.
DJI and 3DR are the two largest international and United States based UAS developers. DJI and 3DR have establish strong trainin g programs , not limited just texts, but on line learn ing.Th ese companies have establish ed preflight checklist , operational inspections for each unique

UAS , and has an established history with construction, safety, and utility in the UAS community.
We will operate our UAS with these programs as a basis for our company. We will further refine them to enhance the safety and effectiveness of our UAS projects. We especially note that each of these companies allow us to access lesson learned from their UAS programs.
These safety and aviation requirements will be combined with the regulator guidance we receive from the FAA from our approved exemption. We will utilize all our AUS equipment within the stated parameters as established by their manufactu res. We will provide documentation to each of our clients which will highlight the safety and effectiveness of our UAS. We will continue to consult with subject matter experts, to enhance our operational safety. Our company will ensure compliance with local law and respect of our land and land owners. SwormIM will operate our UAS in a transparent and open way to ensure the continued growth in AUS.
We seek this Exception to Section 333 so that we can provide remote imagining and data exploitation to individual and small business. We are a focused on providing creative solutions to geographic as well as photographic issues effecting individuals and small business. We will provide safe remote sensing to our clients so that they may make informed c hoices as to the expansion, location, and growth of their business. We expect that with this exemption we will be able to develop a viable market for an AUS business.
Without the aid of our company, each of them is put a competitive disadvantage. We are a Hawaiian Island based company, and know our home islands well. Mainland companies who could provide limited services are expensive and not responsive to our local communities. We also can provide assistance to address issues concerning land and wat er use to business and communities throughout the Hawaii Islands.
Further, we seek to expand the employment opportunities to military veterans through our training with industry development program. Fort Shafter Hawaii is home to the Army Geospatial Ba ttalion. We look to partner with them on community based projects. Our president served a full career in the Army Geospatial development initiatives.
With Respect,

Thomas F. Mann President SwormIM
