Re: Amendment to Section 333 Petition for Exemption pursuant to Section 

333 of the Federal Aviation Administration Modernization and Reform Act of 

2012, 49 U.S.C. § 44701(f), and 14 C.F.R. Part 11 in Regulatory Docket No. 

FAA-2015-1533-0001 

Dear Sir or Madam:

Homeland Surveillance & Electronics, LLC (HSE-UAV), filed for a Petition for 

Exemption/Rulemaking, Pursuant to Section 333 of the Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) 49 U.S.C. § 44701(f), and 14 

C.F.R. Part 11, for the purposes of low-risk, aerial mapping, surveying, product 

demonstration flights for potential customers, product training for potential customers, 

research and development, and structural inspections. The Petition for Exemption is 

contained within Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2015-1533-0001. HSE-UAV hereby 

requests an amendment to Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2015-1533-0001 to allow an 

additional type of small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) that fully complies with the 

terms and conditions of the previous exemption request. 

Homeland Surveillance & Electronics, LLC wishes to operate the Leptron RDASS 

electrically powered 4 rotor system, under the same terms and conditions contained in the 

Petition for Exemption in Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2015-1533-0001. Leptron products 

in general already have a long standing proven operational history with the FAA. The 

RDASS platform is currently being reviewed under the Public COA process for the 

following list of agencies, either updating or requesting new COAs. 

 Central Michigan University - Updating the Avenger and modifying for an RDASS

 Texas A&M University - Adding an RDASS

 Austin Texas Police Department and Fire - New for an RDASS, currently with the 

FAA’s Flight Standards Office completing a safety assessment

 Arlington Texas Police Department - Updating the Avenger and adding a new one 

for RDASS

All confidential manuals previously submitted to the FAA by HSE-UAV are also 

applicable to the safe operation of the RDASS. Additionally, the required manuals specific 

to the RDASS accompany this Amendment and are also considered Proprietary and 

Confidential. All operations of the additional RDASS sUAS will be in full compliance with 

the terms and conditions of the original Petition for Exemption in Regulatory Docket No.

FAA-2015-1533-0001. 

As this is an amendment asking for only the addition of another type of sUAS, 

HSE-UAV respectfully submits that good cause exists so that notice does not need to be 

published in the Federal Register for the requested amendment.

Please contact the undersigned should you have any question concerning this 

request for an amendment.
