The importance of the Insitu contract to the Coast Guard and to the State of Washington The contract is great for Insitu and for the Coast Guard. “The sUAS have already proven to be a transformational technology, and the deployment of this capability to the entirety of the NSC fleet is an incredibly important first step in realizing the Coast Guard’s vision of fleet-wide sUAS implementation,” said Commander Daniel Broad- hurst, who served as unmanned aircraft systems division chief in the Office of Aviation Forces. “The Coast Guard is excited to award the contract for the service’s first class-wide sUAS to Insitu.” Tremain added that for Insitu, “The Coast Guard is a significant maritime customer; we are proud to support them and their missions. It allows us to conduct missions that are important to the founders of Insitu.” The ScanEagle is a product that can make Washing- tonians proud Much like the bald eagle, our much-revered national bird, Insitu’s ScanEagle offers residents of Washington something to be proud of in national security — monitor- ing safety for the residents of our great country.
