What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
Insurance market delves into UAS technologies
Cunningham Lindsey has announced a partnership with VDOS Global to incorporate unmanned technologies into insurance provider processes.
VDOS is an FAA-authorised provider of UAS services. Under this partnership, the two companies will work together to leverage the efficiencies offered by UAS for the daily claims processes undertaken by insurance companies.
Insurers will be supported in the creation of UAS programmes for their claims processes, with the aim providing safer pre- and post-loss assessments with aerial flyovers, and customised UAV-training tailored to the needs of field adjusters and additional experts seeking certification.
Carriers will also be able to access aerial data in support of application and underwriting, as well as catastrophic claims situations for all types of property. When claims occur that require a forensic investigation, VDOS will also work with EFI Global (EFI), the forensic division of Cunningham Lindsey, to provide the UAVs needed to gather field data in challenging locations.
David Repinski, president and chief client officer, Cunningham Lindsey, Americas, said: ‘We are excited to partner with a highly respected and recognisable brand like VDOS to share the benefits of the emerging drone technology with our clients.
'It is undeniable our industry is changing constantly, and the data application possibilities using drone technology are tremendous. This partnership represents the best path forward to help insurers incorporate a UAV strategy to gain a competitive and differential advantage across all channels in the claims and risk assessment process.’
