Event 38’s E455 Supports U.S. Army Training Exercise in Alaska

/in /by

Event 38 Unmanned Systems recently wrapped up a live operational demo in Alaska, where the company’s E455 VTOL fixed-wing drone supported a U.S. Army training exercise in extreme winter conditions. The flight event showcased the aircraft’s ability to deliver real-time video, extend communications, and plug directly into TAK-enabled workflows used by soldiers in the field.

The exercise placed teams in a remote, rugged environment with a defended stronghold as the objective. In the scenario, the “Blue Team” conducted a parachute insertion from a C-130 into an undisclosed location and began moving toward the target area. After the jump was complete and the airspace was cleared, Event 38 launched the E455 to provide persistent overwatch around the perimeter.

Our E455 Drone was tracking Blue Team’s movement within minutes of takeoff. The E455 streamed live multicast video which was complete with embedded GPS metadata through onboard Silvus networking hardware. The feed was distributed to multiple users at once, including WinTAK devices inside the Tactical Operations Center, soldiers’ mobile devices at the stronghold, and mortar fire positions.

ATAK also displayed the UAS position and gimbal crosshair target coordinates, helping speed up fire mission processing while improving situational awareness across the network.

To push communications even farther, Event 38 added an additional TSM radio inside the aircraft alongside the Silvus radio. This configuration expanded range on the Army’s TSM network while maintaining connectivity on the Silvus network.

Alaska’s weather did its best to make things difficult. The E455 operated through night flights, snow, humidity, and icing conditions in temperatures down to –4°F. Despite the environment, the system maintained stable performance and reliable delivery of sensor data throughout the exercise.

The aircraft flew with a NextVision Raptor payload, providing both EO and thermal imaging. That combination allowed operators to track targets in low visibility and challenging terrain.

“Operating alongside the Army was an eye-opening demonstration of just how impactful our technology can be on the modern battlefield,” said Mat Wright, Event 38’s Vice President of Engineering and Operations. “Beyond employing the aircraft as an offensive capability, we were able to expose soldiers to the kinds of systems they may face in future conflicts—helping them better prepare for what’s coming. As a smaller company, we often see large-scale demonstrations conducted by organizations like Anduril and Edge Autonomy and know we’re capable of meeting those same challenges. This effort marked a meaningful step in that direction, carried out in one of the most challenging environments in the world.”

For Event 38, the Alaska demo reinforced what the E455 is built for: rapid deployment, modular payload integration, long-range connectivity, and dependable ISR in tough operating conditions.

Event 38’s E455 Drone Supports Los Alamos Researchers in Locating Oil and Gas Wells

Event 38’s E455 Drone Supports Los Alamos Researchers in Locating Oil and Gas Wells

A Smarter Way to Find Hidden Oil and Gas Wells

Across much of the United States, remnants of early oil and gas development remain scattered beneath the landscape. Many wells were drilled decades ago, before modern mapping and reporting standards existed. Some were poorly documented, others never recorded at all. Over time, they were abandoned, overgrown, or buried under farmland—out of sight, but not without risk.

These forgotten wells can still leak methane or contaminate groundwater, creating environmental and safety concerns that are difficult to address when their locations are unknown.

Finding them isn’t easy. Historical records are often incomplete, terrain can be remote or difficult to access, and traditional ground surveys are time-consuming, expensive, and sometimes unsafe. To overcome these challenges, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are combining artificial intelligence with aerial data collection, using drones to turn predictions into verified locations.

Turning AI Predictions into Confirmed Sites

The effort begins with machine learning. LANL researchers analyze historical well records, geological data, and spatial patterns to identify areas where undocumented wells are most likely to exist. While these models help narrow the search, predictions alone aren’t enough. Confirmation requires real-world data collected directly from the landscape.

That’s where aerial surveying plays a critical role.

Using Event 38’s E455 VTOL fixed-wing drone, researchers can fly precise, low-altitude survey patterns over large areas. The aircraft is equipped with high-sensitivity magnetometers. These sensors are designed to detect subtle magnetic disturbances in the ground. These anomalies often indicate buried steel well casings or other subsurface infrastructure.

Collecting this data from the air allows researchers to confirm potential well locations without disturbing the terrain or relying on extensive ground access.

Why Airborne Surveys Make the Difference

Wide-area magnetometer surveys have traditionally been difficult to scale. Ground-based surveys require significant time and manpower, and many sites are simply inaccessible. Manned aircraft can cover ground more quickly, but they’re expensive and often can’t fly low enough to capture the level of detail required for this kind of work.

“The ability to perform wide-area magnetometer surveys from the air hasn’t been practical at scale until recently,” said Jeff Taylor, Founder and CEO of Event 38. “With the E455, researchers can identify lost wells, unexploded ordnance, and other buried anomalies in areas that would otherwise be impossible or unsafe to access.”

The E455’s hybrid design—combining vertical takeoff and landing with efficient fixed-wing flight—allows it to operate from remote launch sites while still covering large areas efficiently. Its modular payload system lets researchers customize sensor configurations for each mission, and its long-range communications and extended endurance support the collection of high-quality data across challenging terrain.

EVENT 38 ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL BVLOS PIPELINE INSPECTION DEMO WITH  FIXED-WING VTOL DRONE 

/in /by

(Richfield, Ohio) – February 12th, 2025 – Event 38 Unmanned Systems, a leading manufacturer of American-made mapping drones, announces that a successful BVLOS pipeline patrol demo has been completed using the E455, Event 38’s largest fixed-wing vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drone. The E455 flew 320 miles in just under 7.6 flight hours. The demo was executed by Phoenix Air Unmanned (PAU), a drone service provider that specializes in aerial inspection and surveillance for utilities. 

The demo was a proof-of-concept exercise to determine whether PAU could achieve the goal of patrolling 300 miles of pipeline, owned by Shell Pipeline Corporation, with a drone in just one day. “We woke up to a two-hour delay with fog, so we crossed the 300-mile mark at noon on the second day,” said Will Wheeler, Director of Operations, Phoenix Air Unmanned. “But our goal was achieved within a day of flying time, so it was a success.” 

Event 38 trained a team of six PAU pilots in just three days and integrated the E455 into PAU’s existing command control stations in less than a week. The demo was completed the following week. 

Wheeler credits much of the demo’s success to the user-friendly design of the E455. “Ease of use and reliability is a big deal for us. We have the foundational knowledge of how to execute BVLOS flights at scale, however we had never flown the E455 before,” he said. “We received training, the E455 was integrated, and then we were out there doing 300 miles. What will we be capable of once our whole crew has experience with this platform and it’s truly integrated into our workflow? It’s repeatable and scalable.” 

For the purposes of the demo, the E455 was outfitted with an Iris Casia 3-camera system, which is critical for BVLOS missions, two redundant radio links, and an ADS-B in, in addition to a standard live gimbaled camera. Drone communications were handed off between three ground control vans to increase efficiency, and ground control received a constant live video feed from the E455’s on-board cameras. Thanks to the E455’s bonded radio solution, the drone never lost signal with PAU. 

Even with the abundance of equipment required for a BVLOS mission, the E455 flew for up to sixty minutes on a single charge. With a standard payload, the E455 can fly for over two hours on a single charge. In optimal conditions, the E455 can travel at 50 miles per hour. speed is 50 miles per hour in optimal conditions. 

“This demo was an excellent opportunity for us to learn more about how the E455 operates in real-world scenarios and make some other modifications that will translate to a better user experience going forward,” said Mathew Wright, VP of Engineering and Operations, Event 38.

Event 38 Partners with PLACE to Map Turks and Caicos Islands

/in /by

Event 38 Unmanned Systems, a leading manufacturer of American-made mapping drones, announces the successful deployment of the E400, its fixed-wing mapping drone, to collect aerial imagery and mapping data in Turks and Caicos. The drone captured enough data to produce orthomosaics of two entire islands totaling 238 square kilometers in a matter of days. Turks and Caicos’ previous mapping data was at least ten years old.

The project was conducted by PLACE, a global non-profit technology organization dedicated to solving the inefficiencies of modern-day mapping and democratizing mapping data by providing hyperlocal, accurate, detailed optical imagery. The organization had been actively searching for a better aerial imaging solution when they were connected with Event 38.

“It can be difficult and expensive to get an airplane into the geographies where we work,” said Peter Rabley, founder of PLACE. “Satellite imagery is quite complicated to order and process the data, and many of these geographies have intense cloud cover, which can disturb the imagery.”

The logistics of data capture weren’t the only challenge. “Some countries dislike the fact that they have to pay an external satellite company for one-time use of their mapping data and can’t create derived works without paying more for a new license,” said Rabley.

“PLACE was looking for a fixed-wing, VTOL drone with a long flight time that could map large areas and capture high-resolution imagery,” said Jeff Taylor, founder and CEO, Event 38. “The E400 fulfilled all of their requirements, including an industry-leading flight time of ninety minutes, plus vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. We were also intentional about making the E400 as user-friendly as possible, including a hot-swap payload, a low maintenance electric powertrain, and open-source integrations, so we could remove any barriers to entry that might prevent someone from using it for important surveying and data collection projects.”

“The E400 is a complete game changer in terms of democratizing mapping for African countries and small island states,” said Rabley. “It’s very manageable in terms of operations and maintenance and has a lower threshold for human resource capabilities.”

PLACE’s first mapping project with the E400 took place in Turks and Caicos, an archipelagic island nation in the Caribbean. Turks and Caicos’ previous mapping data was at least ten years old, and existing satellite data wasn’t detailed enough for local applications such as hurricane preparedness and mitigation. The Event 38 team joined PLACE to provide training on using and maintaining the drone, which the team used to map two entire islands.

The team produced highly accurate orthomosaics just two days after they finished capturing aerial imagery. The E400 gave the Turks and Caicos government the accuracy and resolution of data they needed to greenlight multiple critical projects, including a major upgrade to their property tax system and improved climate mitigation modeling and planning. The data is already being used for the upcoming Census and other key activities.

The success in Turks and Caicos is, hopefully, the first of many for PLACE using the E400. Access to updated mapping data is critical for geographies with fast-growing populations and cities particularly those at risk from climate change. This data allows governments to plan and invest in the development of public services and structures, such as climate mitigation, upgraded sewer systems, improved mobility, health services, and more.

“At PLACE, our goal is to democratize and localize data collection, and the E400 makes that much more affordable,” said Rabley. “The data is immediate and owned by the government, so there are no licensing or use restrictions.”

Event 38 is working on additional modifications to the E400 to support PLACE and other future customers. “Based on what we learned during our time in Turks and Caicos with PLACE, we’re making a lot of exciting modifications to both the E400 and the workflow to make the entire platform better suited to remote locations, where there may be limited cell service, repair facilities, and accessible weather data,” said Taylor. “We’ve already invested in a lighter carrying case and an ADS-B transponder and improved the image geotagging workflow for large missions, and further upgrades are in the works.”

PLACE has already purchased two additional E400s.

“Event 38 is incredibly proud to be supporting PLACE’s important work and mission,” said Taylor. “We look forward to seeing what our other clients do with the E400.”
