ODOT has been building out a 'digital infrastructure' to support drone operations — everything from small drones that inspect bridges (and other infrastructure), help first-responders or assist in land surveys, Calhoun said. CAL's system will help ODOT manage its drones, staying on top of where they are, looking for general aviation aircraft that don't have transponders, the avionic systems that identify an airplane and its altitude. The system will identify areas where drones can and can't fly. It will help ODOT know, for example, to avoid an area where a medical evacuation helicopter is headed.
