BINGEN, Wash., May 4, 2016 — (PRNewswire) —  Insitu, industry-leading provider of information and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for commercial, civil and military operations, and aerial data provider PrecisionHawk announced today the formation of a strategic alliance. The collaboration brings together best-in-class UAS solutions to help commercial enterprises achieve safe unmanned flight for extended and beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations.
