Description of Relief Sought:
Amor Fati Industries Corp. d/b/a/Seneca (Seneca) is seeking to amend existing Grant of Exemption No. 25122 which provides relief necessary to enable Part 137 fire management and suppression operations with the Seneca Argo-1 unmanned aircraft system (UAS). The proposed amendments would allow for the operation of the Argo-3 UAS, which is a modified version of the Argo-1 UA with a maximum takeoff weight of 450 pounds, and to allow for the operation of up to five UAS simultaneously by a single pilot-in-command and enable Seneca beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations without visual observers and without requiring the pilot in command to maintain visual line of sight, using shielding mitigations and ADS-B In.
