    Hello, My name is Adam Weatherall and I just might have the largest contextual drone fleet in the United States , but certainly in California. Over the past 18 months I have been involved in a dynamic project. Our project which is hosted in the San Bernardino mountains has exponentially grown at a much faster rate than we initially intended or expected. We have access to more than 30,000k drones . With more than 1k drones in active daily service, we have developed more than 1k pilots for the purposes of search and rescue related activities, with more than 300 professional drone pilots also being apart of the same group. Even in our beta phase of this project we have saved 6 lives ,and have 6 patents with another 9-12 within development. Our first open source patents which were developed during and as a direct response to the tragedy which begat the group will soon be released with the hopes of saving a much larger contextual amount of lives than we could ever hope to. We have also given away more than 300 drones to children of lower means and those whom show promise in stem related fields. We have also begun donating additional resources to the government bodies that surround as we far surpass their prowess in this field. Beyond drones we have distributed 1k walkie talkies, 100 laptops, 24 3-d printers and 12 cnc machines in effort to make what we call “the infinite fleet” I would like one of the foundational members of this group if possible to share this concept so it can be replicated as quickly as possible and therefore have more positive impact than we could have ever dreamed possible. Thanks for your time, have a good day.
