As Staff Sergeant, David Domoney was instrumental in creating, advancing and leading the Remotely Piloted Aircraft Program (RPAS) for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Since starting the RPAS Program in 2010, he has coordinated the largest fleet of civil RPAS of any policing organization in the world. David led extensive research and development to advance the application of drones in crash scene investigation, drone countermeasures, data analysis, public safety and emergency response. He continues to advise agencies and UAS/RPAS fleet operators.

David recently conducted an extensive countermeasures program to test and evaluate RPAS countermeasures systems. His work with Transport Canada led to the RCMP’s obtaining the first National Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) to conduct operations anywhere in the country. A pilot project for extended line of sight operations was included. He has tested and flown many RPAS across North America.

He has delivered keynote speeches at Unmanned Systems Canada conferences around the world. Recently, David testified at a Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
