Before submission each proposal is approved by Anne who also closely tracks the progress of each project. This has allowed her to be deeply involved in each Sky Research project while making internal decisions for the company.

A pilot herself she has ensured that Sky Research continues to utilize aviation, along with other technologies, to better serve clients with work that benefits the earth and humanity.

Vice President

Sky is a co-founder and Vice President for Sky Research with over 30 years of experience in managing and performing airborne sensor technology work. He has designed and executed Wide Area Assessment (WAA) surveys involving the customization of aircraft, data processing techniques, and interpretation methodologies and has brought innovation to the discipline through continual advancement with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI), airborne magnetometry, and LiDAR instrumentation systems in support of airborne multi-sensor WAA and other environmental remediation projects.

Sky has extensive business/aviation management experience in the field of Airborne Remote Sensing Operations. He holds a U.S. Airline Transport Pilots License with over 16,000 flight hours. To date, he has overseen management of over 130 experimental research and production-level survey projects utilizing airborne remote, multi-sensor technologies.

Vice President of Technology

Since completing his doctorate degree in Geophysics at MIT in 1990, Dr. Foley has completely focused his career on the development of new and innovative Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) characterization technologies. Dr. Foley is a leader in the UXO industry, successfully transitioning several innovative technologies from Research and Development into routine production.

With over 50 publications on the subject and with direct experience on over 60 Military Munitions sites, Dr. Foley has a long successful track record of project excellence based on implementation of appropriate and tested technologies.

Vice President Research and Development

Dr. Billings’ work centers on state-of-the-art land-based and airborne UXO detection and discrimination technology. Dr. Billings has achieved tangible and demonstrated success in reducing project costs through streamlined data collection, automated data processing, advanced geophysical analysis, and modern Quality Control (QC) tools. This effort has lead to the reduction of false alarm levels at several projects which accelerated schedules and reduced excavation requirements.

Dr. Billings also supports UXO geophysical research as Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia, Geophysical Inversion Facility.
