2 Pilots were inspecting their third bridge under a BVLOS waiver from [Goverment agency] when the drone had lost its signal/connection. Eventually during the return to home phase connection was regained. Most likely due to bridge obstruction interference.
Reporter stated this was a test flight to find limitations of Skydio 2 flying BVLOS underneath a bridge.
UAS Crew reported a lost link while testing a UAS flying around different structures. Connection was regained on the return home.
