UAS Applications in Environmental Science

One of the exciting new fields in remote sensing is in the area of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones, for acquiring data. With the advent of smaller UAS components, and changes to regulations in the national airspace, this area is opening rapidly. We have been leveraging our experience in remote sensing platforms and bringing that to a local level using UAS data acquisition.

We are using these small systems for a variety of projects:
Multiple UAV systems are used for data collection. These include:

These carry a variety of payloads including:
