Microdrones is going to have a busy 2018. The team is getting ready to introduce a new lineup of easy-to-use, fully integrated aerial LiDAR systems—bringing laser focus to your projects.
In November, our flight operations team took to the sky, surveying the active runways at Griffiss International Airport in Rome, New York.
Here is the President of Microdrones, talking about how his team got to this point, excuse the pun.
“We have become the industry leader providing VTOLs for mapping. We are the reference, we have the best solution today. With the LiDAR, we are adding a new tool for them to expand their businesses but also to address new markets and new applications; like being able to map power lines and vegetation.”
“We put a lot of effort, time and resource into this and it’s pretty cool to see this really happening. It’s not only just the drone flying, and the team using it but seeing the results and confirming that it works-everything we planned we did it so at the end it’s about the data, the point cloud that we produced, that is really cool and it’s a step in the process.”
That data turned into this-after integrating with air traffic control, working in the field and managing changing weather conditions, the Microdrones team created a 3D visual representation of a runway at Griffiss International Airport in Rome, NY, using LiDAR.
This is just a teaser- so be on the lookout for more information on the forthcoming LiDAR systems from Microdrones.
