I was just looking at this yesterday! Here's the FAA site of all the companies with exemptions to operate UAVs. It sounds like the application process is lengthy, but do-able. Their application documents include the UAV models they intend to operate, and if they got approved. https://www.faa.gov/uas/legislative_programs/section_333/333_authorizations/ Tom Lee, GISP GIS Analyst Halliwell Engineering Associates, Inc. 401-438-5020 x 138 401-434-1909 fax [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> From: Northeast Arc Users Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Fitting, James Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2015 8:38 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: drones for aerial survey I received an email ad for a helicopter drone that does mapping using a combination of aerial photography, GPS, and software to automate the process. I'm not promoting the product, but as an FYI there is a description of it, with links to more information, at http://airgon.com/products.html . The output products are a high resolution photomosaic and a 3D surface. It looks like a valuable tool for getting current aerial photography and topography for a site. The price tag is rather hefty, at $30K. My question is, does anyone know of a vendor providing drone-based mapping services in New England, using this or other similar equipment?
