Subject: Re: drones for aerial survey
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.

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?
