Discover Our Commercial Drones
Commercial applications like precision agriculture, infrastructure inspections, and surveying require rugged drones that can withstand demanding jobs. Finding the right unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for your organization is vital for maintaining safe, cost-effective operations.
What to Look for in Commercial Drones
Commercial drones are significantly more advanced than most consumer drones. Some innovative features of modern commercial drones to look for, depending on your applications and needs, include:
- Thermal Sensors: Drones equipped with thermal cameras identify hotspots in an area, which can help in a range of applications, such as uncovering missing people, discovering points of failure in solar plants, and inspecting roofs for leaks.
- LiDAR Sensors: Aerial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology enables surveyors and engineers to gather more detailed information about the earth or certain structures than they would be able to obtain using conventional methods.
- High-Resolution Cameras: Just as drone technology is advancing, so is camera technology. Today's drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and the ability to capture incredibly precise data.
- RTK: Real-time kinetic (RTK) technology can help boost accuracy and efficiency by correcting GPS data as the drone is busy capturing site data. Note that this technology requires an uninterrupted connection to the base station, which is why RTK drones are best for open spaces with few obstacles.
