What you need to know about DJI’s first-ever drone LiDAR payload Responding to high demand from AEC and surveying industries, the Zenmuse L1 addresses the need for a potent yet user-friendly LiDAR drone solution. Despite its presence for over half a century, the transformative potential of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data has only come to the forefront across industries in the past decade. LiDAR technology is now acknowledged as a pivotal element in constructing precise reality models within the surveying sector. Why is this the case? In scenarios of low light or areas covered by dense canopies, traditional aerial...

Pre- and post-fire, drones gather critical intel to aid firefighters If you’re a firefighter responsible for forest fire response, mitigation, and rescue, the benefits of drones are immense. We’ve detailed four major benefits with supplemental stories below. 1. Gather situational awareness in a short time 2. Protect your personnel 3. Enable fast mapping for incident response as well as for post-incident recovery 4. Administer prescribed burns

We are excited to announce the launch of Zenmuse P1 and Zenmuse L1. Zenmuse P1 - The New Benchmark for Aerial Surveying The Zenmuse P1 integrates a full-frame sensor with interchangeable fixed-focus lenses on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. Designed for photogrammetry flight missions, it takes efficiency and accuracy to a whole new level. Features: Extraordinary Efficiency The P1 includes a full-frame, low-noise high-sensitivity sensor that can take a photo every 0.7 s during the flight, and covering 3 km2 [1] in a single flight. Remarkable Accuracy Equipped with a global mechanical shutter and the all-new TimeSync 2.0 system, which synchronizes...

Two innovative companies have integrated the new FLIR Hadron into sUAS platforms being launched this summer. The Hadron is a compact, low power form factor that includes both a visual and thermal camera and is designed to enable lightweight and dynamic aircraft. Teal Drones and Vantage Robotics took advantage of the Hadron’s state-of-the-art capabilities to create sUAS platforms at the leading edge of the industry. The Golden Eagle from Teal Drones Teal was started about five years ago by CEO George Matus, who had a vision of enabling unmanned systems to be more than just single use-case devices. Early in...

Drone technology is on the rise. It’s being deployed to support the farmers who feed us, the public safety organizations that protect us, and the operations of the utility, construction, and transportation companies that support our modern lives.   The benefits of these flying, data-gathering devices are mostly measured in costs reduced, time saved, and efficiencies gained. But drones are also making an impact beyond bottom lines. Increasingly they are being used to aid life-saving operations. Not to mention the accidents drones prevent on a daily basis in potentially dangerous working environments.   The applications of drones are varied but...
