Environmental Monitoring
UAVs fill a gap between manned aerial inspections and traditional fieldwork by monitoring hard to reach areas, or taking readings in contaminated areas where human health would be at risk. The ability to quickly deploy and capture an area of interest in concert with In position measurements, provides an advantage to contamination and reclamation work. Near-infrared sensors provide details of plant health to determine environmental health. UAV aerial data can produce prescription maps to aid farmers in determining crop stress levels, drought indicators, temperature effects and water and fertilizer variation and more. The site-specific insight will greatly improve habitat restoration, environmental assessments, monitoring, and remediation.
