A local drone reseller has partnered with a Tyler, Texas-based company to provide drones for surveying and mapping in the Southeast.
Steel City Drones is partnering with SmartDrone to provide quadcopter UAVs to regional land surveyors and mapping professionals. The drones will be available to people in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee for various missions and demonstrations using lidar scanning for surveying and mapping.
The drone, called The Discovery, offers the features that surveying and GIS professionals need for collecting topographic data. The drone is a fully automated aerial collection platform featuring high-resolution digital lidar and automated self-service lidar processing that augments traditional earth measuring.
“We're excited to partner with SmartDrone and bring this phenomenal product to the Southeast. We've spent the last four years flying drones with lidar. SmartDrone's on-site processing capabilities are an incredible game-changer for anyone who needs survey-grade topography." said Tim Hogan, co-owner of Steel City Drones.
SmartDrone will be providing training at its headquarters in Texas, to bring Steel City Drones onboard and prepare them to service and support customers in the Southeastern U.S.
