Let's look at how Drones are being used in construction today. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), and Small UAS (sUAS), aka Drones, continue to evolve in technology capabilities as well as affordability. Drones are used in construction from pre-development and design to post-project handover and all points in between.
How Drones Are Being Used in Construction Today
Similar to other construction tools and equipment, all drones are not the same having different capabilities to support various functions and usage scenarios. Some are optimized for precision mapping, others with multi-spectral sensors (e.g., Thermal, InfraRed (IR), Lidar, etc.), and still photo or video optimized. Some drones are optimized for the outdoors, including cold or bad weather, while others excel for indoor or...
