UAS (DRONES) ARE A GAME CHANGER!

With advanced sensors and well-planned and well-executed missions, commercially-available drones are a force in commercial and civil uses. 

Drones are a cost-effective, easily deployable, and capable information and imagery collection solution for a wide array of use cases. 

















Drones slot in nicely between ground-level sensors (such as human observers) and expensive-to-operate helicopters and aircraft. 
















Drones provide access and can generate optical, thermal and other sensed insights from places where other traditional sensors can't go.


Finally, and possibly most importantly, drones can provide current reality of an asset or event...the "as-is" of something. 
Information is perishable.  Bad (or stale) information (intelligence) is worse than no information at all.  Decision makers, incident commanders, producers and risk managers need a current and accurate assessment of a situation in real-time, and as the saying goes "a picture is worth a thousand words".  Drones can provide that exceptionally well.

When combined with numerous, sophisticated third-party commercial applications that offer tremendous capabilities to generate a wide variety of informational (intelligence) products, we quickly learn how drones are truly an information game-changer.
