Stephen Dees, Tyler Smith, and Christopher Morin showcased their Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) expertise with a demonstration where they took flight with a Harris Aerial Drone executed in a real-time data collection scenario.

The students were able to experience the application of cutting-edge technologies being utilized in a dynamic setting.

Equipped with a GeoCue lidar sensor, our team collected data points throughout approximately 15 acres of the University’s Plant City Campus.

The awe-inspiring demonstration allowed our experts to showcase both the safe operation and the data collection capabilities of the Harris Aerial Drone.

This was a unique opportunity to educate and mentor future geomatics students by offering a real-world dataset to practice processing survey deliverables from an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) lidar.
