Commercial UAV Expo Issues Report on Surveying, Mapping with Drones

Commercial UAV Expo has released its most recent report, titled “Surveying and Mapping with UAVs,” which provides information on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for surveying and mapping, including insights into how the technology is being used today and how it will be used in the near future.

The free report covers topics including the short- and long-term effects of Federal Aviation Administration regulation, the increasing return on investment for using drones due to the lowered costs of the technology, and how the industry will be impacted once operators are able to fly beyond the visual line of sight.

Commercial UAV Expo, organized by Diversified Communications, will take place Oct. 31-Nov. 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The report is available for download here.
