Drones

Drones are monitoring devices with the ability to capture spatial, spectral and temporal information applicable to a wide range of applications. Also referred to as Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), the devices are versatile, adaptable and flexible. They can be rapidly and repeatedly deployed for high spatial and temporal resolution data.
