We have the relatively unique capability to deploy LiDAR sensors on our UAVs/Drones to gather data for 3D point terrain models. This means we provide results that are more accurate and precise than regular sensors. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has the advantage of being able to penetrate challenging terrain such as that with dense vegetation, creating digital terrain models (DTMs) that are highly accurate. LiDAR is also a much more superior technology for powerline inspections and SAG measurements which can sometimes be tricky due to low crosssection and a camouflage effect. Our aerial LiDAR sensors provide a dense cloud of millions of 3D points where each point in the cloud has three-dimensional spatial coordinates (latitude, longitude and height) corresponding to a particular point on the earth's surface.

Some of the applications where LiDAR is highly effective are:

• Mining: LiDAR is used to calculate ore volumes by periodic UAV flyovers and comparing surface data to previous scans. Surveying: UAVs with LiDAR sensors are used to create many types of DEMs (Digital Elevation Model).
• Contour Mapping: Creating topographic maps, which show valleys, hills and the steepness of slopes. Agriculture: Used to reveal slopes and sun exposure on farmland.
• Utilities: Powerline SAG inspection.
• Environmental Conservation: LiDAR has many applications in accessing and analyzing rivers, lakes, coastal regions, climate, forest fire hazards, land-based threats to coral reefs, measuring biomass areas and protecting forestry.
• Agriculture: LiDAR mapping can blend topography maps with crop yield data to indicate the health of the soil.
