Ayres UAS Projects• Ayres began processing UAS data
and took first steps to implement UAS technology in early 2015.
• Part 107 (Commercial Small Unmanned Aircraft Regulations) were announced in June 2016. These regulations streamlined the ability to operate UAS commercially in the national airspace.
• Ayres had its first FAA-certified remote pilot by August 2016.
• Ayres currently has five certified remote pilots and six UAS platforms within the company.
UAS Lidar data can be applied to:
• Topographic mapping
• Corridor mapping
• As-built surveys
• Vegetation encroachment analysis
Applications
UAS imagery and Lidar provide a visual record of:
• Construction progress
• Structural condition
• Construction documentation
• Environmental conditions
• Clearance issues
Applications
Topographic MappingUAS mapping products can be applied to:
• Site design
• Slope measurement
• Drainage analysis
• Cut/fill and volumetric measurements
