There are numerous uses for drones when undertaking environmental projects. This may include aquatics, wildlife, environmental monitoring, or base mapping needs. When we speak about environmental protection, we also include incident management in the discussion. Strategic has permission to operate our UAVs for wildfire scanning, and we also have successfully utilized UAVs for spill response:
- Map the aquatic environment (stream morphology, fish counts, fish barriers)
- Provide reconnaissance in steep slope areas or heli-access areas
- Thermal hotspot scanning to provide maps to wildfire crew members
- Mapping and reconnaissance for spill response
- Highlight invasive species and relative health of vegetation
