The combination of LiDAR technology into industrial drone operations continues to revolutionize industries reminiscent of architecture, surveying, construction, and public safety. The precision and efficiency offered by LiDAR have prompted significant advancements in data collection, enabling firms to streamline processes and enhance project outcomes.
The LiDAR Pros, LLC, headquartered in Las Vegas, NV, has recently announced an expansion of their services and drone reselling operations within the Southwest region. Boasting a team with over 80 years of collective experience in aviation and UAS data collection, The LiDAR Pros are positioned to cater to a wide selection of projects spanning Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Southwest Colorado, western Arizona, and California.
Along with their expertise in LiDAR-based services, The LiDAR Pros also function resellers for quite a lot of drones from reputable brands including Wingtra, Inspired Flight, Geocue, Microdrone, Pix4D, LP360, and Maptek. This strategic approach caters to the NDAA-concerned market, addressing the growing demand for compliant equipment amidst evolving legislative landscapes.
“Over the past couple of years, it’s turn out to be apparent that LiDAR is the following phase of uncrewed workflows and our team at Sundance Media Group desired to have the flexibility to sell equipment and services together with our training and consulting. We decided to fill the gap ourselves and The LiDAR PROs was formed!” said COO of Sundance Media Group, and President of The LiDAR PROs, Jennifer Pidgen.
The LiDAR Pros offer a comprehensive range of services, including fixed-wing drones for giant area coverage and NATO-compliant multirotor systems for smaller areas and high ground-sampling distance requirements. The team also provides sensors for manned fixed-wing or rotor craft, along with UAS-focused services, with mobile mapping capabilities.
Brady Reisch, VDC and Mission Specialist at The LiDAR Pros, highlighted the transformative impact of LiDAR technology, stating,“LiDAR is shifting the world through a mixture of being significantly faster and with service costs dramatically falling attributable to the expansion within the industry. Once clients experience the speed and superior datasets which are derived from LiDAR, it’s all they need moving forward.
The fee of LiDAR for purchase remains to be on the upper end; the fee typically amortizes over a couple of flights, once in comparison with the speed and data quality differences from photogrammetry. Whether roadwork, construction, façade inspection/redesign, or land development, LiDAR data could also be used for multiple outputs, ideal for general contractors and sub-contractors.”
Partnering with Sundance Media Group (SMG), The LiDAR Pros offer a full-service solution encompassing equipment demonstrations, data capture, sales of photogrammetry and LiDAR sensors and platforms, and live and online training for supported UAS brands. SMG’s training covers a wide selection of topics, from Part 107 test preparation to thermal imaging, precision mapping, LiDAR post-processing, tactical operations, inspection, and other common uses of UAS.
The LiDAR Pros is woman-owned and operated, based in Las Vegas, NV, and Salt Lake City, UT, offering services in Nevada, Utah, Idaho, California, Western Arizona, Oregon, and Washington. Powered by Sundance Media Group established in 1994, The LiDAR Pros are an extension of the SMG repute for reliability, quality training and services, and customer support. TLP is a proud supporter of Women And Drones.
