UAS – Möglichkeiten und Perspektiven UAS – opportunities and perspectives

Abstract

This article discusses unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and their opportunities and perspectives. UAS can collect imagery and other observations from locations or at scales that may be difficult to cover using conventional methods. Applications can include surveying, mapping, inspection and environmental monitoring. Effective use requires suitable sensors, flight planning, accurate positioning, data processing and compliance with relevant operating requirements. The topic highlights the growing role of aerial data collection in geospatial workflows and the need to match the method to the task, expected accuracy and conditions of the project.
