We not only deploy standard sensor packages (cameras) for routine geospatial mapping but also custom made advanced probes for rapid sampling of the atmosphere close to the ground. We also have a range of sensors including multispectral and thermal that can be mounted on both fixed wing and multirotor drones. The School has been involved with drones since 2010 and has a vast array of both drones, sensors and experienced technicians.
