One platform built for speed, accuracy and scale. 0 M Acres mapped 0 M Flights 0.00 M Sites .png) Used on 3 million sites in 180 countries ## Don’t get left behind. See how DroneDeploy Aerial is (actually) used in the field - See underground - Simplify supervision - Inspect facades - Plan ahead - Protect your people - Track progress “Undergrounding and as-builting are two major challenges we are facing on a day to day basis. DroneDeploy is our Digital Dig Board” **Stuart Drahota** Field Technology Group Leader "I have so much on my plate as a superintendent; DroneDeploy made my life so much simpler." **Nick Freshour** Construction Superintendent "We're able to assess the condition of an envelope and completely replace the cost of scaffolding." **Alex Ramirez** Director of Construction Technology "Having access to that information helps us provide predictability in our budgets and to our clients." **Kurt Thomas** Vice President of Preconstruction "Nobody wants to put on a harness just to check a 14/12 pitch roof; DroneDeploy brings that detail to the meeting." **Josh Stewart** Senior Superintendent "It used to take 4-5 days to survey the site; with DroneDeploy, producing cut and fill volumes is even easier now." **Paul Reddel** Senior Engineer ## How DroneDeploy Aerial works - **Capture** Document your site in minutes with the DroneDeploy Flight app. Produce repeatable sub-inch maps easily with instant RTK and PPK. - **Process** See the projects, sites and assets you care about using high-resolution maps, panos, videos and photos. Turn data into automated insights with the highest accuracy processing available. - **Measure** Compare progress to design, add overlays, report earthworks quantities or stockpile volumes, and document underground utilities. Capture survey-grade maps for decision-grade data. ## Supported hardware ### Supported hardware Our processing engine works with data from any camera source and supports automated flights, mission planning, and execution across drones, ground robots, docked systems, and 360 cameras. ### Data on demand **Need the data but don't have pilots or hardware yet?** Use our services network to capture key corridors and facilities at the cadence you need, with processed maps, photos and models delivered straight into your DroneDeploy account. ## Frequently asked questions ### Who is DroneDeploy Aerial built for? Project managers, site supervisors, survey professionals and operations teams use DroneDeploy Aerial to run consistent aerial documentation programs across construction, mining, oil and gas, solar, agriculture and infrastructure. Program directors managing multiple active sites, data and GIS teams integrating processed outputs, and mapping professionals with accuracy requirements will find the platform covers their program from flight to final deliverable. ### What drones work with DroneDeploy Aerial? DroneDeploy Aerial works with leading commercial hardware including DJI, Anzu, Freefly and more. The [Supported Hardware page](https://www.dronedeploy.com/product/supported-hardware#drones) lists every recommended model, and the [full supported drone list in the help center](https://help.dronedeploy.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500004964842-Recommended-and-Supported-drones) covers every compatible model – including those with automated flight control and mission planning. ### How accurate is the data? DroneDeploy Aerial processes to sub-inch precision with [RTK](https://help.dronedeploy.com/hc/en-us/articles/11153883310103-DroneDeploy-Instant-RTK-Workflow-How-to-Fly-with-RTK) or [PPK](https://help.dronedeploy.com/hc/en-us/articles/18060546234775-PPK-Processing) workflows. Accuracy is verified automatically after every flight. [GCP support](https://help.dronedeploy.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500004965282-What-are-Ground-Control-Points-GCPs-Checkpoints) is available for projects with specific survey requirements. ### Do we need a licensed drone pilot to fly? Commercial drone operations in the US require FAA Part 107 certification. DroneDeploy supports pilot certification workflows through the platform. Teams without in-house pilots can use [Data on Demand](https://www.dronedeploy.com/data-on-demand) – DroneDeploy dispatches a certified, insured pilot to your site, typically within a week. ### How long does processing take after a flight? Most maps are processed automatically and available within minutes to a few hours of upload. There is no manual processing queue and no file hand-off. Maps, 3D models and annotated outputs are ready when your team is. ### Can we overlay our design files on captured site data? CAD and BIM overlay are built into the platform. Import your design files and compare them against current site conditions. This works across map views, 3D models and inspection outputs. Teams always work from a single reference that reflects the most recent flight. ### Does DroneDeploy Aerial scale to multi-site programs? The platform runs the same way whether you're managing one project or two hundred. Automated flight planning, consistent processing and centralized data storage keep the workflow consistent across every site. Portfolio-level reporting is available for program managers and executives. ### What outputs does a flight produce? Orthomosaic maps, 3D point clouds, digital surface models, thermal imagery, volumetric measurements and progress reports – depending on your camera and workflow. Data is shareable via the platform, exportable in standard formats or available through the API.
