The Discovery Drone leverages Ouster digital lidar for real-time surveying, civil engineering, and earthwork

SmartDrone, a manufacturer of small industrial drones for surveying, civil engineering, and earthwork, announced today that it will be showcasing its new Discovery Drone at AUVSI Xponential in Atlanta, Georgia from August 16th to 19th, 2021. The Discovery Drone is a fully automated, aerial collection platform featuring high-resolution Ouster digital lidar that is designed to augment traditional earth measuring.


The Discovery offers customers fast paybacks and significantly increases productivity in the field by as much as ten times. Additionally, customers can view results in the field in real-time with the company's one-click processing suite.

"We are incredibly excited to showcase the new Discovery Drone which represents a major step-change from traditional mapping to digital, lower-cost, and more efficient surveying. I have spoken with hundreds of land surveyors who all agree that drones and accessible aerial lidar are the next big evolution in earth measuring. Our partnership with Ouster allows us to offer a durable drone solution and high-quality data to our customers for fast one-foot contours," said Rob Cammack CEO for SmartDrone.
