Remote Sensing and UAVs

PR Newswire reports that analysts at Frost and Sullivan are suggesting there will be a booming market for manufacturers of UAVs and sensors for Remote Sensing applications. They see ample opportunities for partering between these two sectors of industry. Growing demand for SAR, IR and other forms of imagery, particularly for specialized applications can make UAVs a platform of choice, as opposed to dedicated space vehicles.

Time to give some of our friends in those sectors a call, such as our VETS GWAC partner Navmar Applied Sciences Corporation.

About Me

Name: David G. Smith PE PLS

Location: Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States

Originally from Massachusetts, I grew up in Germany during ten years of the Cold War.
Since then, I call Pennsylvania home, by way of El Paso, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington.
I began in the Surveying field right out of high school, and while getting my B.Sc at Penn State, pursued a wide variety of academic interests, from surveying and photogrammetry to physics and civil engineering to computer science, and began to get involved in the still-fledgling fields of GIS and Remote Sensing, including a student GIS project for the City of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Over the past 20 years I have fused all of these disciplines, having obtained my license as a Professional Land Surveyor, followed by my Professional Engineer license, with my longstanding interest in computer science, to develop and deliver a wide variety of applications geared toward support of surveying, CAD, GIS, engineering and environmental science.
I am currently Vice-President and Director of Geospatial Information Technology for Synergist Technology Group, Inc., a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in federal projects in geospatial and environmental disciplines.
