Our aircraft can provide a view of a target from above that people can not see from the ground. Drones are a much cheaper and quicker option than manned aircraft and may work in certain weather conditions & environments that manned aircraft can't.


We can provide media (HD picture & videos) that may be needed in a matter of minutes after each flight which can be very useful for time sensitive events.


The FAA can also grant us SGI Waivers for certain operations that are not generally permitted.
