Aerial Look Under the Surface: Using UAVs for Advanced Geological Surveying

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are quick and effective performers. Each can fly dozens of bird’s-eye missions a day, and the routes of their short-time flights are easily adjustable: a field team member can quickly reprogram flight lines while replacing batteries between the missions. Drones hover at low altitudes between 40 and 100 m AGL and scan the ground in 400-meter-wide swaths. That enables UAVs to survey dozens of square miles in days and not weeks or months, which would be the norm for a ground-based exploration effort. And yet, they can be employed throughout the life-cycle of a mining project. <a href="https://microavia.medium.com/aerial-look-under-the-surface-using-uavs-for-advanced-geological-surveying-17c19ca123b3">Click Here</a>
