Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) have changed the characteristics of imagery workflows within organizations. Pairing GIS with sUAS allows us to deliver accurate, timely, and meaningful high-resolution data to organizations at a lower cost point when compared to traditional aircraft and satellite systems.​

geocgi streamlines the delivery of sUAS and Enterprise GIS capabilities to organizations. We provide clients flexibility and agility with rapid mapping in the field, traditional orthomosaics, 3D webscenes, point clouds, and meshes. We monitor and record inspections of complex projects through sUAS and GIS technology. Resulting products are integrated into existing raster catalogs using Esri’s Mosaic Dataset and other enterprise geospatial solutions – providing end-users with near-immediate access to sUAS products.

Through the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (OACSIM), geocgi has performed sUAS data collection on behalf of the US Army at multiple Army installations including; Letterkenny Army Depot, McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, Watervliet Army Arsenal, and Picatinny Arsenal. Additionally, we performed a feasibility study on behalf of Marine Corps Installations Pacific (MCIPAC) for sUAS services to the region. Commercially, we have performed sUAS data collection for a variety of sites including James Madison’s Montpelier, the Pavilion at Rancho Mission Viejo, Mojave Desert Land Trust, GHA Racing, Lorton Arts Foundation, and PA Bowen Farmstead.
