Aviation Services

UAV / Drone technology is exciting and brings with it the ability to offer solutions that were previously too costly or even unobtainable.  If you have a need for aerial video, aerial mapping or specialized aerial services, please contact us and let CDS Aviation assist you with your project.  Why bother with spending capital on the drone, acquiring a pilot, getting the FAA exemption, when you can outsource to a professional.  CDS Aviation can collect the data for you, and even render or process the collected data into a format that is useful for your needs.  We have a growing squadron of UAV platforms that can be applied to almost any task, from HD video / photography production to mapping to 3D rendering. 

c360® Solutions

 The ability to check on a job site and have a record of the condition or status is vital on some construction projects.  CDS has received trademark protection for our unique application of panoramic photography, orthomosaic and laser point cloud products.  

 Our product line is broken into three categories named c360®, c360® Ortho View and c360® LASer View.  Each of these products allows the site owner to view and manipulate the finished product using a web browser with data from our cloud driven system.  This eliminates the hassle associated with managing large volumes of data.  Anyone that has worked with LAS files and Orthos will quickly realize that the data file sizes involved are large.  Couple the issues of shear volume and the long term storage requirements, and you can have a head ache in the making.

 Our cloud driven solution allows you to view and share your site data without the heavy local storage requirements.  Have a look at our demo page at http://c360.solutions.
