About this episode

This episode discusses the integration of various data collection methods and the challenges in delivering this data to non-technical clients.

In this week's episode of Uncrewed Views, Matt Collins speaks with Russell Hall and Greg Floor, Senior Survey Project Managers at Langan Engineering. The three discuss how Langan fuses drone, mobile mapping, and ground-based sensor data into cohesive deliverables for complex private-sector projects, the real bottlenecks in getting rich datasets into the hands of non-technical clients, and how the FCC foreign drone ban and upcoming Part 108 rulemaking are shaping fleet decisions and long-range operational planning.
