We are very pleased to announce that the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) has contracted with DroneMapper to provide imagery processing services for the next 5 years. UDAF collects high resolution imagery for use in conservation planning and management of natural resources. As an example, DroneMapper recently processed an imagery set as part of Utah’s effort to mitigate salinity migration into the Colorado River.
UDAF conducted an evaluation of other service providers like DroneMapper and standalone imagery processing software packages, and found that DroneMapper meets their needs in terms of quality and affordability.
We look forward to providing services to the State of Utah and its researchers to keep its lands sustainable and productive. For more information on UDAF, please visit: http://ag.utah.gov/

Nice work man!
Are you going to be able to get a COA for this project? It seems like a perfect opportunity to utilize and demonstrate your capabilities, Utah has so much open country. Awesome news.
Part of that salinity mitigation project just caused a small earthquake near me, ha.

Our client already has a CoA!

Perfect! Congratulations again, this is going to be good for the whole community. I hope you guys promote the hell out of this project.
Comment by Bret C on January 28, 2013 at 2:55pm Pierre - the Utah opportunity sounds like an excellent opportunity for your company as well as the entire DIY Drone community. I hope you are also able to promote the use of small UAV's though this as well. Best of luck to you!

Comment by Jack Crossfire on January 28, 2013 at 7:04pm There are 3 ways to make money: government, government, & government, but once you get in the door, you're set for a long time. That must have taken a huge piece of real life negotiating instead of blog commenting.
Comment by Robby Stowe on January 28, 2013 at 7:05pm Thats awesome! I live in Utah, maybe this will help get more people interested in what we do and also bring some good press for drones!
Comment by JP on January 28, 2013 at 7:09pm We hope so too! Thanks for the great comments all.
