Damage estimation

For insurance purposes and to help emergency relief and recovery services, photograph the consequences of accidents and natural catastrophes. Maintain continuous aerial monitoring of disaster and accident areas, using a fleet of Unmanned Aircraft to enable a professional team to efficiently manage recovery efforts.

  • flood and earthquake damage
  • tornado and hurricane damage
  • fire damage

Weather related damage

  • Perform continuous digital elevation mapping, using LIDAR, of regions that have just experienced an earthquake, to monitor the changes in the earth’s surface.
  • Monitor relief efforts in a region that has suffered an environmental catastrophe, such as an earthquake, a tsunami, a hurricane, a tornado, flooding, or, a drought.

Cyclone Nagris in Burma (Myanmar)

Photograph from "The Metro" newspaper, Friday May 9th, 2008, attributed to Xinhua.

Aerial photograph showing some of the devastation in the Irrawaddy delta in Burma (Myanmar) following Cyclone Nagris which struck around 03:04 on Saturday 3rd of May, 2008.

One of the many serious problems related to the location and suitable burial of the many bodies that were decaying in the surrounding water. These decaying bodies would be the source of disease to a population weakened by a variety of injuries sustained during the cyclone, lack of food and lack of fresh drinkling water.

Unmanned Aircraft could be used to locate the bodies and monitor relief efforts.
