Advanced LiDAR Drones in the Construction industry play a crucial role in ensuring Precision & Safety, and cost efficiency.

  • Rotary-wing drones are used in corridor mapping for utilities and railways, they ensure surveillance, and inspection, and give real-time monitoring data.
  • Advanced LiDAR-facilitated SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), these drones navigate autonomously, even in environments where GPS is unreliable.

Key Players and Innovations

Several major players lead the LiDAR Drones industry, including Leica Geosystems AG - Part of Hexagon, Ouster Inc., SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd., and Teledyne FLIR LLC. These companies are at the forefront of innovation, continually developing new technologies to meet the industry's evolving needs. For instance, YellowScan has unveiled the DT46 LiDAR drone, a fixed-wing system designed for long-distance inspections and the creation of highly precise digital twins.

Also in January 2025, Draganfly announced a strategic collaboration with Volatus Aerospace. This collaboration will address the growing demand for precision data acquisition in energy markets by integrating Volatus’ advanced Bathymetric sensor technology with Draganfly’s heavy-lift drone. Additionally, Dragonfly’s Heavy Lift Drone, known for its ability to carry substantial payloads and operate with extended flight durations, combined with Volatus Aerospace’s Bathymetric LiDAR solutions, will enable precise mapping of underwater environments critical for oil and gas exploration.
