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/

    How much does the DroneMapper SaaS cost? Is the only thing I supply are pictures that I take myself (via my UAV) or do you offer photography services (via your UAV) as well?

  • Thanks Mark. It just so happens we met with USGS at the Federal Center this morning. Iron is just warming up.

    Utah, great start with gov contract!  What about our home state Colorado, any irons in the fire??

  • JP, it's been a pleasure seeing your business grow from its humble beginnings.  Keep up the good work and best of luck.

  • Great!

  • We hope so too! Thanks for the great comments all. 

  • 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!

  • 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.
