We specialize capturing and analyzing aerial images as a means to produce visual impact studies, viewshed surveys and detection of unauthorized drones. We use 10 and 15 meter ‘periscope’ masts, fixed-wing UAV’s, satellite imagery, and multi-rotor drones to collect aerial photographic viewshed studies and time-lapse data. Our deliverables: annotated overlays, cross sections, 3D cad data, and height-specific 360° views, are used for marketing, zoning, site planning, and architectural design. With 19 years of professional experience and various aerial platform inventions, we are able to access highly restricted, urban airspace, when others commercial entities cannot. We have captured 360 degree panoramas for many of the tallest proposed buildings across the US. Our moored balloon is often flying above Washington, DC, and New York City. If you see an aerostat balloon over the city, it’s probably us.

*DDIS services come with analysis overlays, height data, image documentation, and visual impact recommendations.
