Aerial data on autopilot, coast to coast.
Falcon Unmanned Systems runs a network of 30+ autonomous drone docks under FAA-approved beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations. We process every flight into point clouds, 3D models, stockpile volumes and progress reports, and your data stays on site.
From dock flight to finished deliverable
Most providers sell a flight. Falcon delivers the whole chain: we capture the data, keep it secure, process it, and send you answers you can act on. Then we do it again on schedule.
Capture
30+ docks fly scheduled or on-demand BVLOS missions. Manned aircraft and ground scanners cover what docks can't.
Store on site
Raw data stays on local infrastructure, so you control it, with privacy and security built in.
Process
Photogrammetry, LiDAR classification and ground-control QA turn raw captures into survey-grade data.
Deliver
Point clouds, DEMs, 3D models, stockpile volumes and construction progress reports.
↻ Repeat flights on the same route line up every dataset with the last, so change is measured rather than estimated.
Every tree, roof and power line, measured
A LiDAR point cloud from a Falcon site survey, colored by elevation. Millions of measured points become terrain models, volumes and design-ready surfaces.
Answers, not just imagery
Construction progress
Same-view dock captures every day or week, cut/fill between dates, and as-built vs design checks.
How it works →
Stockpile volumes
RTK LiDAR volumes for every pile, reported in cubic yards and meters. Nobody walks the piles.

DEMs & utility corridors
Elevation models, conductor and pole capture, and vegetation near the lines, from one LiDAR flight.
How it works →Wherever your site is, we can be there
Falcon's 30+ autonomous docks and network of professional pilots cover projects across the United States. One team plans, flies and processes every job, so you get the same standards and deliverables in every state.
A drone on site, without a pilot on site
A drone dock is a weatherproof base station that stores, charges and launches a drone on its own. Falcon's remote pilots run each mission beyond visual line of sight from our operations center, and the dock's weather station checks conditions before every launch.
- Scheduled or on demand: daily, weekly, or right after a storm, pour or delivery
- Deploy anywhere: rooftop, ground pad or mobile trailer
- Repeatable: the same route every flight, for data that lines up over time
- Safe: we follow local regulations and your site safety plan
Built for sites that can't afford mistakes
$10M aviation policy
Every operation is backed by a $10 million aviation liability insurance policy.
FAA-approved BVLOS
We fly docks remotely under an FAA waiver for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations, an authorization few operators hold.
Your data stays local
On-site data storage keeps sensitive sites private. You own your data.
Processing included
From raw capture to finished deliverable: one team, one invoice, no hand-offs.
