OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: PLANNING DRONE FLIGHTS WITH LAND SCOUT

Alex Sherman – Lead GIS Specialist and Certified Drone Pilot Danielle Dooty – GIS and Mapping Specialist

Land Scout

• Land Scout is a web-based mapping application and project

management tool.

• Land Scout was designed to provide useful information during the

planning and siting stages of many projects, such as environmental due diligence, conservation and mitigation planning.

• Target industries include:
• Agriculture
• Oil and Gas
• Construction
• Utilities
• Government

Land Scout and Drones

• Drones are an excellent way to

supplement desktop GIS analysis.

• By implementing drone technology, a

GIS analyst can:

• See what the human eye cannot
• Save time and money
• Make project decisions

Use Land Scout to pre-plan your drone flights, capture current images and bring them to the desktop for further analysis.

Make better land management decisions with Land Scout’s array of layers and tools.

Pre-Planned Flight Path in Land Scout

Flight Path

• Exported from

Land Scout and imported into Litchi Mission Hub

Add NDVI images to Land Scout

• Landsat 8 Satellite image 08/07/2019
• Import raster files into Land Scout
• Save NDVI monthly or yearly to

perform comparative analysis on crop health, farming practices, and crop management.

Save as individual projects by area of land, crop, or livestock grazing areas.

• Surface Ownership:
• The private surface ownership layer on

Land Scout made us aware of which property we had permission to fly over.

• Physical Obstructions and

Vicinity:

• A quick look at the aerial

can confirm whether there are any impediments to flying.

Objects can be digitized in Land Scout to be exported to GIS for future reference.

• Sharing:
• Use collaboration

rooms to automatically place the captured images at the project area and roll out the data to other team members.
