BETHESDA Md. August 18 2014 – The first mapping calibration test course for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) will be established by ASPRS at the Reno Stead airport an FAA-designated UAS test site.  The course will include ground surveyed targets of varying height radiometric targets undulating surfaces “surprise” targets and simulated flight restricted areas.  The first UAS flights of the test course will be conducted in conjunction with the UAS MAPPING 2014 RENO symposium on October 21-22 2014 in Reno Nevada.

 

The UAS Mapping 2014 RENO symposium is focused on “Change is in the Air” with a mission to acquaint attendees with new technologies demonstrate survey mapping and remote sensing capabilities of UAS data and provide a forum for UAS collaboration among government private sector and academia.   The full program is available online and includes representatives from such well-known companies as Google 3D Robotics Skyward Trimble Leica GeoCue Pix4D Silent Falcon Multirotor Service-Drone Altavian senseFly Velodyne Optech Phase One and Aerovironment among many others.  The symposium is being organized by the ASPRS Northern California Region.
