This document discusses using unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for aerial photomapping at a lower cost than traditional methods. It describes developing a minimum viable product (MVP) UAS that uses commercial off-the-shelf components costing around $1300 per unit and $6 per hour to operate. The system is targeted at industries like mining, lumber, and agriculture that need high resolution aerial imagery. The goal is to refine the MVP and introduce a smaller, ruggedized version with improved ease of use.
