Independent Drone Consultancy

What is drone consultancy, and what do they do?

We provide independent drone consultancy and support on all things drone-related. This covers a broad and varied spectrum as this sector is still in its infancy for many. We have years of experience and partner with some of the leading drone experts in Ireland to provide you with all the information.

Drone technology is rapidly changing; More industries are beginning to see the value of drones worldwide. We are commercial drone operators and want our experience and knowledge to help you. Our drone pilots have years of experience in completing complex drone operations, and we specialise in operating in Dublin City, which has many challenges for drone operators.

As drone technology evolves, so do counter-drone solutions. There are many reasons businesses and people require counter-drone technology, from privacy to safety. We advise on the options and ensure we keep up to date with the latest developments in counter-drone technology. Independent Drone Consultancy requires keeping abreast of this ever changing industry and we are deeply embedded in the industry here in Ireland.

From sensors to safety management, our drone consultancy services can advise which training or products you need for your business.

If you plan on implementing drones into your business, one important yet overlooked area to consider is the IT impact of drones. Modern drones capture high-resolution images, often 40MB per image, and an aerial map can have thousands of photos depending on the size of the area surveyed. We can advise on the management of projects and data and also the GDPR compliance implications.

Uncrewed aerial vehicles, or drones as more commonly known, are not the intelligent part. The intelligence is in the sensor, or payload and data captured. A UAV provides a way to fly that sensor; getting the most out of the output is where you will benefit.

The Irish Aviation Authority regulates the drone industry in Ireland, and the IAA was the first in the world to provide mandatory online registration of drones over 1kg. There is currently a bill passing through the Dail that may soon bring changes to the industry.

There are also impending EASA rules that will supersede local regulations. We can advise and guide your business through the process of training, hardware selection and insurance requirements.

Councils and Local Authorities, Gardai, and Fire & Ambulance can benefit from drone technology. By improving services and aiding decision-making, drones can reduce costs for state agencies.

Drones play a growing role in Search and Rescue, and many organisations and state agencies are now implementing drones. This needs to be done in a managed way as there is often manned aviation involved in these operations. We work with such organisations to provide them with the advice they need.

We also have many private clients that know drones can help them but may not fully understand how. That is where we come in, we work with these companies to leverage the right technology for their business. We provide the full spectrum of support and advice for an end-to-end solution.

Getting a drone in the air is the easy part; using drone data is where the real benefits are.

We assess the technical and safety abilities a drone needs to achieve results for your business. There are many different types of drones, each with there strengths and weaknesses, and obviously budgetary requirements. Thousands of drones models are currently on the market, with more coming on-stream every week.
