Want to see drones and systems in action?
What to expect at the Outdoor Flying Demonstrations:

Seeing drones and software in action before you invest in a system provides much-needed insight into their capabilities. That’s why Commercial UAV Expo, in cooperation with Sundance Media Group, allows you to see and compare systems in real-world scenarios.

Leading vendors will demonstrate a range of drone applications. Not only will airframe and sensor capabilities be showcased, but a sophisticated AV setup will allow users to view resulting data sets and processing solutions for the full end-to-end view of the technology. Drone experts will be on hand to narrate live scenarios and field questions from the audience.

  • Complimentary attendance is included with all passes.
  • Cost: Attendees can purchase round-trip transportation from Caesar’s Forum for added convenience ($50)
  • What’s Included:  Refreshments and snacks, bathroom facilities, bleachers, shade structures (not over bleachers).

Made Possible by:

Frontier Precision Demonstrations

Frontier Precision will be demonstrating the latest ground-breaking survey grade fixed wing solution, the Quantum Systems Trinity Pro with the Phase One P5. Fly higher and further with the 120 megapixel sensor capturing up to 3 frames per second.

Frontier Precision will be demonstrating YellowScan’s latest LiDAR sensor used for exploring underwater and ground topography with an impressive 2 secchi depth water penetration and 44 degree field of view. This innovative sensor will be carried by Freefly Systems’ workhorse, the Alta X.

Participating Companies:

Discover the ALT6D’s prowess live at the Commercial UAV Expo! AERIALOOP’s VTOL drone, powering over 14,000 flights in Quito, ECUADOR, where it daily operates at an altitude of 10,000 feet. The aircraft showcases unparalleled logistics and ISR capabilities. Versatility and dependability combine for an unmissable demonstration!

In this drone demonstration, GeoCue and The LiDAR Pros are set to show the efficient capabilities of TrueView LiDAR technology in forensic car crash investigations. When dealing with car accidents, forensic experts must be sure all injured parties receive emergency aid before they can begin their investigation, then analyze the scene to determine the cause of the accident, and swiftly clear the area to resume normal traffic—all while ensuring their own safety. In this demonstration, we’ll showcase how TrueView’s cutting-edge handheld SLAM technology with the new TrueView Go116S, and aerial drone LiDAR, such as the TrueView 535, enable the rapid and precise documentation of an entire crash scene. This technology facilitates the creation of a real-time point cloud that serves as a Forensic Digital Twin—a detailed 3D virtual model mirroring the actual scene. Discover how TrueView LiDAR technology, both terrestrial and aerial, can meticulously capture every facet of a crash scene for comprehensive photogrammetric and 3D point cloud analysis. This advanced solution not only secures all critical on-site data but also optimizes the evidence collection process. Our demonstration will illustrate how TrueView LiDAR, both on the ground and in the air, can expedite forensic investigations, enhance the quantity and quality of evidence gathered, and safeguard law enforcement personnel from potential hazards.

On demo day, we’ll demonstrate the IF800 Tomcat integration of the Gremsy VIO F1 capability into the system, showcasing how thermal sensors enhance situational awareness and accuracy. Additionally, we’ll highlight the hot-swapping features of the dovetail mount to the Sony ILX-LR1 sensor, emphasizing the platform’s modularity and versatility. Finally, we’ll provide a walkthrough of the new features in our Ground Control Station software, Inspired Ground Control (IGC), allowing participants to explore the latest functionalities designed to improve user experience, mission planning, and general IU improvements.
