Working closely federal and state FAA, AggieAir has authored over 20 Certificates of Authorization (COA). AggieAir specializes in large area, high altitude COAs.

AggieAir specializes in large area, high altitude COAs in close proximity to airports.

Analytical Tool Development

AggieAir renderings of data analysis

With a team of photogrammetrists, GIS analysts, and scientists, AggieAir develops custom tools for analyzing crop health, water management, natural environments, and habitat monitoring. These tools are carefully compared and tested against the scientific standard of remotes sensing, LandSat LDCM.

Testing

Uncrewed Aircraft

Minion in Flight

Leveraging 10 years of integrating, testing, and deploying scientific grade payloads, AggieAir has the expertise to prove your system is scientific grade and field ready.

  • Sensor Calibration
  • Ground Truthing
  • Full Scale Flight Testing & Integration

Manned Aircraft
