UAS & Aerial Survey

Resgrid for Drone & Aerial Survey Companies

Wildland fire flyovers, disaster damage assessment, infrastructure inspection: mobilize pilots in hours, track crews deployed into incident areas, keep Part 107 currency straight, and hand clients mission documentation that closes the contract. Resgrid is mission control for UAS operations.

Free for up to 10 users & units • No contracts • Set up in about 15 minutes

The operational side of flying missions

The flying is the easy part. Getting the right pilot, aircraft, and paperwork to a disaster area on short notice is where operations break down.

Short-notice mobilization

A wildland incident or hurricane response contract activates today. Which pilots are current, available, and within range? The answer lives in texts and voicemail.

Currency and credential drift

Part 107 certificates, recurrent training, night-ops waivers, and client-required credentials expire quietly in a spreadsheet — discovered when a contract audit asks.

Crews deep in incident areas

Teams deploy into burn zones and disaster areas with spotty comms. Base has no live picture of where crews and vehicles are, or when they last checked in.

Mission records rebuilt after the fact

Clients, agencies, and insurers want who flew, where, when, and what happened. Reconstructing it from pilot memory and photo timestamps burns billable days.

How Resgrid solves it

Dispatch, readiness, tracking, and documentation for flight operations — cloud-hosted or self-hosted, with an API that fits your data pipeline.

Mission callouts with availability

Dispatch missions with location, priority, and scope by push, SMS, email, and voice. Pilots respond with availability and ETA — deployable strength in minutes, not a day of calls.

Pilot currency tracking

Part 107, recurrent training, waivers, medicals, and client-specific credentials tracked with expiration dates. Staff missions from verified-current pilots only.

Crew & vehicle tracking

Ground crews and response vehicles report live positions via the Responder and Unit apps or hardware GPS through Traccar. Base sees every deployed asset on one map.

Aircraft & equipment readiness

Track aircraft, sensors, and support gear as units with statuses and staffing. Know which platforms are mission-ready before you commit to the contract.

Mission documentation trail

GPS-stamped notes, photos, and timeline logs accumulate on every mission call. Export complete records as PDF for clients, agencies, and audits.

API-first & self-hostable

Open source with a first-class API — integrate mission data with your GIS and deliverables pipeline, or run the whole platform on your own infrastructure.

Replace the ops-by-spreadsheet stack

Most UAS operators run world-class sensors and stone-age operations tooling.

Billable days lost

Auto-timestamped logs & PDF export

Beyond $1,000–$4,000 per year in subscriptions, the real costs are missions lost to slow mobilization and billable days burned on documentation. Resgrid captures the record as the mission flies.

More missions, cleaner contracts

Time back

  • Crew availability confirmed in minutes when the activation call comes
  • Mission timelines and logs build themselves during operations
  • Client deliverable packages start from exported records, not memory
  • Check-in visibility replaces worry about crews in low-comms areas

Budget back

  • Faster mobilization means more short-notice incident contracts won
  • Audit-ready currency records protect agency and enterprise contracts
  • Consolidate project tools, trackers, and log systems into one platform
  • Free tier covers small operations; self-host for zero license cost

Savings estimates based on typical published pricing of project management and tracking tools; results vary by fleet size and mission tempo. Resgrid complements — not replaces — flight planning and airspace authorization tools.

Be wheels-up while competitors are still texting
