Aerial intelligence / Southeast U.S.

The intelligence
your next decision
depends on.

Precision aerial capture, processed into decision-ready intelligence for the teams responsible for infrastructure, land and capital across the Southeast.

Explore our capabilities

Aerial data is abundant.
Useful intelligence is not.

We are a compliance-first aerial intelligence firm. Our work begins with the decision our client needs to make, then builds the flight plan, sensing method and deliverable around that outcome.

From infrastructure condition to terrain change, construction quantities to crop health, IntelAerial captures what matters and delivers it as evidence your team can act on.

Learn more about IntelAerial

One accountable partner.
Every layer of the mission.

Flight operations, sensing, processing, analysis and delivery are designed as one continuous intelligence chain—not a folder of raw photographs, but decision-ready evidence organized around the question it needs to answer.

01

Aerial mapping + geospatial intelligence

High-resolution orthomosaics, LiDAR terrain models, digital elevation models, dense point clouds and 3D surface reconstructions—processed into GIS-ready formats your engineering and survey teams already use. From topographical contour maps to change-detection overlays, every deliverable is built to support licensed professionals making consequential land-use, design or compliance decisions.

ORTHOMOSAICS / LiDAR / DEM / GIS / POINT CLOUDSView service
02

Thermal + infrastructure inspection

Visual and infrared inspection of roofs, electrical substations, mechanical systems, solar arrays, bridges, culverts, cell towers and utility corridors—without scaffolding, bucket trucks or unnecessary human exposure. Thermal anomaly detection identifies moisture intrusion, overloaded conductors, failing insulation and equipment hot spots before they escalate into outages or safety events.

03

Construction + capital monitoring

Repeatable aerial progress capture, cut-and-fill volumetric analysis, stockpile measurement and lender draw documentation that turns every scheduled flight into an objective, time-stamped record of site conditions. Estimate quantities, verify grading, benchmark against design surfaces and deliver defensible evidence that keeps projects on schedule and within budget.

Protecting the public
from the unlawful drone.

IntelAerial supports public safety officials with unmanned aircraft system (UAS) Detection, Identification, Monitoring, Tracking and Mitigation (DIMT-M) programs that protect the public and critical infrastructure from nefarious or unlawful use of UAS, consistent with 6 U.S.C. § 124n and 6 C.F.R. Part 124.

Operation of certain detection technologies and all mitigation technologies is limited to accredited law enforcement and correctional agencies that meet the training, certification, accreditation and authorized technology requirements of 6 C.F.R. Part 124. We help those agencies build, fund, test and document programs that qualify.

Our public safety division is led by Cecil Moses, a former FBI agent who spent many years with the FBI in Alabama, including leading the Birmingham field office, and later served as Chief of Police of Madison, Alabama.
