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 CLOUDS
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.

THERMAL / IR / ANOMALY DETECTION / ASSET CONDITION
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.

PROGRESS / VOLUMETRICS / DRAWS / EARTHWORK
04

Waterway + environmental monitoring

Thermal outfall screening, shoreline erosion tracking, river-terminal observation, stormwater compliance documentation and terrain-change analysis with georeferenced, time-stamped evidence built for MS4 permits, coastal restoration programs and environmental field teams. Consistent flights over the same corridor reveal erosion patterns, vegetation encroachment and discharge anomalies over time.

MS4 / WATERWAYS / STORM RESPONSE / EROSION
05

Precision agriculture

Multispectral and NDVI crop intelligence for early stress detection, stand-count variation, canopy density measurement and field drainage assessment—giving producers, agronomists and crop consultants a clear, data-driven view of exactly where to scout, treat or intervene. LiDAR-derived elevation models support irrigation planning by identifying low points across hundreds of acres per flight.

NDVI / CROP HEALTH / FIELD MAPPING / MULTISPECTRAL
06

Commercial aerial media

Cinematic 4K photo and video for real estate marketing, development visualization, hospitality branding and destination storytelling—planned with the same regulatory discipline and flight precision as our technical missions. Professional, broadcast-quality assets packaged in immediately usable formats for web, print and presentation.

PHOTO / VIDEO / SITE STORYTELLING / 4K
07

Law enforcement + public safety

Evidence-grade aerial documentation for crash and crime scene reconstruction, search-and-rescue coordination, tactical situational awareness and critical incident overwatch. High-resolution orthomosaics and 3D scene models preserve spatial relationships, scale and chain-of-custody integrity for investigative review, prosecutorial use and after-action reporting—without contaminating the physical scene.

mission is.

Headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama—home to Redstone Arsenal, NASA Marshall and the highest concentration of aerospace and defense engineering in the nation.

About our operations

The flight is only
the beginning.

01

Decision-ready evidence

We deliver clear reports and GIS-ready outputs—not a folder of raw photographs. Every product is organized around the question it needs to answer.

02

Compliance by design

FAA Part 107 operations, mission-specific airspace planning, U.S.-based data handling and documented component provenance for applicable federal-aid work.

03

Professional accountability

Led by aerospace legal and commercial experience, with licensed PLS and PE pathways for survey-grade, boundary or sealed professional deliverables when required.

Mission confidence,
documented.

For government and federally funded work, the aircraft is only one link in the chain. IntelAerial can document the airframe, controller, camera and ground-control system used for applicable missions, supported by a segregated fleet strategy designed around federal restrictions.

FAA Part 107 operations Component-level records U.S.-based data handling Mission-specific authorization

Built for consequential
decisions in the field.

01
Government + public works

Infrastructure condition assessments, stormwater compliance documentation, ROW encroachment monitoring and federally compliant data capture with full component-provenance records for FHWA and state DOT projects.

02
Construction + engineering

Progress monitoring, volumetric earthwork measurement, cut-and-fill verification, as-built vs. design surface comparison and lender draw documentation—turning every scheduled flight into defensible project records.

03
Utilities + renewable energy

Transmission line corridor mapping, vegetation encroachment detection, solar array thermal inspection, substation condition assessment and ROW planning with high-density LiDAR and infrared sensing.

04
Lenders + insurers

Independent aerial verification of construction milestones, roof and property condition assessments, post-storm damage documentation and portfolio-wide site monitoring for risk underwriting and draw approvals.

05
River + marine logistics

River-terminal observation, barge facility monitoring, dock and bulkhead inspection, shoreline erosion tracking and navigational hazard identification across inland waterway corridors.

06
Agriculture

NDVI crop health mapping, stand-count analysis, irrigation drainage modeling, vegetation volume measurement and yield estimation—supporting agronomists and producers with multispectral intelligence.

07
Commercial real estate

Cinematic site photography, development progress visualization, property marketing aerials and roof condition surveys—professional assets that support leasing, acquisition and asset management decisions.

08
Emergency response

Rapid-deployment damage assessment, search-area documentation, post-storm infrastructure surveys, flood-extent mapping and time-critical situational awareness for first responders and insurance adjusters.

09
Law enforcement + public safety

Crash and crime scene reconstruction with court-admissible orthomosaics, missing-person and fugitive search coordination, SWAT and tactical overwatch, perimeter security mapping and community event monitoring—all with documented chain-of-custody and FAA-compliant flight records.
