ERAU Students Use Drones To Map Ancient Cities – September 11, 2022 at 05:24AM

Drone Usage Expands To Archeology As Students Map Ancient Cities Two professors and 14 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) students, graduates, and undergraduates of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) program took a service-learning trip with drone in tow, to New Mexico and Arizona this summer, to work with archeologists in mapping ancient cities! Their mission was to collect virtual data on a variety of locations using thermal infrared, LiDAR, multispectral and visible light systems of their drones. They also were eligible to earn up to nine credit hours for the project, working as part of a Study America Program through Embry-Riddle’s Office of Global Engagement.
