Drone LiDAR Scanning
Millimeter-accurate aerial point clouds captured by sensor-equipped UAVs.
// Coverage / FL
Engineering-grade aerial LiDAR anywhere in Florida — captured by FAA-certified pilots near your site, processed to one national QA standard, delivered in the formats your team works in.
01// Field Notes
Florida’s terrain is flat, low, and wet: sand ridges, pine flatwoods, and wetlands where a foot of elevation change can redraw a drainage plan. Subtropical vegetation never drops its leaves, so LiDAR’s ability to punch through palmetto understory and cypress canopy matters year-round rather than seasonally. Summer brings near-daily afternoon thunderstorms and the June-through-November hurricane season, so crews fly morning windows and build weather slack into schedules.
Class B airspace covers Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, with Class C at Jacksonville and a string of busy coastal towers between them. Military airspace is a real factor: Eglin’s ranges dominate the Panhandle, MacDill sits inside the Tampa metro, and Cape Canaveral operations periodically restrict the Space Coast.
Florida’s relentless residential and commercial construction — master-planned communities in Central Florida, logistics parks along I-4 and I-75, and coastal redevelopment — generates more repeat topo work than almost any other state. Utility-scale solar buildout across former ranch and citrus land and post-storm damage assessment add strong secondary demand.

03// FAQ
Most Florida projects fall between $2,500 and $15,000 depending on acreage, vegetation, deliverables, and whether certified survey control is required. Small single-site scans start lower; large or corridor projects are quoted per linear mile. Send a KML of your site and we return an exact quote within 24 hours.
Yes — Pro LiDAR contracts vetted, FAA-certified pilots across Florida, including the Miami area. Because capture happens locally, you don't pay travel mobilization for most sites, and weather windows can be hit quickly.
Our point clouds, DEMs, and contours are engineering-grade and drop directly into CAD, GIS, and BIM workflows. When a deliverable must carry a professional land surveyor's certification, we partner with licensed surveyors in Florida to provide it. Remote Optix Inc. and Pro LiDAR are not professional land surveyors and do not represent themselves as such.
