PPK vs RTK in Drone Mapping Explained
When drone operators talk about accuracy, they’re not debating meters—they’re debating centimeters. Standard GPS signals from satellites can drift off target by several feet, which is unacceptable for high-stakes missions like surveying, mapping, or public safety. That’s where advanced GNSS correction methods—PPK (Post-Processed Kinematic) and RTK (Real-Time Kinematic)—come in. For professionals comparing PPK vs RTK drones, the conversation often boils down...

The Impact of Tariffs and Geopolitical Challenges on the Drone Industry
The drone industry has become a backbone technology for industries like energy, construction, agriculture, and public safety. But as demand for drones grows, so does the geopolitical risk. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China—most notably, Section 301 tariffs and new 2025 reciprocal duties—have turned drone procurement into a high-stakes challenge. In this article, we’ll break down what the new...

Drones For Traffic Control, And 11 Police Departments Already Ahead
Historically, drones have been used by the military for reconnaissance and combat purposes, but their utility has expanded to public safety applications, including traffic monitoring by police departments. State agencies began experimenting with drones for such purposes in the mid-2000s. Other tasks included the likes of aerial surveillance to crime scene analysis. In 2020, a report from Minnesota documented the use...
