UAVDACH e.V. is an association for unmanned aviation. At INTERGEO, it presented use cases and innovations on the Unmanned Systems Stage.

UAV DACH presented the topic of UAVs and associated solutions at INTERGEO in Berlin. What new things did you take away from the event?

It is impressive to see how firmly unmanned aerial systems have already established themselves in the surveying sector. Today, the aim is to use them as efficiently as possible and to process the data in a targeted manner - as automatically as possible and with optimum data quality. Networking stakeholders and ensuring the best possible exchange of information is an important task of INTERGEO and a key objective of UAV DACH, which fits together perfectly.

UAVs are established tools in the geospatial industry. What areas of application impressed you at INTERGEO?

I was impressed by the constantly evolving sensors for data acquisition and the ever-improving software solutions for automated data processing at INTERGEO. Data is being collected faster and faster and in the highest quality, in some cases with different data per flight, and transportation tasks are also being taken on - this will drive the drone economy forward economically for the benefit of all.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how important are UAVs in finding sustainable solutions for the planet?

Definitely 10. Drones in themselves are already a sustainable technology that will have a significant impact on climate-friendly air travel as a whole. In addition, drones can be used to implement more resource-efficient solutions not only for surveying applications, but also for logistics, rescue, agriculture and other sectors of the economy.

Mr. Wieland, thank you for talking to us.
