SmartDrone Corporation

SmartDrone Corporation is an American maker of survey drones. It builds drone hardware and software for land surveyors and survey firms. The company is based in Tyler, Texas.

The company's Magellan drone is a survey grade LiDAR and photogrammetry drone built for land surveyors. CYAN is an in-field software tool that checks work before crews leave a site. Pulse is a processor that lets firms manage data in house. PulseCloud is a data service for firms that want SmartDrone staff to process their data.

SmartDrone also sells a membership model. Under it, a firm gets drone surveying without buying and managing the hardware itself. The site says the model covers quoting, capture, processing and delivery. A comparison page sets membership against ownership on cost, risk and return.

The company says its work produces topographic maps, surface models, contours and CAD ready files. The site lists sample data sets that show these outputs. The site also includes example sites, such as a large industrial warehouse, a mixed use development, a quarry, a land development, farm land and a wooded hillside.

Rob Cammack is the founder and chief executive. The site says he is an FAA Part 107 certified pilot. Other named leaders include Drew Whitehurst, executive vice president of products and services, and Hayes Wilkinson, geospatial data lead. Bailey Franklin leads marketing.

The company's stated purpose is to make aerial mapping easier to adopt and easier to trust. The site says the company is American made and offers U.S.-based support. It describes workflows built for surveyors, with quality checks that aim to cut rework.

Firms can call +1 (888) 708-8818 or request an in-person demo through the website. The site also has pages for a knowledge base, a blog and resources. Its social accounts include Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn and YouTube.
