Talos Aviation is a veteran-founded aerial survey company. It flies mapping, LiDAR and special mission aircraft. The site says the company operates from Tucson, Arizona and Blackstone, Virginia. Its office is at Millionair Tucson, 1840 East Valencia Road, Tucson, Arizona.

The company provides photogrammetry and LiDAR operations. It also does sensor testing, airborne mapping and managed flight operations. The site says it flies for mapping firms and does not compete with its clients for their downstream work.

The company offers special missions, including ISR and C4ISR missions. The site says these are government-adjacent airborne missions supported by veteran expertise. The site says the company can add custom sensors with payloads up to 700 pounds.

The site lists industries served. These include energy and utilities, infrastructure and transportation, land development, emergency management, mining and aggregates, and solar inspection. Examples include pipeline mapping, road surveys and flood mapping.
