MundoGEO,  along with the support of companies and institutions, held on October 25th a seminar on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for the mapping sector.  The event was held on Bourbon Convention Ibirapuera, in São Paulo (SP), and gathered 412 participants, both on-site and online.

UAV technology is gaining more and more users, and can be used for various applications, from defense and intelligence to the production of maps, in the areas of environment, forestry, agriculture, infrastructure, land management, among others. The models currently available and under development have different features and sensors, and its best use for each application is still unknown.

In addition to presentations on large, medium and small UAVs, the public attended a presentation made by professionals from the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) of Brazil, demonstrating the situation of the Brazilian regulations for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles .

To Emerson Granemann, Director and Publisher of MundoGEO, “the highlights of the event were the clarification of the classification of devices, the importance of training pilots and how data collected by UAVs can be used, which goes far beyond mapping,” he said.
