Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide drone damage assessment?
Drone Damage Assessment & Aerial Survey
Yes.
KDT provides drone damage assessment and aerial survey after hurricanes, floods and oil spills: drone crews that capture imagery, maps and 3D models of damaged areas fast, so damage assessment teams, insurers and owners can see what's there.
Typical configuration
- Sensors
- High-resolution visual; thermal and multispectral where useful
- Products
- Orthomosaics, inspection photos, video, 3D models, elevation data
- Coverage
- From single structures to large areas over multiple flights, any size
- Accuracy
- Ground control or RTK positioning where survey accuracy is needed
- Pilots
- Certificated as the job and airspace require
- Delivery
- GIS-ready files and shareable map links
After a hurricane or flood, the first question is how bad it is and where. Ground teams take days to cover what a drone crew can image in hours, and they can't safely get onto every roof, levee or washed-out slope. Aerial survey gives everyone the same picture, fast.
KDT drone crews fly the damaged area and turn the imagery into orthomosaic maps, before-and-after comparisons, close inspection photos and 3D models. Damage assessment teams use them to prioritize ground visits; owners, insurers and agencies use them to document losses; and on oil spills they show where the oil is along the shoreline. Pilots are certificated as the job and airspace require, and flights are coordinated with any incident Air Operations or temporary flight restriction.
We deliver files in formats GIS teams can use directly, and we can fly the same area again later to track recovery.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide drone damage assessment?
Yes. Our drone crews survey damaged areas after hurricanes, floods and spills and deliver imagery, maps and 3D models.
What do I get from a drone survey?
Typically orthomosaic maps, close inspection photos, video and, if needed, 3D models and elevation data, in formats your GIS team can use.
Can drones replace ground damage assessment?
Not entirely. They speed it up and show ground teams where to go first, and they cover places people can't safely reach.
Can you fly the same area again later?
Yes. Repeat surveys show change over time, useful for tracking recovery or shoreline cleanup.
