The Buzz About Drones
Universities across the APPA regions have started to implement unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, to inspect facilities infrastructure. No more than five years ago, universities were paying for helicopters to capture images of their campus. Today, some universities have their own fleet of drones to oversee their facilities. The cost of equipment has dramatically lowered due to an influx of commercial drone manufacturers, which allows them to be considered for purchase.
