WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Construction teams need reliable drone hardware for regulated environments and specialized applications like airport inspections. Legacy Site Scan users need limited flight planning capabilities without full cloud processing.

The Solution

Provides FAA Type Certified drone hardware for highly regulated airspace and maintains Site Scan Limited Edition for basic flight planning, though full cloud-based processing capabilities were discontinued.
