AUAV is about data outcomes, not drones.

James Rennie
Director
James is a natural resource scientist who worked for 17 years in government and consulting engineering companies.
He has held senior leadership roles in local and multi-national companies and provided consulting services to government agencies, mining companies, asset managers and land developers.
With thousands of professional UAV flights completed, and 10 years prior to that flying fixed-wing RC, he has gained flying and mapping experience in Antarctica, Armenia and throughout Australia.
He fills the role of Chief Controller and is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the business.
AUAV are really pushing the boundaries of what this technology can achieve, and unlike most of the drone guys out there, they actually understand survey and what is required for accurate data and QC
