1 Unmanned Aircraft for GIS Fred Judson, GISP UAS Program Director For Documents

2 How It Began (For Me) Slide From 2013 Formalization of GIS in the district. Implementation of Dynamic Temporal Webmapping. Development of advanced GPS asset data collection and management software. National GIS for Strategic Asset Manageme nt group Governme nt Should Look Beyond - Gartner Research Unmanned Aircraft Systems for mapping of existing roadway assets, conditions and contractor complyancy Start of Asset Data Collection Information and Management System (ADCIMS) Construction GPS implementation through innovative constructron contracts for contractor complyancy and asset management Advanced Asset collection through webbased video log software.?
