Grande Ronde Aerial Intelligence
An Oregon drone service for locating cattle, documenting suspected wolf depredation, mapping crops and yellow star-thistle, and checking for early signs of lightning-triggered fire.
Field notes
The operation pairs a Matrice 350 RTK with an H20T sensor package for thermal, wide, zoom, and rangefinding work, alongside a Mavic 3 Multispectral for RGB, NDVI, and NDRE mapping. Its mission console organizes the service around five profiles, including cattle searches, suspected depredation documentation, yellow star-thistle extent, crop condition, and lightning checks. The site identifies Union County and the Grande Ronde Valley as its operating context and notes that flights depend on authorization, permission, weather, terrain, and aircraft readiness.
