This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The core business is using drones in everyday work, primarily, to create a Digital Terrain Model (DTM), an evaluation model, 3D building models. Some of them can be very powerful tools for other branches, such as architects, urbanists, etc.
- Remote sensing
- Sales of geodetic instruments, currently, they are negotiating to become a reseller for drones for photogrammetry and remote sensing.

Resources needed
The equipment is very expensive (sensors, UAS, cameras). Prices can amount to hundreds of thousands of euros. It all depends on the project the client is looking for. Also, there is needed strong hardware, good software, educated people who will know what to do with the data obtained from the field.
Evidence of success
Proof of success is that the company, which is a micro company, operates in a very small market, has not yet closed and after a 3-year of deficit began to operate at a profit. All from their own private capital. Without a single euro of help from investors, the state, or anyone else.
Potential for learning or transfer
By using various cameras and sensors, high-quality data can be obtained in the shortest possible time. The big problem is that people are not aware of it and therefore do not want to pay for quality, which applies to the use of drones for geodetic purposes, and even for the purpose of various other activities.
