INITIALIZING DRONEWORKS
Drone Discovery
Drones scout crops, measure plant health and spray fields precisely, so farmers use less water, fertilizer and chemicals.
Ag drone operator · Precision-ag specialist · Agronomist
Construction teams fly sites weekly to track progress, measure earthwork and catch problems before they become expensive.
Site drone pilot · Virtual design & construction (VDC) specialist · Project engineer
Surveyors use drones to measure land accurately over large areas, producing topographic maps and elevation models.
Survey technician · UAS mapping specialist · Geospatial analyst
Drones create up-to-date, high-resolution maps of places satellites and airplanes can't capture as quickly or in as much detail.
UAS mapping technician · Photogrammetrist · Cartographer
Geographic Information Systems turn drone data into layers you can analyze with other map data to answer questions about places.
GIS technician · GIS analyst · Geospatial developer
Engineers both use drones as measurement tools and design the drones themselves, from airframes to autopilots.
Aerospace engineer · Electrical engineer · Embedded software engineer
Police, fire and emergency agencies use drones to see situations quickly and safely, protecting both the public and responders.
Police/sheriff UAS pilot · Firefighter UAS pilot · Emergency management specialist
Search teams use drones, especially with thermal cameras, to cover large or dangerous areas faster than people on foot.
SAR volunteer / team member · Emergency management UAS lead · Park ranger
Drones see through smoke with thermal cameras, map fire edges, and even help light prescribed burns that reduce wildfire risk.
Wildland fire UAS pilot · Structure-fire drone team member · Fire behavior analyst
Power, water and gas utilities inspect thousands of miles of lines and equipment, keeping crews off poles and out of helicopters.
Utility UAS inspector · Line technician · Vegetation management specialist
Bridges, towers, wind turbines, tanks and tunnels are inspected by drones so people don't have to climb or rope into danger.
UAS inspection pilot · Inspection data analyst · Wind technician
Drones changed filmmaking. Shots that once needed a helicopter or crane are now possible for students and studios alike.
Aerial cinematographer · FPV pilot · Video editor
Scientists use drones to measure coastlines, rivers, glaciers, pollution and ecosystems in places that are hard or unsafe to reach.
Environmental scientist · Field technician · Hydrologist
Foresters use drones to count and measure trees, find disease, plan harvests and replant after wildfires.
Forestry technician · Forester · Reforestation drone operator
Biologists count, track and study animals from above, often disturbing them less than people on foot or in aircraft.
Wildlife biologist · Field technician · Conservation drone pilot
Transportation agencies use drones for bridges, traffic studies and crash scenes, and they are preparing airspace for air taxis.
DOT UAS coordinator · Transportation engineer · Survey technician
Drone delivery moves medical supplies, packages and food. It is one of the most complex drone operations because it combines autonomy, airspace and logistics.
Remote operations pilot/flight operator · Fleet technician · Operations manager
Drones help inside factories and warehouses, and manufacturing drones is itself a growing U.S. industry.
Drone assembly technician · Quality engineer · Manufacturing engineer
Militaries use uncrewed aircraft for reconnaissance, logistics and training. Defense is also a major source of drone careers, research and engineering.
Military UAS operator · UAS maintainer · Intelligence analyst
Archaeologists map sites in detail and use drone sensors to reveal buried features that are invisible from the ground.
Field archaeologist · Cultural resource management (CRM) technician · Geospatial specialist
From hurricanes to Mars, researchers push drones into new places and build the next generation of autonomous aircraft.
Research scientist · Research engineer · Lab technician
