The editor of the Geospatial Solutions monthly newsletter, Eric Gakstatter, has two speaking engagements at the upcoming Commercial UAV Expo, which will be held Oct. 5–7 in Las Vegas. See him live at Caesar’s Palace!

On Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 4:10 p.m. he will address “GPS/GNSS Technology Options for Commercial UAV.”

There are several flavors of GPS/GNSS technologies to choose from when designing and deploying UAVs. Is 3-meter accuracy OK? How about sub-meter or centimeter? How realistic is it to have high-precision GPS/GNSS receivers on UAVs? This presentation will discuss different GPS/GNSS technologies and methods of achieving sub-meter and centimeter accurate GPS/GNSS receivers on commercial UAVs.

Immediately following his presentation, he’ll participate in a panel discussion on “UAVs in Survey and Mapping,” in the same room, with Lewis Graham of GeoCue Group and Eric Andelin from Agerpoint.
