What’s the difference between a drone, RPA, RPAS, UAV, UAS?
These terms are often used interchangeably because they are essentially the same, however they have specific differences.
Drone is the term the general public knows and understands and is a commonly used term by the military.
RPAS, or (remotely piloted aircraft systems), is the official term for drones that has been adopted by CASA and used in Australia’s aviation legislation. RPAS includes the remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), ground control stations, data links and other support equipment.
UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) are the actual aircraft and UAS (unmanned aerial systems) includes the UAV, ground control system, camera, GPS, software and also the person on the ground controlling the flight and the system in place that connects both of them.
AtlasAero is a certified aerial imaging service provider.
We can equip our RPAS' with thermal cameras and observe thermal energy (heat) from a particular object, surface or environment. This imagery can be analysed and reveal areas requiring attention or repair before a major issue arises.
Through the process of aerial photogrammetry we combine captured aerial photography shots to create
2D and 3D models, and topographical maps.
Using Ground Control Points (GCP's) and RPA GPS/RTK systems allows us to provide you with accurate site surveys, construction progress over time, generate cut and fill maps, measure distances, grades, and heights in a fraction of the time it would take for a conventional survey.
With our range of RPAS, we provide
high resolution aerial photography and film
with still images captured up to 24MP and
4K videos recorded at up to 30fps.
Our RPAS and experienced operators can capture high resolution images of roofs, buildings and infrastructures at various heights and angles making inspections safe, efficient and cost effective for our clients.

Mission Planning
We work together with you to ensure we all have a full understanding of objectives prior to commencing. Our aim is ensure flight safety, and minimise risk and delays to your project.
Data Capture
Our RPAS's are specifically set up for your project with the appropriate imaging system payloads. We always bring secondary RPA's and payload systems for backup.
Data Processing
Captured drone data is processed in-house by our qualified technicians or by our dedicated software partner depending on data type.
Analysis & Verification
Detailed examination of the drone data for errors and consistency. We can also mark-up photographs, measure, document and classify survey data.
Delivery
We coordinate our drone service with you through the whole process to ensure a results-focused mission, and organised handover of documents and data packages.
