We appreciate everyone tagging and sending in Bandit’s sightings to our inboxes.

Right now, an organization is already monitoring and deploying resources to secure Bandit. Bandit also happens to be inside an airspace with a Department of Defense National Security UAS Flight Restriction in place. We hold many authorizations for complex airspace but that one takes weeks to get.

We encourage all people who see Bandit to remember the three steps.

1. Observe. Don’t pursue or call.
2. Document. Photo/Video.Time, location, direction of travel.
3. Report to responsible organization.

Please send all sighting reports to Lone Star Ditch Dog Rescue so they can accomplish their trapping operation.

🚁 Drone Fact of the Day

A professional mapping mission may collect hundreds of photographs without the pilot manually taking a single one.

The drone follows a programmed flight grid and automatically captures overlapping images at specific intervals.

Those images are later processed into maps and 3D models.

🎯 Tech Tuesday: RTK

Some mapping drones use RTK—Real-Time Kinematic positioning—to dramatically improve location accuracy during data collection.

Instead of simply knowing where the drone is, RTK helps precisely determine where each image was captured.

For mapping, precision matters.

📡 Lost Dog Prevention Starts Before the Dog Is Lost

A microchip can help identify your dog after someone finds it.

A GPS collar, like the .tracking collars, can help you start looking immediately.

Technology cannot prevent every escape, but knowing where your dog went can turn a major search into a much faster recovery.

The Difference Between a Good Sighting and a Great Sighting

Good: “I saw the missing dog by the highway.”

Great: “I saw the dog at 8:15 PM near the north entrance, moving east along the fence.”

Time. Location. Direction.

Those three details can dramatically improve the value of a sighting.

🦌 Wildlife Surveys From the Air

How many animals are actually using your property?

Thermal drone surveys can help landowners observe wildlife across large areas much faster than traditional ground observation alone.

The goal is not simply counting animals—it is collecting information that can support better management decisions.

That time of year again!

🏗️ Why Construction Companies Use Repeat Drone Flights

A single aerial photo shows what a project looks like today.

Repeat flights show how the project changed over time.

Using consistent flight paths allows teams to visually compare progress, document site conditions, communicate with stakeholders, and maintain a record throughout construction.
