Equipment Used: Wingtra Lidar, Aeropoint targets, Spectra Precision SP80, WingtraOne Gen II, YellowScan Mapper +, Altum-PT, Skydio X10, Reconnaissance

Information to be Derived: Will be flying multiple sensors on the M600 including a LiDAR and multispectral sensor. We will also be flying a Wingta Lidar UAS. The SkyDio will be used to collect thermal and normal RGB imagery and video. GCPs will be deployed and GPS used to collect elevation check points. Vegetation data will also be collected in random quadrats (% cover, type, and height). Summer data collections will add multispectral imagery collection with our MicaSense Altum camera for vegetation analysis.
