Here’s a simplified example of how PrecisionHawk works:
***from today’s PrecisionHawk press release
PrecisionHawk’s client base includes Fortune 500 companies that rely on technology for resource management across industries such as agriculture, insurance and energy, among others. Doing more with less used to be a catchphrase, but now it’s a requirement. There is immense pressure placed on development, food, health and infrastructure due to climate, increasing costs and overpopulation. The product closes the gap between aerial data collected with a UAV and the intensive data/image analysis that provides actionable information to end users. This funding will allow PrecisionHawk to scale to meet a growing demand for a aerial information pipeline that goes far beyond a UAV with a camera.
Plans post-funding:
In addition to being founded in Indiana, PrecisionHawk will also be naming Indiana its “ag headquarters” as it continues to expand, because of the state’s strong leadership role in the agricultural industry and central location. A spokesperson also said PrecisionHawk is closely tied to three Indiana Universities — Indiana State University, Indiana University and Purdue University.
