Description
Aerial Applications will partner with JBSA Camp Bullis to create a FedRAMP compliant enhanced drone mapping system, applying it towards habitat mapping for the endangered Golden Cheeked Warbler's nesting grounds. This system will use drone-mounted multi-sensors (visual, LIDAR, multispectral) to rapidly map Camp Bullis grounds and use customize ML image analysis to identify several classifiers (J-1 through J-4) of Juniper tree as well as to predict the likelihood of pine beetle infestation within those trees. These maps will help Camp Bullis meet its obligations in compliance with the Habitat Mitigation Process for Camp Bullis Training Site, Texas, while reducing the cost, time, and man-hours required. The resulting Enhanced Drone Mapping System will be FedRAMP compliant and scalable for Air Force and commercial application by the end of Phase II. Using resulting integrated ML training interface, other bases and commercial clients will be able to train custom classifiers on the system for other applications.
