PrecisionHawk has acquired Droners and AirVid as it seeks to make its network of commercially-licensed drone pilots the largest in the US. The company helps businesses use drones in a variety of industries by providing unmanned aerial vehicles, software and services. It has now bought Droners, which helps operators hire drone pilots specialising in aerial photography, and AirVid – a platform that allows users find pilots involved in a range of services including cinematography and mapping. “Drone technology is rapidly evolving with new applications for commercial applications, such as filming from drones, mapping or even using them for agriculture,” said David Proulx, CEO of Precision Hawk.
