A geospatial data partner — not a photography vendor.
We build the aerial inputs that engineering, construction, and infrastructure teams across the Kansas City metro use to design, document, and deliver real projects.
Precise, timely, actionable aerial data — every time.
Gearhart Aerial Solutions LLC is a Kansas City-based unmanned aircraft systems company providing engineering-grade aerial mapping and geospatial services. We combine FAA Part 107 compliant flight operations with RTK-enabled aircraft, LiDAR and photogrammetry payloads, and GIS/CAD-ready processing workflows.
We deliver orthomosaics, digital surface and terrain models, contours, stockpile volumes, inspection datasets, and 3D models — built to drop directly into Civil 3D, ArcGIS Pro, and the engineering workflows our clients already run.
Become the preferred precision aerial mapping partner for engineering, construction, and infrastructure clients in the Kansas City region.
What sets Gearhart Aerial apart.
We sit between low-cost solo drone operators and high-overhead national providers — competing on accuracy, technical deliverables, response time, and local execution.
24–48 hour turnaround
Faster mobilization and processing than large national providers. Standard scopes delivered within two business days of capture.
Engineering-grade output
RTK and LiDAR workflows with QA against project specifications. Deliverables compatible with Civil 3D, ArcGIS Pro, and your existing workflows.
Local KC presence
Lower mobilization costs and metro-area familiarity. We know the airspace, the controlled corridors, and the local construction landscape.
One vendor, full workflow
Flight operations, processing, QA/QC, and client-ready outputs handled in-house. No subcontractor handoffs to slow you down.
Flexible engagements
Project-based pricing, monthly monitoring plans, or annual retainers — structured to match your cash flow and project cadence.
Compliant & insured
Part 107 certified pilots, LAANC-capable for controlled airspace, and full hull, liability, and errors & omissions coverage.
The right tool for every site.
A professional fleet of mapping aircraft and a software stack built for engineering deliverables — not consumer drones and stock filters. NDAA-compliant platforms are available for security-sensitive, public-sector, and federally influenced scopes.
DJI Matrice 350 RTK
Primary mapping platform with RTK GNSS for survey-grade positioning across larger project sites.
DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise
Rapid-deployment platform for small-site work, inspections, and quick-turnaround captures.
Zenmuse L2 LiDAR
High-precision LiDAR payload for vegetation penetration, classified point clouds, and bare-earth terrain.
RTK GNSS Base Station
Network-corrected positioning for centimeter-level accuracy on critical engineering sites.
Pix4D, DJI Terra, DroneDeploy
Industry-standard photogrammetry and LiDAR processing pipelines with documented QA workflow.
Civil 3D & ArcGIS Pro
Final outputs prepared for direct integration into your existing CAD and GIS workflows — no reformatting required.
NDAA-Compliant Platforms
Available on request for projects with Section 848, Blue UAS, or other supply-chain and data-security requirements common to public-sector and federally influenced scopes.
