SimActive’s Philippe Simard on Mapping with Aerial Beállítások

Canada’s SimActive is a relative newcomer to the drone industry. They aren’t new to aerial mapping, however: the company was founded in 2003 by brothers Philippe and Louis Simard to assist the Canadian army in mapping the entire country of Afghanistan to aid U.S. Troops. Their goal at the time was to make mapping from satellite data easier to use and faster, so that military personnel could get the data they needed more easily. And while the companies customer base has expanded well beyond the military to include commercial mapping firms and other major commercial customers, the goal remains the same: to make precise and accurate maps, quickly and easily.

Simard says his company has seen the hype around drones die down in the last few years- and lead to a more robust growth. “It’s growing now, and it’s cleaner business – there are fewer players but they are more real. It’s evolving into serious business and now there is a real progression in the market,” he says.
