Unmanned technology today is no longer the future, but the present. Both the hardware and technical base and technologies for processing and interpreting data are developing at an accelerated pace. Now they have entered the technological processes of the exploration industry in Kazakhstan. In many conditions, the use of a UAV becomes uncontested, allowing you to perform efficient and cost-effective shooting in the shortest possible time. In 2021-22, a fairly large amount of work was completed and it became possible to evaluate the quality and cost of work compared to traditional aerial methods and ground surveys.
