Aerial Intelligence. Actionable Insights.
Precision aerial systems for mapping, defense, and science.
The Future of Aerial Intelligence
At Mapware, we are redefining aerial intelligence by providing secure, innovative, and customer-driven solutions. From defense and public safety to critical infrastructure and commercial applications, we empower organizations with state-of-the-art Unmanned Aerial Solutions (UAS) and crewed aerial systems that maximize operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making.
Our Mission
Mapware’s mission is to empower organizations to capture, process, and operationalize high-fidelity aerial data through our U.S.-manufactured sensor platforms and integrated software ecosystem. We eliminate the technical barriers between flight data acquisition and actionable results, combining advanced hardware, precise location integration, and photogrammetric processing to deliver survey-grade insights at scale. Our technology transforms complex environmental and infrastructure challenges into operational clarity—enabling customers to work faster, operate smarter, and adapt to evolving modeling and mapping demands.
Our Process
We collect data using RGB, LiDAR, multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal, or streaming video sensors.
Mapware uses this data to generate highly detailed interactive 3D models, orthoimage maps, and support AI/ML-powered analytics. Our learning technologies, built on advanced computer vision models, provide deeper insights that enable government and commercial partners to make faster, more informed decisions with fewer resources.
Hardware
Our Precision Observation Devices (PODs) are the core of who we are. Engineered to transform crewed aircraft into elite mapping and surveillance platforms and capable of performing across challenging environments. Our PODs are built with professional-grade, aviation-certified hardware, these self-contained sensor systems rapidly capture and transform high-fidelity imagery into the high-precision results required for mapping, defense, and science.
Services
Our in-house expert pilots source all cameras, sensors, and create optimized flight plans to capture the best data, even in the most difficult conditions. We create tailored solutions to help you detect and compare important elements of your environment.
Software
Our POD software utilizes advanced georeferencing technology to capture centimeter-accurate metadata at the moment of exposure. This streamlined architecture removes common operational friction, rapidly transforming high-resolution aerial data into survey-grade maps and high-precision results
