Paragon Aerial Solutions drone fleet and field gear

Gear & Trailer

A 24-foot mobile command center that pulls onto your property.

This is the part nobody else brings. Every controller wired to a 50-inch monitor on the side of the trailer, so everyone watches the survey happen in real time.

24 ft
Enclosed trailer
Rolls onto the property with everything the job needs already loaded.
50"
Exterior monitors
Multiple screens mounted down the side, wired straight to the drone controllers.
Live
Real-time viewing
Your crew watches the thermal feeds as the deer are found and pinned, or the LiDAR mission is flown.
4x4
Can-Am Defender
Rides inside. Gets us and the gear anywhere on the property the truck cannot go.

The Fleet

We are not hobbyists.

This gear is expensive because it is the best available, and we replace it the moment something better ships. No job is too big, too small, or too complicated.

Survey drone from the Paragon fleet of 25-plus aircraft
Ultimate precision and endurance
DJI M400
Our flagship, carrying the P1 mapping camera, L3 LiDAR and the H30T thermal payload.
Thermal survey drone used for deer counts
High-accuracy mapping
DJI M3E and M4E
Fast, accurate photogrammetry for sites that do not need the big airframe.
LiDAR mapping drone from the Paragon fleet
Thermal and wildlife
DJI M30T-M4T-M4TD
The thermal workhorses. These are what put up to 8 aircraft over a deer survey at once.
Multi-rotor drone used for aerial data collection
Centimeter-level positioning
Emlid
On site for every mapping mission, including where there is no cell service to correct from.
Survey drone with RTK positioning for mapping accuracy
3D Gaussian splatting
Lixel K1
Photographic 3D capture of interiors and exteriors — walkthroughs that hold up on a big screen.

Sensors
H30T
Thermal, LiDAR and 45MP full-frame mapping — swapped to match the job, not the other way round.

Software and processing

Photogrammetry, LiDAR processing, point-cloud classification and the flood-modeling tool we wrote ourselves — all of it runs on our machines, in our shop. Your data never leaves our hands, and when a job needs something the off-the-shelf software will not do, we build it.
