About OI

Overhead Intelligence designs, builds, and operates fixed-wing VTOL survey drones for geophysical (magnetometry), photogrammetry, and LiDAR data collection. Our fleet runs on MakeFlyEasy Fighter VTOL airframes powered by ArduPilot, with Raspberry Pi companion computers (CM4, CM5, Pi 5) handling telemetry routing, sensor acquisition, video streaming, and ROS 2-based autonomy. We fly for clients in mining, defense, environmental, and infrastructure sectors across North America.
