FLY.
CAPTURE.
DELIVER.
Aerial survey and special mission aviation specialists. We provide mission-ready aircraft and expert crews — you focus on the data, we handle the skies. We fly for mapping firms. We never compete with our clients for their downstream work.
Nationwide coverage · Rapid deployment · No mission too complex

Capacity is a promise — performance is a record. Here is ours from the most recent survey season.
Thousands of Miles of Pipeline & ROW
Multiple pipeline and right-of-way programs combining corridor LiDAR with RGB imagery — thousands of linear miles acquired across program seasons, flown to spec and delivered for downstream compliance and engineering use.
Nationwide Photogrammetry Program
Sustained nationwide photogrammetry acquisition — multi-region deployments, repeatable program cadence, and on-time mobilization, cycle after cycle.
Solar Panel Inspection, Coast to Coast
Thermal infrared inspection of utility-scale solar assets with nationwide deployment — anomaly-grade thermal acquisition flown on tight irradiance windows across multiple states.
Large-City RGBN for Commercial Development
Four-band RGB+NIR survey over a major metropolitan area supporting commercial real estate development — dense urban gridwork flown to consistent radiometric and overlap spec.

Special Mission Aviation
Few aerial survey companies are equipped — or cleared — to operate in the special missions space. Talos was built by veterans who understand operational complexity, mission security, and the non-negotiable requirement for precision.
Built for Your Mission
Our aircraft and crews operate across demanding environments and industries — from pipeline corridors to post-disaster response zones.
Energy & Utilities
Pipeline inspection, powerline corridor mapping, oil & gas exploration
Infrastructure & Transportation
Road, rail, bridge, and corridor surveys for planning and design
Land Development
Pre-design surveys, topographic mapping, subdivision and site planning
Emergency Management
Disaster response, damage assessment, flood mapping, wildfire perimeters
Mining & Aggregates
Volumetric surveys, stockpile measurement, mine progression mapping
Solar Inspection
Thermal and RGB aerial inspection of solar farms and PV installations
