Overview

Performance Drone Systems Research Foundation (PDS) is a Colorado Non Profit, that provides an educational platform for career and skill development within remote sensing and autonomous technology.. In 2015 PDS formed, and operated throughout the US, mapping imagery, but also collecting NIR and LiDAR. In 2017, craft development became a core competency, and by 2019 the first project was deemed a success. Now, in 2022, PDS continues to engineer advanced aerial drones with superior capabilities that promote open source and customization. We hope to enter into new spaces in FY23, including terrestrial and aquatic crafts.
