UTEC StarNet, a division of one of the branches of the Houston-based survey company UTEC, has announced a partnership with unmanned aircraft company Sky-Futures, based in the U.K., for 3-D inspection and on- and offshore asset management. 



The pairing will allow UTEC StarNet’s laser scanner capabilities with Sky-Future’s unmanned aircraft, which it uses primarily for inspection and measurement services. 



“With the experience being gained in operating with advanced unmanned aerial vehicles in the North Sea and other areas of the world, we will be in position to quickly meet our client requirements for these types of services in the Americas region once the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] and other regional aviation bodies finalize the operational parameters for commercial operations,” says UTEC Chief Development Officer Steve Rampton.
