NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Market News Updates News Commentary - Land surveying has traditionally been a slow, labor-intensive process. Survey crews often have to cover large areas on foot, set up equipment, take measurements and then spend hours processing the information. Drones are changing that process. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, RTK/PPK positioning and LiDAR, drones can cover large areas quickly while collecting detailed data from above. That information can be turned into accurate maps, 3D models, elevation measurements and other survey data without requiring crews to spend as much time working in difficult or potentially dangerous terrain. The opportunit

Autonomous aerial surveying is becoming an essential tool for energy companies looking to boost efficiency and lower operating costs.NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 /CNW/ -- Market News Updates News Commentary - For years, surveying an oil field or inspecting miles of pipeline meant sending large crews into the field, renting helicopters, and spending days—or even weeks—collecting data. That's changing fast. Today, drones equipped with AI, LiDAR, thermal cameras, and high-resolution imaging can do the same work in a fraction of the time while delivering far more detailed information. They're helping oil and gas companies map drilling sites, monitor pipelines, detect methane leaks, inspect refineries

Market Forecasts Show AUV Sector Growing Nearly 4x Faster Than Broader Defense Industry AverageMarket News Updates News Commentary NEW YORK, July 9, 2026 /CNW/ -- Underwater mines have always been a nasty problem. They're cheap to deploy, hard to spot, and clearing them has traditionally meant sending a diver into the water to do it by hand — which is about as risky as it sounds. That's finally changing. Autonomous underwater vehicles, AUVs for short, are taking over mine detection work for navies around the world, and the money backing that shift is starting to add up fast. The naval mine detection UUV market alone is on track to grow from $1.87 billion this year to $3.03 billion by 2030 —
