Forensic Investigations

Aerial Evidence That Holds Up Under Cross-Examination.

From fire and arson scenes to property disputes, fatality investigations, and complex civil matters — our forensic drone work is designed for one purpose: to be admissible, defensible, and persuasive. Every flight is documented, every file is hashed, and our pilot is available as a fact witness.

Anonymized case examples

Identifying details have been removed. These examples illustrate typical scope, deliverables, and outcomes.

Case 01

Suspicious commercial structure fire

Context
SIU engaged us alongside a fire marshal investigation at a total-loss commercial property. Roof and burn-pattern documentation was needed before demolition.
Scope
Aerial burn-pattern mapping, 3D photogrammetric model of the structure, hashed originals, and pilot affidavit.
Outcome
3D model supported origin-and-cause determination. Claim resolved in carrier's favor; no civil action filed.
Case 02

Boundary and encroachment dispute, rural parcel

Context
Civil litigation between adjoining landowners over fence line and a disputed access easement. Existing survey was decades old.
Scope
Geo-referenced orthomosaic of both parcels overlaid with recorded plat, measured encroachment area, and annotated exhibit map.
Outcome
Map and measurement report used as a trial exhibit. Court entered judgment consistent with our documented boundary.
Case 03

Workplace fatality at industrial site

Context
Plaintiff firm needed defensible scene documentation before equipment was returned to service and OSHA-required preservation expired.
Scope
Multi-altitude capture, equipment positioning, sightlines, and chain-of-custody packaging including pilot deposition availability.
Outcome
Documentation supported expert reconstruction. Confidential settlement reached prior to trial.

Frequently Asked

Forensic Drone Investigations — FAQ

Is your work admissible as evidence?

+

Yes. Every flight produces hashed originals, a timestamped flight log, GPS metadata, pilot Part 107 credentials, and a signed affidavit of authenticity. Our pilot is available as a fact witness for deposition or trial.

How do you handle chain of custody?

+

Originals are SHA-256 hashed at the point of capture, transferred to write-protected storage, and never altered. You receive the unedited originals, any annotated working copies, and a complete chain-of-custody manifest.

Can you coordinate with law enforcement, fire investigators, or SIU?

+

Yes. We routinely work alongside FHP, sheriff's offices, fire marshals, ATF investigators, and SIU teams. We stage outside the active perimeter and request access through the on-scene supervisor with COI in hand.

Do you carry insurance, and can you name our firm as additional insured?

+

Yes. We carry $1M+ in commercial drone liability insurance and can issue a certificate of insurance naming your firm or client as additional insured before the flight.

Can you fly in controlled airspace or at night?

+

Yes. We hold the necessary FAA waivers for night operations and routinely coordinate LAANC approvals for airspace around Pensacola NAS, Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field, Duke Field, and the Panhandle's commercial airports.

Will the pilot testify if needed?

+

Yes. Our pilot is available for deposition and trial as a fact witness regarding the flight, equipment, capture process, and chain of custody.
