2. Law enforcement: traffic surveillance and control; aerial views of traffic accidents;
3. Marine mammal population census and migration patterns
4. Design-and-Build surveys for planning & construction of bridges & roads --- carrying those first lines across the chasm.
5. Marine biology --- spotting red tides in coastal waters; monitoring the health of coral reefs
6. Fire fighting --- first-on-scene situation assessment in high rise fires, inaccessible areas, brush and forest fires, and involving hazardous materials
7. News organizations --- parades, ceremonies, sporting events, and in situations where danger to the news crew may exist
8. Radioactive and toxic waste sites --- photography & survey without risk
9. Geology --- Oil field exploration; survey and lava sample of volcanic eruptions
10. Federal & State Forest and Wildlife Services --- tree census; lumber poaching; game and fish poaching
11. Telecommunications --- surveying & designing fiber optic cable installations
12. Meteorological observations --- measuring wind speed, air pressure, air temperature, dew point, and humidity at various altitudes above ground level
13. Raising communications antennas to effective transmission altitudes during emergency situations
14. Fishing --- spotting big game fish for sport fishing, and schools of food fish for purse seining; seining schools of small fish and invertebrates visible from the air, for sale as bait
15. Monitoring railways, pipelines, and power lines --- a constant and ever- present requirement
16. Monitoring air pollutants for air quality standards determination
17. Agriculture --- Precision agriculture techniques using remote sensing technology to monitor crop moisture content; no-harm seeding from the air, in which the soil does not get compacted by heavy tractors, and therefore remains friable as a good seed bed
18. Archaeological site mapping; correlating aerial photographs with ground level excavations and discoveries
19. Commercial aerial photography for tourist and visitors’ bureaus, yacht brokers, school programs; realtors;
20. "Green" non-disruptive exploration of ecologically sensitive biospheres, such as rain forests and forest canopies
21. Lifting transmitting equipment into the sky for maximum range.
22. Radio antennas receiving and relaying Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data from Ground Forces [military]
23. Long term recording in place by meteorological instruments --- anemometers, humidity meters, thermometers, etc.
24. Air sampling for pollutants, particulates, insects, and pollen.
25. Acoustic sensors for detection of intruders, without the interference of loud noise from helicopter rotors and internal combustion engines
26. Radio relay and jamming for counter-insurgency purposes. [military]
27. Detecting of mines & other explosive devices [military and, for civilian use, detecting unexploded abandoned mines, a major cause of injuries to children in former war zones ]
28. Thermal imaging
29. Precise aiming of conventional ballistic weapons from a safe distance by Forward Artillery Observers [military]
30. Battlefield or distant control of ground forces [military]
31. Crowd control and detection devices [law enforcement]
