Dave Scott
Managing Director and Head of operations
Dave Scott (BSc, BScH, MSc) first engaged with unmanned aerial systems during his MSc research in geomorphology, documented in the dissertation On Active Layer Processes and Landforms in Western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Confronted with the difficulty of collecting aerial data in that remote, extreme environment, he partnered with an RPA specialist to design and build an autonomous drone capable of reliable Antarctic operation. The platform captured high‑quality imagery and sensor data for three‑dimensional reconstruction of study sites, enabling detailed desktop analysis post‑fieldwork and proving instrumental to the research.
After completing his master’s, Dave dedicated himself to designing, building, and operating UAVs and helped develop Caelum Technologies into one of the few companies offering high‑precision aerial LiDAR scanning with true ground‑extraction capability.
