"UAS based surveying and mapping offers high-growth opportunities. From a system sales perspective it may well grow to a market that has the same order of magnitude as the current market of high-end GNSS stations. Gatewing will serve the surveying market better by improving our product offering, mainly focusing on greater flexibility, quality and ease of use" - Fries Porteman, Gatewing
