While Trimble has continued to focus on its software solutions for drones, Delair has unlocked a new era of innovation with hardware products such as the Delair UX11. In 2016, Delair acquired the Gatewing division from Trimble which put Delair in the spotlight. This truly enabled authorized Trimble distributors to be a one-stop shop for their customers looking to incorporate drones into their business. This solution included the UX5 drone, the rugged Trimble Tablet as a ground control station, Aerial Imaging mission planning software, and Trimble Business Center (TBC) with its Aerial Photogrammetry Module (APM) to conduct both photogrammetry and data analysis.

During this time, Trimble not only developed remarkable hardware solutions, but the company became perhaps the only commercial mapping drone provider to offer a complete end-to-end workflow from a single source. For more than four years Trimble expanded the global presence of mapping drones and established the technology as a viable and proven tool for land survey, mining, construction, GIS, and other geospatial applications. Gatewing was an early mover in the drone space, producing the first fully commercialized, lightweight, fixed-wing unmanned aircraft system designed specifically to collect photogrammetry data for the geospatial market.

It started back in 2012 when Trimble acquired the privately-held company Gatewing based in Gent, Belgium. The commercial drone world is still young relative to the geospatial market as a whole, which makes Delair’s long history with Trimble noteworthy.
