Drone security & surveillance in Le Mans
Banks, depots and business zones along the Sarthe: around Le Mans, linear sites are hard to watch from a vehicle. The drone covers the full perimeter in minutes, thermal sensor included. From Cité Plantagenêt to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Le Mans and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
Le Mans airspace revolves around the Le Mans-Arnage airfield, adjoining the 24 Hours circuit south of the city: during major races (car and motorcycle 24 Hours), temporary flight restrictions are systematically published and the airspace closely watched. The rest of the year, the dense city and Plantagenet quarter call for the built-up-area scenario with Sarthe prefecture notification. Local demand blends heritage — one of Europe's best-preserved Roman walls, Saint-Julien cathedral with flying buttresses spectacular from above — the automotive and insurance industries (MMA), university and hospital construction monitoring, and of course the circuit ecosystem: testing, filming and team communications outside race periods.
