Abstract
System and methods for surveying areas using a radar system and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are described herein. For example, one or more embodiments include detecting an event in the area using movement measurements from a radar system, wherein the radar system transmits electromagnetic radiation waves to capture the movement measurements in the area, and determining geographic information system (GIS) coordinates of a location of the event. Further, one or more embodiments can include navigating an UAV to the location substantially autonomously using the GIS coordinates of the location of the event and capturing a second number of images of the location using the UAV.
