Tell us the mission.
We’ll build the path forward.
Start with the property, objective, approximate acreage or work area, and your desired timeline. Shadow Vet Drone Ops will review the request, determine what information is still needed, and identify whether the project can move directly toward a scope and estimate or requires an on-site assessment first.
Four things are enough to get the conversation started.
You do not need to know the technical details of the flight. Give us the basic mission information and we will identify what else is needed. Photos, maps and property pins can also be sent by text when useful.
Property Location
Send the complete address, parcel location, GPS pin or nearest recognized landmark so we can identify the proposed operating area.
What You Need Done
Describe the objective: spraying, spreading, seeding, mapping, imaging, inspection, thermal support, recovery or another drone mission.
Approximate Scope
Include known acreage, structure size, corridor length, treatment area, search area or any other useful measurement.
Desired Timeline
Let us know whether the mission is planned, seasonal, time-sensitive, weather-dependent or expected to recur.
Not every project needs the same intake process.
Some missions can be scoped from the information you provide. Others require us to see the property before final pricing or deployment planning. We use the mission requirements—not a generic appointment process—to determine the next step.
Need us to see the property in person?
Use the Shadow Vet scheduling calendar when an on-site review is the best next step. The visit allows us to evaluate access, obstacles, terrain, treatment or inspection areas, staging needs and other conditions that may affect the mission.
Schedule a Site Assessment
Choose an available date and time and include the complete property address plus a brief description of the requested work.
Open Assessment CalendarScheduling an assessment does not automatically establish a flight, treatment, inspection or deployment date.
From first contact to field deployment.
We keep the intake simple, then add detail only where the mission requires it.
Send the Mission
Call, text or schedule an assessment and provide the property, objective, approximate scope and desired timeline.
We Evaluate the Request
We review the site, airspace, access, aircraft requirements, operating conditions and any missing information.
We Define the Work
When the mission is feasible, we establish the service scope, responsibilities, pricing, deliverables and scheduling needs.
We Schedule Operations
Approved work is scheduled around weather, airspace, site readiness, equipment availability and safe operating conditions.
The mission has to be safe, lawful and appropriate for the site.
Scheduling is always subject to the conditions and requirements that apply to the specific operation.
Weather & Site
Wind, rain, visibility, temperature, terrain, people, animals, obstacles and other hazards can affect whether operations proceed.
FAA & Airspace
Flights remain subject to applicable FAA operating rules, airspace, temporary restrictions, authorizations and aircraft limitations.
Application Missions
Spray or spreading work is reviewed for the proposed site, product or material, application method, operating conditions and all applicable authorizations and requirements before deployment.
Wildlife Missions
Wildlife-related requests are reviewed for the species, location, season, land type and applicable state and federal requirements before acceptance.
What to know before sending a mission.
Do I have to schedule an on-site assessment first?
Not necessarily. Some projects can be reviewed and scoped from the location, maps, photos and mission details you provide. Shadow Vet will request an on-site assessment when seeing the property is necessary for accurate planning, pricing or safety.
Can I text photos, maps or a property pin?
Yes. The public Shadow Vet number accepts SMS. Photos, location information and other basic mission details can be sent to 888-509-SVDO (7836) when they help explain the proposed work.
Do you offer one-time and recurring services?
Yes. Mission scope may be structured as a one-time service or as recurring work when the property, objective and operating requirements support it.
How far in advance should I contact you?
Advance notice is preferred. Availability depends on travel, current workload, weather, airspace, equipment requirements and the complexity of the requested mission.
Can you work around buildings or difficult terrain?
In many cases, yes. The site still has to be reviewed for obstacles, people, structures, property boundaries, airspace, aircraft limitations and other operating considerations.
Is a mission confirmed when I call, text or book an assessment?
No. Initial contact or an assessment reservation begins the review process. A flight, treatment, inspection or deployment is confirmed only after the proposed operation has been reviewed and accepted.
Can weather or airspace change the scheduled date?
Yes. Weather, airspace restrictions, emergency activity, authorization requirements, site conditions or other operational factors may require a mission to be delayed or rescheduled.
Are wildlife-related requests automatically accepted?
No. Wildlife-related requests are reviewed for the species, location, season, land type, requested activity and applicable requirements. Shadow Vet will decline a request that cannot be conducted safely and lawfully.
Start with the problem you need solved.
Call or text Shadow Vet with the property location, approximate scope and mission objective. If an on-site assessment is the best next step, you can schedule it directly from this page.
