As the sun rises over the Amphitheatre, a team of geospatial professionals and firefighters are already at work. They’re not here for a fire or a rescue mission but for a groundbreaking task: capturing the amphitheater in unprecedented detail using advanced drone technology by ArcGIS, aimed at enhancing public safety at Red Rocks and other Denver venues – now and in the future.

A Flight Towards Situational Awareness<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 3D ampitheatre mapping project<\/a> began with meticulous planning and the deployment of a Freefly Astro mapping drone, operated using the ArcGIS Flight\u00a0app. The vastness of Red Rocks, covering over 700 acres, posed a unique challenge. To manage this, the team divided the area into five overlapping flight polygons, ensuring comprehensive coverage without sacrificing detail.
