05-RT2 Use of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPV) -- Zeppelins to create "as
built" plans for transportation infrastructures and roadway inventory

**Question:** Do you have more references with regards to this
solicitation

**Answer:** Yes. We have posted a Powerpoint presentation to the web
site and two brochures. In addition, see the following list of
references. Note that the purpose of the aerial data collection is to
supplement not replace the ground based data collection.
