Joshua Arneson
High-Precision Reality Capture Solutions
A real services company founded by Josh to bring cutting-edge reality capture and 3D mapping into heavy industry—delivering precise, data-driven solutions that transform complex environments, drive efficiency, and reduce cost.
Beginning with sUAS (small unmanned aerial systems) for mapping, remote sensing, and survey, and expanding into LiDAR and terrestrial laser scanning, Josh recognized early that the highest-value projects come from integrating multiple data sources into cohesive, intelligent solutions. That philosophy continues to define how ARNE Technology operates today.
Now ARNE Technology has helped over 100 remote pilots pass their Part 107 exam using Josh's guide and educational materials, and has continued to expand capabilities to cover ground penetrating radar (GPR), GPS/GNSS surveying, photogrammetry, GeoSLAM, and artificial intelligence technologies.
When not flying drones, processing data, or helping clients grow their technology capabilities, you'll find Josh exploring the outdoors, sailing, scaping his garden, snowboarding, skating, solving home improvement problems, or sharing insights on the latest geospatial technology trends.
