Datum Geomatics LLC is a San Antonio-headquartered aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry company founded in 2026 by Mike Mullins, PhD. Datum is dual-certified: an SBA-Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) at the federal level, and a Texas VetHUB-Certified vendor at the state level. The firm operates a Texas-region service area for commercial and state customers, and is available nationwide for federal contracts. Mike is a combat-disabled retired USAF Lt Col with 22+ years of aerospace experience and a PhD in Unmanned Systems Applications. Datum exists to deliver engineering- and decision-grade aerial data - classified point clouds, RTK/PPK survey-grade orthomosaics, and defensible analytics - to clients who need answers their engineers can sign off on.
The technical scope is deliberately narrow. Datum focuses exclusively on aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry, with a DoD Blue UAS Cleared / NDAA Section 848-compliant airframe and survey-grade discipline. The narrowness is the wedge - most regional drone operators are RGB generalists; Datum is LiDAR-native and built around recurring engagement patterns where survey-grade data is the deliverable.
