Abstract: A system includes processing circuitry and a drone. The drone includes a dispenser subassembly that includes a housing comprising an aerosol dispensing system and configured to receive a syringe such that an applicator of the syringe is positioned distally from the housing; a trigger that is positioned in contact with a nozzle of the aerosol dispensing system; an actuator arm; and an actuator motor configured to move the actuator arm in a reciprocating motion. Control logic of the drone is configured to navigate, based on navigation instructions received from the processing circuitry, the drone to an area associated with an object of potential survey interest (OoPSI) such that the applicator of the syringe or the nozzle of the aerosol dispensing system is proximate to the area associated with the OoPSI.
