Origin and Mission of RRAD Geospatial Group

RRAD Geospatial Group was founded in Huntsville, Alabama, by three industry veterans with a shared vision to revolutionize how organizations manage and interact with geospatial data. Our roots run deep in GIS architecture, photogrammetry, fiber network design, and utility field operations. Together, we possess over 70 years of combined expertise, uniquely positioning us to deliver innovative, scalable, and affordable geospatial solutions.

​

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower clients through personalized service and cutting-edge technology, providing integrated geospatial solutions that are both efficient and effective. At RRAD, we strive to be the Southeast's premier one-stop-shop for comprehensive geospatial services, enabling smarter decision-making and transformative outcomes across utilities, government, defense, agriculture, transportation, and environmental sectors.

​

All work is performed locally by experienced professionals, analysts, and technicians based right here in the Huntsville metro area/North Alabama region. The RRAD partners have committed to remaining locally owned and operated, ensuring that every project is executed with a deep understanding of our regional context and community values.

​

RRAD Geospatial Group operates under a lean startup model, emphasizing responsiveness and agility. We offer tailored solutions through traditional project-based engagements as well as subscription-based hosted GIS platforms, accommodating organizations of all sizes and technical capabilities.

​

Committed to openness and innovation, RRAD leverages advanced open-source geospatial technology, ensuring our solutions remain flexible, cost-effective, and vendor-neutral. Additionally, our team is highly experienced with ESRI products and ArcGIS Enterprise deployments, providing clients with robust solutions that match their preferred technological direction.

Whether through custom GIS platform development, drone-based mapping, utility field inspections, or network design, our approach is client-focused, partner-led, and results-driven.

At RRAD, we don't just connect dots on a map — we connect data, design, and decisions.
