Systems and methods for using unmanned aerial vehicles

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a processor-based system with memory, notification of property damage to an insured property;
• determining a cause of the property damage;
• causing, based on the cause of the property damage, a vehicle to deploy;
• generating data associated with the insured property through utilization of penetrating radar of the vehicle;
• based on the generated data, determining integrity of a structure of the insured property;
• and
• based on the integrity of the structure and satellite imagery of the insured property, determining an amount of physical damage to the insured property.

A system directed at receiving, analyzing, and managing electronic communications related to a property insurance claim, the system comprising:

• a computational processor;
• and
• a memory comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive information describing property damage to at least one insured property;
• determine a damage estimate and cause of the property damage;
• deploy an unmanned aerial vehicle to perform insurance adjustment activities with regard to the insured property when the cause of the property damage comprises an event of a first type;
• generate data associated with the at least one insured property through utilization of penetrating radar of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
• based on the generated data, determining integrity of a structure of the insured property;
• and
• based on the integrity of the structure and satellite imagery of the insured property, determine an amount of physical damage to the structure.
