The birds-eye view...

By providing high-resolution imaging options to our clients, we are able to bring an entirely new perspective to your events, venues, basic inspections, and more. With camera systems capable of over 30MP and focal lenses up to 150mm, the image and video resolution available from our UAV based solutions is better than ever before.

A different way of looking at things…

Featuring the latest advancements in thermal imaging technology, our selection of high-performance thermal sensors is designed to meet the needs of our clients across various industries, including inspections, search and rescue, wildlife detection, monitoring and observation, and more. Whether you are managing critical infrastructure, conducting environmental monitoring, or ensuring public safety, we offer thermal solutions that provide the precision and reliability you need to get the job done. 

Understanding more about what we see…

Light detection and ranging, or LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses a laser to measure the distance to the Earth's surface and create detailed 3D models. Aerial LiDAR technology revolutionizes the way we collect essential data for various applications such as terrain mapping, powerline maintenance, construction projects, forest management, and 3D model rendering. This versatile tool offers both cost-effectiveness and precision in generating point-cloud data. Some of these sensors come equipped with high-quality RGB cameras, allowing for the concurrent creation of ortho-mosaic maps alongside point-cloud datasets.  

When you need to see more…

Our multispectral imaging payloads work by capturing light across a broad range of spectral bands, including those normally invisible to the human eye. The wavelengths are detected by instruments within the camera systems that are sensitive to particular wavelengths. The multispectral images can then either be displayed as a monochrome image, or in combination as a color composite, to reveal details that are invisible to the human eye.

Assessing risk, without taking any…

Our advanced laser gas detection (LGD) sensors allow us to provide enhanced aerial monitoring solutions, and help ensure personnel safety across various industries and scenarios. This technology enables real-time detection of potentially hazardous gases, providing critical insights for environmental assessments, industrial inspections, and emergency response operations.

These light-weight, high-sensitivity gas detectors are based on Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), which enables rapid identification of methane from up to 100 m away, and at concentrations as low as 5ppm/m.

Detecting fugitive emissions efficiently…

Our UAV mounted Optical Gas Imaging, or OGI, cameras operate the same way as the ground-based cameras already in use across the energy sector. These camera systems provide our clients with the ability to not only detect the presence of a fugitive gas, but to determine the source of the leak with near pin-point accuracy. 

Each gas has a unique infrared signature, so OGI cameras can identify specific gases by blocking the energy from reaching the IR detector. This creates a visible "cloud" where the gas is located.

Peeling back the layers…

Ground-penetrating radar, or GPR, is a technology that uses electromagnetic (EM) waves to create an image the subsurface. GPR works by transmitting high-frequency radio waves into the ground, which bounce off objects and are detected by the receiver antenna. The time delay and strength of the reflected waves are measured to estimate the depth of the objects below the ground.

By mounting a GPR system on our UAVs, we can safely access hard-to-reach or hazardous locations, reducing the need for manual ground surveys. This integration allows for quicker data collection while minimizing long-term costs and disruptions.

A new way to do the job safely…

Built for GPS-denied, hostile environments, our confined space entry and inspection UAVs thrive in low-light, toxic atmospheres with limited oxygen, significantly reducing timelines and risk involved with preparing these spaces for personnel entering them to complete an inspection. With features like unlimited flight time and onboard 3D LiDAR mapping, these advanced UAVs ensure safe operation, stable flight, and accurate data collection in challenging conditions. Experience stress-free inspections with live full HD video streaming, location-tagged data, and seamless cloud-based management.

Below the surface…

Bathymetry is the study of the depths and topography of bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans. It's used to measure water depth in relation to sea level. Bathymetry is important for many ocean activities, including: marine infrastructure development, navigation safety, oceanographic modeling, and marine conservation.
