Wildlife Locating and Observation

---

Wildlife can be extremely difficult to detect, locate, or otherwise monitor without alerting them, unduly stressing them, or potentially disturbing them and disrupting their regular patterns. The ability of the world's wildlife to detect and avoid new and potentially threatening activity in or near their natural habitat has been refined over a millennia of evolution driven by the need for survival.

From wild boar and white-tailed deer, to rocky mountain bighorn sheep and grizzly bear, their ability to see, hear, and smell potential threats means that human activity in their habitat invariably leads to the disruption of their natural patterns as a result of prolonged or repetitive contact with us, making conservation and/or control efforts that much more challenging to implement.

Through the use of our powerful thermal and photographic/video payloads, Chimera operators are able to quickly detect wildlife that would normally be difficult or impossible to spot with the unassisted eye or potentially disruptive entry into the animals' habitat. Extended or even continuous monitoring can also be conducted without unduly stressing or disturbing the animal in question, this is due to the ability of the UAV operator to conduct these monitoring activities from a position and distance that does not alert or disturb the wildlife being observed. When combined with the UAV's total lack of residual spoor, this method of detection and monitoring allows for wildlife to be continually monitored for multiple days or weeks with no to minimal impact on their natural activities and behaviors.
