What it does

Airborne Survey, in brief.

Airborne Survey adds what satellites cannot resolve.

It is designed so that NUMBIRD plans the survey, sets its quality control and fuses the results — magnetometry, LiDAR, multispectral and hyperspectral imagery and flight telemetry — with the satellite, registry and ground-station layers already in the warehouse.

The flying is done by certified operators or with the customer's own fleet: automated flight with a pilot in command.

In Brazil, surveys follow the Ministry of Defence aerial-survey rules and raw survey data stays in the country.

The service is partner-delivered and in design.

What it fuses

Survey data from certified operators.

Partner-delivered survey data, planned into the same warehouse as the satellite, registry and ground-station layers. Designed as automated flight with a pilot in command, by certified operators or your own fleet; in Brazil, designed to follow the Ministry of Defence aerial-survey rules, with raw survey data kept in the country.
