REFLECTING ON THE SUCCESS OF FATM1.3: A New Era in Firefighting Operations Technology
At Silvertone UAV, we're beaming with pride as we reflect on the astounding achievement of FATM1.3. This mission was an audacious endeavor embarked upon at short notice, and it has left an indelible mark on the landscape of firefighting operations.
Our Flamingos flew in concert with aerial fire-bombers and rotary manned aircraft to execute a series of exacting fire-spotting and fire-fighting missions.
Side note: while in transit at one stage, the UAV operators noticed a woman in distress in a car park and emergency crews were dispatched to deal with a medical emergency!
CL90 LiDAR Proof of Concept - Operation Case Study
BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) operate a group of mines in the Bowen Basin. These mines are surveyed by aerial means on a routine basis to capture pit progress.
Our client currently conducts survey activities for BMA and came to us with the question….”Can this survey work be conducted with a compact LiDAR fitted to an unmanned aircraft?”
Our answer: “Definitely so!”. Our results proved the point with high resolution data being produced which exceeded the customers requirements.
Large-Area Survey - Operation Case Study
Most people needing a topographical survey performed will need maybe some acres, or even a few square kilometers, of land covered.
Our client required over 250km2 of Queensland outback surveyed, and quickly, with high winds forecast in the latter days of the survey period.
