Platform
Platform design and operation
The platform is designed to fly survey lines at a set height. The detachable frame allows individual parts to be replaced.
Thrust and payload marginFour large-diameter rotors provide the thrust to fly with a payload and hold height over rugged terrain.
MaintainabilityThe frame is built from carbon-fibre tubes on detachable clamps: a damaged arm or landing leg is replaced on its own, without dismantling the structure.
Shift operationSurveys run as series of lines. The platform is designed for a repeated take-off — line — landing — battery change cycle throughout a working shift.
Obstacle avoidanceObstacle avoidance is a standard platform function: the aircraft holds its height above the terrain and avoids local obstacles on the flight line.
Compatibility
Compatible equipment: six types
The single AGF-1400 mount takes interchangeable equipment. The equipment set is determined by the survey task.
MagnetometerAirborne magnetic survey: measurement of the total magnetic field intensity along survey lines.
Gamma-ray spectrometerGamma-ray spectrometric survey: potassium, uranium and thorium content from the natural radiation spectrum.
ElectromagneticsElectromagnetic module for estimating the electrical resistivity of the section.
Thermal cameraThermal survey: surface temperature distribution along the flight line.
LidarLaser scanning: a dense point cloud of terrain and vegetation.
Photo and video cameraOptical survey: orthophoto map and video record of the site.
