With the capability of multi-day missions and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operation, the SW-117 RPAS is well suited for pre-planned long-duration aerial imaging or sensing missions over vast areas of land or ocean. Contact us to find out if the SW-117 RPAS is suited for your application.

Wildfire Detection & MonitoringUsing infrared imaging, detect and monitor wildfires over large, remote regions in real-time.

Wildlife ConservationUse aerial imaging and machine learning to identify and count wildlife populations semi- or fully- autonomously.

Forest Resource InventoryUse aerial photogrammetry and RTK GPS to conduct FRI operations autonomously.

Long-Term SurveillanceMonitor remote areas of land and sea autonomously using aerial imaging with object-detection and tracking algorithms.
