Dragonfly

Integrating technology for advanced remote survey

We are excited to….


Introduce our newly developed Dragonfly (remotely piloted aircraft system) heavy lift hexacopter built with a base payload of multiple leading-edge sensor technologies (hi-res imaging, LiDAR, multispectral and thermal). The Dragonfly has been developed to support a fully integrated, higher quality and more intelligent environmental survey while still having sufficient payload capacity to allow a range of options (Hyperspectral, GPR, Sonar, Magnetics, air/water sampling). The Dragonfly has flexibility built in, with capability of landing in water and working in a range of harsher environments.


We have developed this platform to respond to the multiple and evolving needs/challenges of our clients in undertaking cost effective, very high quality, environmental surveys in support of baseline land condition, peatland condition, habitat survey, catchment modelling, flood risk and biomass assessment etc. We can provide the outcome data raw, processed using modelling packages or use gaming tech, digital twins or GIS.


Surveyar Ltd are pushing the boundaries for how RPAS can be applied effectively in remote environmental survey. We can work with you as surveyors, supply systems/build capacity or work as supporting contractors.

Quantifying methane emissions using measurements is a pressing issue. In a recent commentary for the Nature journal ( https://rdcu.be/daGyw ), our partner, Prof Grant Allen, describes how aerial surveys, including aircraft and UAVs, can be used to quantify emissions for comparison with official inventories. Surveyar Ltd is proud to offer a solution to UAV-based greenhouse gas emissions surveys – see Gas Measurement (surveyar.co.uk) for further details and contact us if interested.
