Underwriting and claims assessment is now able to be performed with ease, and in a fraction of the time. Our solution allows for efficient, on-demand data acquisition with quantifiable decision-making results:

• Immediate deployment
• Accurate results
• Vast area coverage

Crop damage monitoring (Overspray etc.), flood areas, construction, natural disaster losses and livestock assessment. Acquiring such data with unmatched efficiency and performance is vital to assessing losses in a wide array of insurance sectors.

With quick deployment, high on-board artificial intelligence, immediate flight data review and rapid result processing, Scout gets the information your first responders need, fast!

Where access is restricted, or the risk profile is dangerous to personnel, we can mobilise rapidly and provide detailed inspections (Structural and/or Visual) in a fraction of the time it would take by rope access workers. We can attach custom payloads (Elcometers, gas detectors, lasers etc) to suit your inspection deliverables. Call us today to learn more.

• Quick inspection of areas with restricted access
• Detailed visual and structural Inspections
• Thermal capability

Our services are designed to help mining professionals who require the highest accuracy of work, more efficiently, whilst limiting risk to personnel. Our use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) set a new standard in mapping and surveying by combining highly capable equipment with safe and cost effective methodologies that we have proven over the last five years.

We provide a timely and cost effective data collection solution to assist with planning, stock calculations, environmental compliance monitoring, quality assurance, progress reporting and much more.

Our systems can be deployed quickly and safely without disrupting operations on the ground.

• Mine monitoring and remediation
• Service mine reclamation monitoring
• Mine Drainage and water quality monitoring
• Gas emission monitoring

Rapid, accurate volumetric surveys conducted on mine and quarry stockpiles without interfereing with operations on the ground.

• Rapid deployment
• Quick Assessments
• Low impact and interference with operations
• Low risk
• Affordable

Leading the way in Precision agriculture Surveying and data analysis, we specialise in putting the power into the farmer’s hands when making critical decisions during the crop lifecycle. Our remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) are specially designed for agricultural applications. Using state of the art technology to capture images and data, we bundle this with in-field sampling (Moisture, Temperatures and EC logging) to provide the farmer with very accurate yield assessments and input vs. output costs.

We also provide assessments for areas of concern such as pests and diseases. Soil assessments, leaf diseases and numerous other problems can be detected, and accurate crop assessments can be made quickly. Catching the disease or pest early is critical to improved crop output. We also manage the data for the farmer. All imagery and yield data is uploaded to an online platform for easy access and simple analysis.

Livestock monitoring is a laborious and expensive operation, talk to us today to find out about our livestock monitoring, feedlot assessments and auto detection capabilities.

• Migration pattern monitoring
• Site assessment for conservation
• Detection of disease-ridden animals
• Animal location and identification

Scout’s RPAs are an ideal solution for remote sensing for the forestry industry. We perform plant surveys and fire detection missions for a vast forestry area where access by foot or ground vehicle is difficult or impossible.

• Forest fire mitigation and assessment
• Digital Elevation Model Generation
• Tree classification / Inventory
• Tree height monitoring
• Plant disease detection
• Assessment of tree stocking density
• Stand variability
• Tree stocking evaluation and monitoring
• Forest health and stress monitoring

Our environmental compliance assessments focus on projects across all sectors including mining and energy, government, transport, ports and marine, urban development, tourism and recreation. We specialise in helping businesses meet compliance requirements under national environmental laws. Our environmental services include:

• Flora and fauna surveys
• Ecological assessment reports
• Animal/mammal counts / tracking
• Progress reporting (Algae mats, erosion, mammal counts etc)
• Weather event damage assessments
• Identification/control of pests/ disease/ weed
• Vegetation, drainage, water level monitoring
• Vegetation health
• Research
• Control Survey prior to development
• Offset area assessments
• Vegetation Management Plans, Fauna Management Plans, Threatened Species Management Plans. Weed and Pest Management Plans,
• Bushfire hazard assessments and management plans

Construction companies are faced with a variety of issues where infrastructural improvement is concerned. In the modern fast paced and ever-changing landscape, on-demand, rapidly deployable mapping services have become an extremely valuable tool for construction partnerships when modelling and planning. Road works, bridges, ramps, canals and flooding areas can now be easily inspected with absolute safety from the air. Large overviews allow engineers to take the necessary precautions when building infrastructures. Scout Aerial Media and Surveying can replace ground surveys and provide more data at shorter intervals for a substantially lower total cost.

• Monitoring railroad systems
• Road damage assessment
• Power line and transformer monitoring
• Water supply monitoring
• Urban land use/Utility Mapping

We currently partner with a number of organizations to develop new UAV capabilities and remote sensing technologies. We are always keen to drive research and development projects, and we have a multitude of platforms to carry a range of high resolution, calibrated sensors:

• NIR
• Thermal
• Multispectral
• Hyperspectral

University and Industry research partnerships or discounts available. See some of our case studies for current R&D projects we are working on.
