- •Planning: Land use planning, cadastre, and digitization of urban and rural spaces.
- •Prevention and contingencies: Risk management and strategic support in post-emergency scenarios.
- •Evaluation: Analysis of territorial and environmental impacts with high precision.
Environmental Monitoring
We implement the use of RPA equipped with specialized sensors for proactive monitoring, risk mitigation, and comprehensive control of the quality of our ecosystems.
- •Ecological surveillance: Early detection of clearing, forest fires, and erosive processes.
- •Resource control: Comprehensive analysis of air, water, and soil quality.
- •Preventive systems: Development of early warning networks and pollution monitoring.
Natural Resources and Geospatial Information
We promote the systematic monitoring of natural resources by generating high-resolution geospatial information, strengthening public policies aimed at conservation.
- •Conservation: Mapping and constant monitoring of forests and biodiversity.
- •Water Resources: Management, evaluation, and control of hydrographic basins.
- •Geoscientific Studies: Aerial applications in geology, mining, hydrocarbons, and geomorphology.
Society and Public Policies Axis
Integration of drones in urban life, public services, and new forms of logistics.
Smart Cities and Architecture
We unify the views of urbanism, architecture, and engineering, analyzing how drones become essential tools to understand, design, and manage inhabited spaces.
- •Urban management: Expansion, densification, and planning of Smart Cities.
- •Infrastructure: 3D photogrammetry, inspection of constructions and industries, certifications, and preventive maintenance.
- •Regulatory framework: Legislation, flight regulations, civil security, and the right to privacy.
Archaeology and Cultural Heritage
We use drones and advanced geotechnologies (photogrammetry, LiDAR, and thermal sensors) for the detection, documentation, recording, and monitoring of archaeological and heritage sites.
- •Documentation and recording: High-resolution cartographies and 3D models of monuments and landscapes.
- •Preservation: Monitoring and conservation of archaeological sites and protected areas.
- •Data management: Heritage Big Data management and direct link between science and society.
Security and Emergencies
We address the operational use of drones in critical situations, integrating cutting-edge technologies with organizational methodologies for rescue and disaster control.
- •Field operations: Aerial surveillance, search, rescue, and logistical support in climatic or urban emergencies.
- •Applied technology: Flight autonomy, real-time data transmission, computer vision, and AI to identify damage.
- •Risk management: Interoperability protocols, public safety, and training of first response teams.
Culture and Recreation Axis
Drones as creative tools for cinema, events, and new visual experiences.
Audiovisual and Film Production
We enhance the synergy between audiovisual communication and RPA technology, exploring the narrative, technical, and regulatory processes of immersive image capture from the air.
