The Hawk-Eye Technology

 

THE HAWK-EYE REMOTE SENSING SYSTEM

                  (Patent Pending)

 

consists of best of breed work-class unmanned aerial vehicles and a telescoping mast that are configured for visual and thermal imaging, and a mobile control and data processing station for in-the-field delivery of results.  Hawk specifications

The sensor payload consists of two cameras, a panchromatic (.5-.9 micron, visual) and a thermal (8-14 micron) sensor.  On the aircraft these sensors may be oriented to nadir (looking straight down) or up at an angle from nadir at 30°, 45°, or 65° depending on the desired application.  On the mast the payload can be pointed any azimuth and/or elevation.  For some applications we operate a 10 mexapixel pancromatic camera for the mast.  There is also a meteorological sensor for flight level weather data observations for evapotranspiration modeling. 

Aerial Imaging

 

SETTING UP TO IMAGE

Our crew can set up and start a mission in less than 30 minutes after arriving at your location.

The aircraft follows a GPS enabled, pre-programmed flight profile which is typically 350 feet above ground level. 

If it is determined that imagery can more effectively and efficiently be collected from the mast mount system the mast is deployed and operated for the collection.

Our mobility while using the unmanned aerial vehicle or the mast mount allows us to drive the area of interest and image all of the subject areas and structures needed.

 

PROCESSING THE IMAGES

IN REAL TIME

The sensor payload transmits images and data to the mobile ground station as we operate. Our powerful imaging software in the ground station generates geo-rectified visual and thermal image data overlaid on standard GIS maps.

 

SAME DAY DELIVERY     

These high-resolution panchromatic and full-spectrum infrared images are available immediately for viewing on screen or can be printed or recorded on CD in the mobile ground station. 

The images and/or data can also be uploaded immediately to agrarius’ web-based portal so that you can immediately see it and use it via the Internet.
