VTOL UAV's Can Provide A More Accurate Picture Of What Is
Underground
UAV producer AirStar is in communication with Altitude Inc. of
Vancouver, Canada to supply UAVs and services for the mining
industry. Altitude says it has developed a 3D analysis software for
geological surveys that has been written for Vertical Take Off and
Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) which provides an
enhanced detail of stratification, faults and rock formations that
are unattainable with fixed wing seismic surveys.
A challenge for environmental engineers has been the need for
greater predictability regarding sensitive ground waters, faults
and construction of roads, bridges and mining interests. Because
wing surveys are flown at much higher altitudes and at higher
speeds, AirStar says they are much less accurate than surveys
conducted with VTOL UAV new technology.
"The current seismic imaging used by geologists and engineers in
search of natural resources including oil and natural gas as well
as mining have proven to be most predictable on flat ground surface
geography," said Mundus Chairman Keith Michael Field. AirStar is a
subsidiary of the Mundus Group.
"The AirStar UAV is able to slowly hover over a rugged terrain,
which allows for a GPS satellite coordinate to lock onto a
precision controlled flight path. While hovering and flying with
closer proximity to the ground, the UAV can gradually descend into
the ravines and steep cliffs, which when combined with Altitude's
proprietary 3D analysis software, provide a dramatically enhanced
image of what is beneath the cliffs and ravines," Fields
continued.
AirStar and Altitude have agreed on their strategic common goals
to provide Aerial Imagery & Data collection technologies to
geological survey companies in search of natural resources in the
Mining of minerals, gemstones, precious metals and natural gas
& oil industries.
AirStar and Mundus previously formed Geo Logic as an Aerial
delivery system and Green Technology provider with "Small
footprint" aerial non-disruptive technologies, to the mining,
natural gas and oil industries. Additional benefits that we provide
are increased accuracy in the assessment and analysis of resources
that safeguard against wasteful miscalculations and environmental
destruction.
Critical analysis cannot be made in difficult to reach areas
without aerial topography and seismic imagery data from a VTOL
vertical takeoff and landing UAV unmanned air vehicle that can
hover in one place with the ability to identify precise 3D details
with GPS pin point accuracy of location and depth in a stratified
cliffs and valleys that cannot be rendered from a moving fixed wing
geological pass.
