FIREFIGHTING SUPPORT
Strengthen fireground strategy through immediate aerial size-up and thermal mapping. High-resolution RGB feeds deliver 360-degree perimeter views, identifying fire spread, structural vulnerabilities, and access challenges in seconds—enabling commanders to allocate resources effectively and forecast incident growth without exposing ground teams.
Detect residual heat signatures during overhaul to prevent rekindles and ensure crew safety. Dual-sensor thermal imaging reveals hidden embers in debris, walls, or attics, overlaying data on digital maps for targeted suppression. This data reduces overhaul times and supports post-incident analysis for improved tactical training.
SEARCH & RESCUE
Optimize search operations with terrain assessment and real-time thermal scanning. Pre-mission RGB orthomosaics map elevation changes, vegetation density, and entry points, informing grid-based strategies that minimize searcher fatigue in rugged landscapes like those in Mason and Lewis counties.
Execute thermal and visual searches to locate subjects efficiently under cover of darkness or foliage. Infrared sensors differentiate human heat from environmental noise, while live RGB streams guide ground teams to precise coordinates—accelerating recovery times and enhancing outcomes in multi-agency responses across diverse county terrains.
FLOOD & DISASTER EVALUATION
Conduct after-flood damage assessments with elevated RGB surveys that catalog structural impacts and debris fields. Wide-area imaging identifies compromised foundations, eroded access roads, and contamination zones, generating georeferenced reports for rapid recovery planning in flood-prone Grays Harbor regions.
Monitor mass casualty incidents and remote building inspections via thermal anomaly detection. Drones pinpoint trapped individuals through heat differentials in rubble or water, while visual feeds evaluate uninhabitable structures—facilitating prioritized evacuations and resource staging under Pierce County's variable disaster scenarios.
THERMAL & VISUAL INSPECTION
Harness thermal and RGB drone capabilities for non-invasive diagnostics that uncover hidden defects and streamline maintenance. These inspections deliver high-fidelity data overlays, reducing downtime and compliance risks for infrastructure across Western Washington's industrial and residential sectors.
ROOF INSPECTION
Identify moisture intrusion and structural weaknesses with thermal imaging that highlights temperature variances indicative of leaks or insulation failures. RGB companions provide contextual visuals of surface damage, enabling inspectors, roofing contractors, and insurance agencies to prioritize repairs and validate claims without scaffolding or ladder risks.
Support comprehensive roof evaluations by generating annotated 3D models from stitched aerial captures. This integration flags hail impacts, ponding areas, and membrane degradation in Thurston County's aging building stock—accelerating quoting processes and ensuring adherence to building code standards through detailed, exportable reports.
SOLAR ARRAY
Pinpoint hotspots and thermal anomalies in solar arrays using infrared scans that reveal electrical faults or shading inefficiencies. Real-time data identifies underperforming modules amid vast installations, allowing technicians to isolate issues and prevent cascading failures in Lewis County's expanding renewable energy fields.
Enhance array performance monitoring with RGB time-lapse sequences tracking dust accumulation and vegetation overgrowth. Combined analytics quantify energy yield losses, support predictive maintenance schedules, and comply with utility reporting requirements—optimizing ROI for solar operators in sun-varied Pierce County climates.
WATER TOWERS & GRAIN SILOS
Source leaks and deteriorating tank walls through visual RGB inspections that capture surface cracks, corrosion, and sealant failures at heights inaccessible to ground crews. High-resolution imagery documents progression over time, informing repair timelines and preventing structural compromises in rural Mason County facilities.
Examine tank build-up, temperature variations, and fill levels with thermal assessments that detect sediment layering, insulation gaps, and uneven heating. These scans reveal operational inefficiencies like vapor locks or overfill risks, enabling proactive adjustments that extend asset life and ensure safety compliance in Grays Harbor's agricultural infrastructure.
CONSTRUCTION
Streamline construction workflows with aerial assessments that deliver preliminary terrain analysis, continuous site monitoring, and progress documentation. Thermal and RGB imaging integrates into project management to identify risks early, ensure regulatory compliance, and track milestones—optimizing timelines and budgets for developments in Thurston, Pierce, Mason, Lewis, and Grays Harbor counties.
SITE EVALUATION
Assess terrain suitability for construction through high-resolution RGB orthomosaics that reveal elevation gradients, soil stability, and natural obstacles. Pre-build surveys generate volumetric data and 3D models, enabling engineers to evaluate drainage patterns and foundation feasibility without extensive ground surveys—reducing preliminary costs by up to 30% in variable landscapes like Lewis County's forested sites.
Incorporate thermal scans to detect subsurface anomalies such as unstable bedrock or water seepage that could compromise builds. Combined datasets highlight flood-prone zones or geothermal variances, supporting geotechnical reports and permitting processes while aligning with local zoning in Pierce County's expanding urban fringes.
REMOTE OVERSIGHT
Monitor crew operations and safety hazards in real time via live RGB streams that track worker positioning, equipment utilization, and compliance with protocols. Elevated views flag proximity risks, such as overhead power lines or unstable scaffolding, allowing site managers to intervene swiftly and maintain OSHA standards across multi-acre projects in Mason County's remote builds.
Enhance critical task oversight with thermal imaging to identify overheating machinery or heat stress indicators among teams during peak summer operations in Grays Harbor. Integrated analytics generate daily logs of activity zones, bolstering incident reporting and insurance audits while minimizing downtime from unforeseen safety lapses.
DEVELOPMENT MILESTONES
Capture weekly or monthly progress through automated orthomosaic flights that produce georeferenced imagery highlighting grading, framing, and finishing stages. RGB composites quantify earthwork volumes and material placement, providing stakeholders with visual benchmarks that streamline change order approvals and investor updates in Thurston's high-growth subdivisions.
Supplement with thermal overlays to verify insulation integrity and detect early moisture issues in newly erected structures. These milestone reports facilitate as-built documentation and quality assurance, ensuring projects meet timelines and specifications while supporting grant applications for sustainable builds in rural Lewis County initiatives.
LIVESTOCK AND PET SEARCH & RECOVERY
In the vast farmlands and wooded expanses of Western Washington, locating missing livestock or pets demands swift, wide-area coverage that traditional methods often can't provide. Thermal drone technology cuts through darkness, fog, and dense cover, detecting heat signatures down to individual animals amid herds or wilderness—transforming exhaustive ground searches into targeted recoveries that save time, reduce stress on responders, and boost success rates.
Visual RGB integration complements thermal data by confirming identities and assessing conditions from afar, whether it's a stranded calf in Lewis County's rolling hills or a wandering dog in Thurston's suburban fringes. Live-streamed feeds allow handlers to direct efforts in real time, minimizing false positives and integrating seamlessly with local sheriff or veterinary response teams for coordinated operations.
This specialized search capability not only accelerates reunions but also mitigates broader risks, such as escaped livestock causing traffic hazards on Pierce County's rural roads. By delivering geolocated evidence for insurance or legal documentation, these missions uphold accountability while fostering community trust in efficient, humane animal welfare practices.
