Three sensors. One survey. One aircraft.
Most operators fly one payload at a time. On a mineral-exploration survey we combine LiDAR, radiometric thermal and multispectral in a single mobilisation — building a layered picture of the ground that pairs equipment few in the region carry with a pilot who's logged the hours to fly it. This is what CCADS was built to do.
Each sensor answers a different question about the ground.
Bare-earth terrain under vegetation — ridges, structures, drainage and access. The base layer everything else is draped over.
LiDAR detail →Calibrated surface temperature reveals moisture patterns and thermal anomalies that can flag where the ground behaves differently.
Thermal detail →Multiband reflectance highlights differences in surface material and vegetation stress that map to what lies beneath.
Multispectral detail →Coordinated layers beat three separate flights.
Because the layers share one flight and one coordinate frame, they line up perfectly — you're comparing the same square metre across terrain, temperature and surface signature, not stitching mismatched datasets together afterwards. That's the difference between three deliverables and one decision-grade picture.
Few operators even offer the full stack, and fewer still can hand-fly it over difficult exploration terrain. Do we have your attention? Serious enquiries welcome.
