Atlas-T

Safeguard critical infrastructure and monitor sensitive locations with unparalleled precision. 
Surveillance is the close observation of a person, group of people, behaviors, activities, infrastructure, building, etc for the purpose of managing, influencing, directing or protecting. There are several different methods of surveillance namely GPS tracking, camera observation, and stake-outs. Additionally, you can use data mining, profiling, and biometric surveillance.
Nextech’s UAVs and sub-systems solve for the constraints with traditional surveillance methods which are typically limited by the stationary nature of handheld or fixed cameras and high costs involved, for example with Helicopter surveillance. 

Atlas-T provides the ideal solution to these constraints and limitations faced by other surveillance methods with easier, faster, and cost-effective methods of high-precision data collection and advanced surveillance and security missions.
Key advantages of Nextech’s UAV surveillance are the Drones’ ability to enter narrow and confined spaces, produce minimal noise, speed and endurance, long-range coverage, and are equipped with night-vision cameras and thermal sensors. For this reason, they provide imagery that the human eye is unable to detect, day and night, by rapidly covering large and difficult-to-reach areas, and ultimately reducing security staff headcount and costs.

Industries such as petrochemical, oil and gas, construction, communications, and utilities carry out regular inspections of their equipment to ensure it is in safe working order. Human inspections additionally can only go so far as people are often limited when it comes to heights or confined spaces. An increasing number of companies are beginning to use drones for inspection as they address the operational challenges faced by human inspections. 

Things such as corrosion identification, detection and analysis of hairline cracks, spillage and leak detection, dilapidation assessments, and land surveys are much more easily carried out by drones than by hand. Data is collected and sent back to a computer in real-time for assessment. Any problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently, causing minimal disruption to operations.

Using an inspection drone in place of, or in addition to, conventional methods of facility management provides an untapped potential for saving costs via activities such as automated maintenance, integrity, and surveillance workflow, and automated data gathering and analysis.Drone technology also provides predictive insights on facilities, which drives operational decisions, and leads to the improvement of business processes.

Nextech’s methane sensor detects gas of up to 100m distance and methane 100,000 in part per million meter. The sensor interfaces with UAVs GPS data and provides accurate LAT and LONG readings which can be mapped with the Google Earth app.

While drones are rapidly demonstrating its value across many industries, its application is particularly dramatic with drones in Emergency Response operations where the extra range and reach of drones make its presence felt like nowhere else. Unlike most other applications which are fairly routine and predictable, SAR operations are very unpredictable and each operation unique in its execution. There are 3 key factors that are critical in the success of an Emergency Response mission:

1. Time criticality:
   A life threatening event has happened to someone out of the blue, And speed of response is of the essence to rescue this victim
2. Commuting congestion:
   The target location where emergency relief is needed might require traversing unhelpful & congested traffic conditions
3. Terrain:
   Rescue operations are generally by definition needed in inaccessible terrains which might have caused the emergency in the first instance. Because it is difficult to navigate, ‘Eye-In-The-Sky’ Situational Awareness is essential. Search times can be significantly reduced while limiting potential risk to the party being rescued as well as rescuers.

Speed of response through rapid deployment & overcoming congested urban areas, extreme maneuverability & high endurance capability, thermal camera gimbals to detect human activity, zoom cameras with highest spec optical zoom capabilities and drop-systems that support delivery of emergency supplies in critical situations make the Atlas-T your ideal UAV for any emergency response operation.

Optimize your crop management with multispectral imaging, NDVI analysis, and precision agriculture techniques.

Managing huge farms with limited manpower requires more advanced use of technologies, including drones. One notable growing industry within the agricultural industry is the rise of cannabis farmers, globally. Many of these farmers use drone technology to bring precision agriculture to their cannabis fields for plant counting and canopy sizing. Therefore, instead of “walking the field” to estimate size, farmers are using drones (and AI) to count and size plants.

Nextech’s intelligent UAV technology generates quantitative analytics to evaluate the varieties, opportunities for surface replanting and monitors sexual maturity and harvest opportunities to prevent the loss of CBD concentration. Another major benefit of using drones in hemp and CBD farming is the ability to monitor plant health. This imagery is also ideal for capturing crops and processing vegetative indices (such as NDVI or VARI). It also allows for counting of crops and identifying water pooling.

Performing aerial photography with helicopters and planes is expensive, requires trained personnel, and cannot be undertaken at certain times due to safety regulations. A mapping UAV provides the ideal alternative; they are cheaper to operate, can be instantly deployed, and can be programmed pre-flight to follow a route via waypoint grids. In addition to this, the data is stored as a hard copy which can be easily inputted in geo-mapping software, allowing the swift implementation of the data.

Monitor wildlife, track changes in vegetation, and assess environmental conditions with ease.

Nextech’s Atlas-T drone enables all wildlife control methods by obtaining information regarding the position and condition of the game and land with high-precision data for topographical surveys, multispectral imaging, object tracking using LiDAR sensors and thermal imagers, and advanced security and surveillance of game. 

Additionally, the Atlas-T is engineered for covert operations and subtle reconnaissance. Its signature feature emphasizes low visibility and a discreet acoustic signature, making this drone perfect for anti-poaching missions, as well as animal monitoring without disrupting and alarming the animal. 

Powered by real-time data and intelligence providing live feeds and data transmission to central command centers, empowering wildlife and game reserves to make informed decisions and respond swiftly to any threatening situations. 

Nextech’s UAVs provide long-range and high endurance flight missions that solve for missions in the wildlife and game industries, namely anti-poaching operations, species identification, migration tracking, topographical mapping and surveys and habitat management. However with Nextech’s cutting edge technology enabling multiple payload integrations our UAV and UAs solutions can be tailored to your specific operation.
