Problem
Collecting high‑resolution geospatial data over large or hard‑to‑access areas requires costly, time‑consuming ground surveys or manned aircraft, limiting the speed and precision of decision‑making in agriculture, civil protection, mining, infrastructure and other sectors.
Solution
Culver Aerospace offers a suite of unmanned aircraft systems that autonomously capture detailed aerial imagery and sensor data. Its proprietary “Skif” flying‑wing drone, equipped with a 61 MP camera, can survey up to 1,500 ha in a single flight, producing raw data that GIS specialists convert into orthophoto maps and digital terrain models. For continuous monitoring, the company provides the Menatir automated network—containerized stations housing drones that perform scheduled, autonomous flights over designated assets. Integrated flight‑control software with AI‑assisted planning enables remote, one‑click mission execution and real‑time data transmission to cloud‑based processing pipelines. Clients receive end‑to‑end service from data acquisition through to analysis, delivering precise, up‑to‑date geospatial intelligence for operational planning.
Target Audience
Primary customers are agricultural enterprises, civil‑protection agencies, mining and construction firms, as well as infrastructure operators that require rapid, high‑precision aerial surveying and ongoing surface monitoring.
