HIGH PRECISION AERIAL DATA
Revolutionizing Mining Management
Our aerial survey technology delivers a comprehensive, real-time view of your operations, with rapid data processing and high-resolution 2D & 3D models that transform how you manage and optimize mining activities. We start with a detailed site assessment to define your project’s specific requirements and establish a tailored drone infrastructure. Operated remotely by our expert team in Montréal—on a scheduled or on-demand basis—our drones ensure that every dataset meets the highest standards of accuracy and quality.
THE ODAS® ADVANTAGE
Remote Monitoring, Real Results
ODAS® keeps your mining operations continuously monitored from our Command and Control Center (CCC), giving you the insights needed to make informed decisions without being on-site. With no internal drone program required, you avoid complex management responsibilities as our certified pilots in Montréal handle both scheduled flights and on-demand missions. Your team only performs simple pre-flight checks, while we take care of the rest, ensuring a seamless and reliable solution that prioritizes ease of use and operational efficiency.

Current Services & Applications
Supported by ODAS®
*The ARA-405 has a maximum tested flight duration of 40 minutes with an ODAS® payload. However, the actual flight time of a drone can vary widely due to numerous influencing factors and should not be expected to be consistent.
**Environmental conditions and flight parameters, such as temperature, altitude above sea level and wind speed can influence drone behavior and flight duration, leading to variable outcomes.
