+ Technical and data capability supporting commercial drone, surveying, GIS and geospatial projects. This includes drone platforms and docking systems, software applications, communications, networks, cloud services, data transfer and storage, GIS integration, spatial data collection, quality assurance and project reporting. Support can be provided across fixed, temporary and remote-site operating environments, including remotely managed, EVLOS and BVLOS operations where required.
Technical expertise supporting project delivery
Combining expertise across technology, data and infrastructure.
+ International experience in information technology, enterprise and solution architecture, data governance and systems implementation across Defence, government and private-sector environments provides a strong foundation for disciplined planning, integration, security, documentation and problem-solving across surveying, GIS and geospatial projects. This experience supports dependable, independent specialist capability alongside established project teams.
Precision equipment logistics & field support
Secure, dedicated handling of specialist field equipment
+ Supporting the collection and delivery of UAVs, total stations, GNSS equipment and other high-value precision field equipment between dealerships, service centres, project locations and customers throughout the Darling Downs. Equipment remains in direct custody from collection to delivery, reducing unnecessary handling, depot transfers and the risks associated with conventional freight networks.
