UAV Services
1
High-Precision Surveying & Mapping (Photogrammetry & Lidar)
This service utilizes UAVs equipped with advanced cameras and/or LiDAR sensors to capture detailed aerial imagery and geospatial data. This data is then processed to create highly accurate 2D orthomosaics (georeferenced maps), 3D models (e.g., digital surface models, digital terrain models), and point clouds. It significantly reduces the time and cost associated with traditional surveying methods, providing precise measurements, volumetric calculations, and up-to-date site conditions for construction, urban planning, land management, and environmental monitoring.

Infrastructure & Asset Inspections (Visual & Thermal)
UAVs provide a safe, efficient, and cost-effective method for inspecting critical infrastructure and remote assets. Equipped with high-resolution visual cameras and/or thermal imaging sensors, drones can safely access difficult-to-reach areas like tall structures (towers, bridges), power lines, solar farms, pipelines, and roofs. This service allows for early detection of defects, corrosion, heat loss, or structural damage, minimizing risks to human personnel, reducing downtime, and enabling proactive maintenance planning for various industries, including energy, telecommunications, and utilities.

Precision Agriculture & Crop Health Monitoring
UAVs are transforming agricultural practices by providing growers with actionable insights into their crops and fields. Drones fitted with multispectral or hyperspectral cameras capture data that reveals plant health, growth rates, pest infestations, disease outbreaks, and nutrient deficiencies long before they are visible to the human eye. This information enables targeted application of water, fertilizers, and pesticides, optimizing resource use, increasing yields, and minimizing environmental impact. Services include crop scouting, plant counting, yield prediction, irrigation management, and variable rate application mapping.

Unlocking the Power of Emesent Hovermap ST-X LiDAR for a Brighter Future in Papua New Guinea
Connected PNG is proud to bring the cutting-edge capabilities of the Emesent Hovermap ST-X LiDAR system to Papua New Guinea. This advanced mobile mapping and autonomy solution is a game-changer, designed to capture highly accurate 3D data in even the most challenging and inaccessible environments.
​
The Hovermap ST-X excels with its impressive 300-meter LiDAR sensing range and ability to capture over a million points per second, generating incredibly dense and precise point clouds.
​
Its SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology allows for robust mapping even in GPS-denied areas, and its unique versatility means it can be deployed on drones, as a handheld device, on backpacks, vehicles, or even robots.
This flexibility, combined with its rugged, IP65 weather-sealed design, makes it perfectly suited for PNG's diverse and often demanding terrain.
What does this mean for Papua New Guinea?
​
The benefits of the Emesent Hovermap ST-X for PNG are transformative, addressing key developmental and operational challenges:
Revolutionizing Infrastructure Development
PNG's challenging terrain and often remote areas make traditional surveying difficult and costly. The Hovermap ST-X can rapidly map vast areas for road construction, power line routing, and urban planning, even penetrating dense vegetation to reveal accurate ground topography. This leads to more efficient planning, reduced project times, and significant cost savings.
​​​​​​
Enhancing Resource Sector Efficiency & Safety
For PNG's vital mining and resource industries, the Hovermap ST-X offers unparalleled capabilities. It can safely map dangerous underground environments, assess open-pit mine progress, and monitor geological stability, all while keeping personnel out of harm's way. Its ability to "see through" thick jungle canopy is particularly valuable for hydrocarbon exploration and geological mapping, uncovering hidden features.
Strengthening Environmental Management & Disaster Response
Accurate 3D models are crucial for understanding and managing PNG's rich biodiversity and vulnerability to natural disasters. The Hovermap ST-X can provide precise data for monitoring deforestation, assessing landslide risks, mapping coastal erosion, and aiding in post-disaster damage assessment, supporting crucial conservation and resilience efforts
​
Unlocking New Insights for Land Management
With its superior detail and ability to operate in complex environments, the Hovermap ST-X provides invaluable data for land titling, agricultural planning, and land-use assessment across PNG's diverse landscapes, supporting sustainable development and improved decision-making.
​
Connected PNG is committed to leveraging the power of Lidar technology such as the Emesent Hovermap ST-X to provide PNG with the high-resolution geospatial data needed to drive progress, improve safety, and unlock the full potential of its natural resources and infrastructure.
