VTOL DRONES™
YOUR EYE IN THE SKY
Automate dull, dangerous, and dirty jobs with advanced Vertical Take-Off and Landing drones that provide a complete, intelligent view of the mine.
WHY VTOL DRONES™ ARE ESSENTIAL
ACCELERATED SALES & PLANNING
Conduct stockpile surveys 95% faster to provide near real-time data to your commercial team. Transform weeks of manual surveying into hours of automated data collection.
PROACTIVE SITE SECURITY
Patrol vast perimeters more effectively than ground crews to detect theft, illegal mining, and security breaches as they happen. Cover 10x more ground with 24/7 capability.
ENHANCED ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Use for pre-and-post-blast surveys, and monitor dust suppression and water runoff to provide critical data for reporting and regulatory compliance.
THE TECHNOLOGY: ARACE ROC PRO
HIGH-ENDURANCE VTOL PLATFORM
EXTENDED FLIGHT CAPABILITY
3-hour flight time with 225km range enables comprehensive site coverage in a single mission. Vertical take-off and landing eliminates the need for runways or launch equipment.
ADVANCED SENSOR PAYLOAD
5kg payload capacity supports multiple sensor configurations including high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging, LiDAR, and multispectral sensors for comprehensive data collection.
ALL-WEATHER OPERATION
Operates in wind speeds up to 17m/s and adverse weather conditions. Service ceiling of 4000m handles high-altitude mining operations with ease.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
