Defensible Aerial Data for Critical Infrastructure
MIR collects RGB, radiometric thermal, RTK mapping, and LiDAR data for infrastructure teams that need organized, defensible records they can review, share, and act on.
Blue UAS Cleared
Freefly Astro aircraft listed within the Blue UAS framework for procurement-sensitive missions.
$5M Aviation Liability
Coverage built for infrastructure field operations.
Redundant Aircraft
Dual American-made Freefly Astro platforms with RGB and LiDAR payloads for mission continuity.
Mobile Field Support
Charging, live viewing, and data review for sustained operations.
Capabilities & Deliverables
One Accountable Field-to-Data Workflow.
MIR collects RGB, RTK mapping, LiDAR, and radiometric thermal data, then processes it into measurable maps and models — verified against surveyed control before delivery.
MIR provides aerial data and documentation support. Licensed survey, engineering, or design determinations remain with the appropriate professionals when required.
Surveyed Control to Measurable Data
Control Surveyed In
Ground control points and independent check points are surveyed across the site with RTK.
Project Flown
The planned mission is flown to capture the full site.
Post-Processing
Imagery is processed into orthomosaics, surfaces, and models.
Accuracy Report
A Pix4D report checks the model against the surveyed check points to confirm it meets the project requirement.
Verified — Within 1/10 ft where accuracy is required
Delivered
The finished project is delivered through a Pix4D Cloud link to view, measure, and share.
