DESIGN THE WHOLE CHAIN

Every Component Must Support the Same Operational Result.

A strong system begins with the deliverable and works backward through processing, collection, communications and field operations. A single incompatible component can limit the entire workflow.

01

Aircraft

Payload capacity, endurance, weather envelope, portability, redundancy and operating eligibility.

02

Payload

Sensor type, accuracy, resolution, range, field of view, mounting and data characteristics.

03

Connectivity

Command and control, cellular or site networking, correction services and remote access.

04

Software

Mission planning, fleet management, processing, analysis, GIS and enterprise-system handoff.

05

Deliverable

Live intelligence, inspection evidence, map, model, point cloud, measurement or business record.

INTEGRATION CAPABILITIES

Resolve Compatibility Before It Reaches the Field.

System design connects manufacturer capabilities with site conditions, operating requirements and the downstream systems your organization already uses.

01

Platform + Payload Configuration

Match aircraft interfaces, capacity, flight performance and supported sensors to the capture requirement.

  • Native and supported payload combinations
  • Weight, balance and operational impacts
  • Accessories, power and field kit
02

Positioning + Accuracy Design

Configure RTK, base-station, network-correction and control workflows around the accuracy target.

  • Coordinate and correction strategy
  • Control and validation method
  • Field-to-office data continuity
03

Communications + Remote Operations

Review command links, site networking, cellular connectivity, Dock infrastructure and resilience.

  • Coverage and bandwidth assessment
  • Power and physical infrastructure
  • Contingency and recovery planning
04

Software + Data Workflow

Connect planning, collection, processing, analysis, storage and delivery without unnecessary handoffs.

  • File formats and data volumes
  • FlightHub 2, Terra and GIS pathways
  • Access, retention and reporting
05

Third-Party Integration Review

Evaluate custom sensors, manufacturer SDKs/APIs, mounting, compute, telemetry and business-system connections.

  • Interface and compatibility screening
  • Development and vendor dependencies
  • Testing and support ownership
06

Field Readiness + Lifecycle

Complete the system with transport, charging, spares, training, maintenance and acceptance planning.

  • Battery and charging workflow
  • Deployment and readiness checklists
  • Support, replacement and scale plan
SYSTEM PATHWAY BUILDER

Start With the Required Output.

Select the workflow closest to the mission. The result shows the system layers that normally require joint design and validation.

SYSTEM PATHWAY

Georeferenced Data to a Validated Deliverable

Design the capture and processing chain around accuracy, coverage, coordinate reference, site conditions and the format required downstream.

DESIGN PROCESS

Move From Requirement to an Accepted System.

The process closes technical assumptions early, then proves the system under controlled conditions before it becomes an operational dependency.

01

Requirements Definition

Translate the mission, environment, constraints and deliverable into measurable system requirements.

02

Architecture + Compatibility

Map components, interfaces, data flow, dependencies and operational impacts before procurement.

03

Configuration + Integration

Assemble the supported hardware, software, network, settings and field deployment package.

04

Testing + Documentation

Test against defined scenarios and capture results, limitations, procedures and outstanding actions.

05

Acceptance + Handover

Confirm performance, train responsible users and transfer the system with its support pathway.

VALIDATION + ACCEPTANCE

Prove the System Against the Requirement.

Acceptance criteria should be established before testing, with evidence that can be reviewed by both operators and the business owner.

01

Compatibility

Confirm supported interfaces, firmware, mounting, power, communications and software versions.

02

Performance

Measure the required range, coverage, data quality, accuracy, runtime and environmental response.

03

Operational Fit

Test field setup, staffing, transport, charging, turnaround, abnormal events and recovery.

04

Data Continuity

Trace files and information from collection through processing, review, storage and delivery.

05

Handover

Close actions, document limitations, train users and assign support and configuration ownership.

CANADIAN DEPLOYMENT READINESS

Technical Fit and Operating Eligibility Must Align.

A component can be technically compatible and still be unsuitable for the intended Canadian operation. System design should consider aircraft declarations, weight, airspace, operating category, site conditions and accountable procedures before acceptance.

01

Aircraft + Configuration

Confirm registration, declared capabilities and the effect of payloads or configurable elements.

02

Mission + Airspace

Match the system to the intended category, location, proximity, visibility and authorization needs.

03

Site + Infrastructure

Validate power, network, weather, physical security, access and recovery arrangements.

04

Procedures + Training

Document roles, normal operations, contingencies, maintenance, records and user readiness.

Regulatory information is provided for general planning and is not legal advice or an operating authorization. Requirements must be confirmed for the specific system and operation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

System Integration, Clearly Explained.

Questions to resolve before configuring or procuring a complete enterprise system.

How is system design different from product selection?

Product selection compares individual equipment. System design connects the aircraft, payload, communications, software, data, field equipment, procedures and support model to a defined operational requirement.

Can you design around equipment we already own?

Yes. Existing aircraft, payloads, software, positioning equipment and team capabilities can be reviewed for compatibility, remaining service life, workflow fit and integration gaps.

Do you support third-party payloads?

Potential third-party integrations can be screened for physical, electrical, communications, software, operational and support requirements. Feasibility depends on the exact aircraft, interface, manufacturer documentation, SDK/API access and integration partner.

Can the design include DJI Dock and remote operations?

Yes. A Dock design should include the compatible aircraft, site, power, networking, command platform, supervision, operating procedures, Canadian permissions and ongoing site support as one system.

Can you connect the workflow to GIS or business software?

The engagement can define file formats, data flow, storage, access and available integration paths. Implementation depends on the capabilities and interfaces supported by each platform.

How do you verify that the system works?

Acceptance criteria are defined against the requirement, then tested through configuration checks, controlled field scenarios, sample datasets, operational workflow review and documented action closure.

What information should we provide first?

Describe the mission, operating environment, expected deliverable, frequency, accuracy or performance target, project timing, existing equipment and any software or systems that must receive the result.
