📋 Overview

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have become a key tool for digital transformation across industry, infrastructure, agriculture and emergency response. UAS enable real-time monitoring of large territories, high-precision geospatial data collection, thermal and multispectral surveying, and security of critical infrastructure.

Frontier Base Systems supplies fixed-wing and multirotor UAS, professional electro-optical payloads, and provides system integration services tailored to client needs.

🛢️ Oil & Gas Industry

UAS are highly effective for facility monitoring and detection of third-party activity to ensure safe operation of trunk pipelines, prompt identification of equipment damage including oil spills on land and water, and thermal inspection of oil & gas facilities.

• Detection of third-party activity in pipeline protection zones
• Prompt identification of equipment damage, including oil spills
• Facility monitoring and incident analysis
• Production of orthophotomaps and digital terrain models
• Thermal inspection of oil & gas industry facilities
• Airborne laser scanning
• Identification of hazardous geological processes

🚨 Emergency Response & Rescue

UAS are highly effective in searching for missing persons, identifying avalanche victims, and guiding mobile search teams. They provide precise coordinates of emergency zones, communications relay, security for mass events, and control of transport routes.

• Search for missing persons in remote and hard-to-access terrain
• Determination of precise coordinates of emergency zone boundaries
• Communications relay during emergencies, public notification
• Search for avalanche victims
• Monitoring of wildfire and flood conditions
• Security of mass public events
• Guidance and coordination of mobile search teams

⚡ Overhead Power Line Monitoring

UAS are used to assess the condition of wires, cables, line hardware, towers and insulation. The system identifies hazardous trees, assesses clearing requirements, and monitors work execution within protection zones.

• Determination of coordinates of wires, cables and line hardware
• Assessment of clearing and right-of-way expansion requirements
• Inspection of towers and insulation
• Detection of wire sag and clearance measurement
• Identification of hazardous trees and objects
• Supervision of work execution within protection zones

🌲 Forestry & Agriculture

Fixed-wing UAS are used for monitoring large forested and agricultural territories. In forestry they support wildfire detection, post-fire damage assessment, forest health monitoring, and inventory management. In agriculture they enable crop monitoring, aerial livestock counts, and coordination of farm machinery.

• Early wildfire detection using thermal imaging
• Active fire monitoring: mapping of fire front and spread direction
• Post-fire damage assessment and restoration planning
• Forest health monitoring: pest infestations, disease outbreaks
• Production of orthophotomaps and digital terrain models
• Monitoring of reforestation and anti-desertification programs
• Aerial wildlife counts and anti-poaching surveillance
• Crop monitoring through full growing season

🏗️ Construction & Land Management

UAS provide high-precision data at every stage of infrastructure projects — design, construction, and operation. They produce orthophotomaps, digital terrain models, and remain operational on any terrain regardless of relief.

• Production of orthophotomaps, digital terrain models, digital twins
• Collection of up-to-date data for cadastral records
• Airborne laser scanning for as-built vs design comparison (BIM models)
• Point cloud classification
• Detection of unauthorized construction and land seizures
• Construction progress monitoring with 3D models
• Identification of deviations from project documentation

⛏️ Mining & Mineral Extraction

UAS are a critically important tool for modern mining. Drones enable regular mine surveying, monitoring of open pits and dumps, inspection of tailings storage facilities, equipment inspection and perimeter security.

• Mine surveying of open pits: orthophotomaps and DEM with cm-level accuracy
• Volume calculation of extracted rock, ore stockpiles and waste dumps
• Monitoring of pit wall, slope and bench stability
• Inspection of tailings storage facilities and dams
• Thermal inspection of equipment: conveyors, pump stations, processing units
• 3D modeling for blast planning and rock fragmentation optimization
• Geological exploration using magnetometers and spectrometers
• Environmental monitoring and perimeter security

🔧 Technological Capabilities

Real-time video and thermal monitoring

UAS enable real-time control of facilities at long distances and rapid situational assessment. Our UAS are equipped with modern electro-optical systems delivering high-quality video in both daytime and nighttime conditions.

Multispectral imaging

Multispectral imaging assesses vegetation quality and is a key tool for improving crop yields. Surveys combined with data analysis produce vegetation indices for plant condition assessment and yield potential analysis.

Key advantages of fixed-wing UAS

• Time savings — Rapid coverage of large areas, hundreds of hectares per flight
• Cost reduction — Lower operating expenses through process automation
• Improved data accuracy — High-precision photogrammetry and 3D modeling
• Long flight endurance — Ideal for large farms, forests, mining sites
• Resistance to electronic interference — Optical navigation systems, automatic return to launch point
