Purpose Built, Nature First Technology
Our self-engineered AI empowered aerial climate-tech systems are designed for endurance, efficiency, and cost-effective restoration, monitoring, and MRV at scale.
We have come a long way since we started with our own engineered rigging, specifically designed for Avicinnia marina, and modified terrestrial drone design of Dronecoria to our completely in-house designed solutions and field methodology.
Always evolving, our climate-tech and field methodology is completely engineered by Distant Imagery from the ground up to meet the demands of large-scale restoration, environmental monitoring, and MRV. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, every drone, aircraft, and system we design is built for efficiency, endurance, and adaptability, ensuring restoration efforts are more effective, scalable, and cost-efficient.
High-Impact Aerial Systems
From low-cost seed dispersal drones to long-endurance hydrogen UAVs, our fleet covers hundreds of kilometers per mission, operating in extreme conditions while maximizing restoration efficiency.
Scalable, Cost-Effective Solutions
By designing modular, repairable UAVs, we reduce costs and increase reliability. Our drones—from wood-frame seed dispersal units to hybrid-electric heavy-lift UAVs—are built for rapid deployment and seamless integration.
Precision Monitoring & MRV
Equipped with thermal, multispectral, and high-resolution imaging, our aerial platforms track ecosystem recovery, biodiversity, and restoration outcomes with long-duration flights up to 4 hours.
Complete Mission Control
Our custom-built drone command trailer supports multi-drone deployment, ensuring seamless, remote restoration operations.
With a nature-first approach, we create efficient, scalable, and cost-effective restoration technology.
