Drone (RPAS) Solutions

At Collard Bushfire and Environmental, our fleet of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) delivers fast, safe, and cost-effective data collection in even the most challenging environments.

Drones allow us to capture high-quality aerial data without the expense and risks of traditional fieldwork, making them an essential tool for land management, compliance, and disaster response.

Whether it’s LiDAR scanning, multispectral and thermal imaging, or heavy-lift operations, our drone services combine advanced technology with decades of field expertise to provide reliable insights and tailored solutions.

Our Drone Capabilities

Advanced aerial solutions tailored for land, compliance, and disaster resilience

LiDAR Scanning

  • Highly accurate terrain and vegetation mapping
  • Supports 3D modelling, hazard assessments, and planning
  • Ideal for projects needing precise topographic data

Multispectral & Thermal Imaging

  • Detect vegetation stress and monitor land health
  • Identify fire hotspots, heat loss, and environmental change
  • Supports bushfire prevention and environmental monitoring

Heavy-Lift Drone Operations

  • Payloads up to 150kg for spraying, spreading, and aerial application
  • Ideal for agriculture, pest control, and fire suppression support
  • Faster, safer, and more cost-effective than ground operations

Real-Time Aerial Assessments

  • On-demand aerial imagery for compliance and safety monitoring
  • Supports insurance documentation and planning submissions
  • Immediate data delivery for faster decision-making

Why Drone Solutions Matter

  • Faster & Safer: Reduces the need for risky or time-consuming ground surveys
  • Cost-Effective: One flight can cover what would take days of manual work
  • Compliance Support: Provides aerial evidence for planning approvals, insurance, and environmental regulations
  • Adaptable: From farms and forests to industrial and construction sites, drones adapt to almost any project

Example Applications

  • Fire Management – fuel mapping, hotspot detection, suppression support
  • Infrastructure Inspection – monitoring powerlines, water assets, comms towers
  • Agricultural Support – spraying, spreading, and monitoring crop health
  • Disaster Response – rapid aerial assessments after fires, floods, or storms
