Platform can be used for:
  • Wildlife conservation activities
  • Forest conservation
  • Weather monitoring and recording
  • Monitoring riots for instance by security organs
  • Research institutions such as KARI for outputs such as weather, and others
  • Agricultural activity or for fumigation
  • Monitor land related issues such as land use.
  • Aerodynamics research
  • Flight training schools to complement their lessons with advanced flight simulation coupled with real time data from the aerial platform
  • Fire department for quick response to fire threats
  • Emergency services such as ambulance for quick transfer of patients to hospitals
  • Marine biologists for marine conservation
  • Media Houses to capture real time events
Now featuring professional airframes:


... to make readings and measurements including
