Better photos create better models
Photogrammetry | Digital Twins
Using sophisticated algorithms, Skyfish extracts the exact, minute, detailed features from thousands of photos, correlates and triangulates these features, then warps and stitches the photos seamlessly into high fidelity 3D reality models. Skyfish offers a fully integrated online portal (Skyportal) for customers to view the digital twins.
The result is an exact life-like replication, or “digital twin” of the target infrastructure. The 3D model is so detailed you can measure the thickness of steel, measure a cotter pin in a bolt, or the length of a cable to sub-centimeter accuracy inside the model.
Longer battery life
Flies Longer
Up to 60 Minute Flight Times. Osprey can be configured to fly for 40 or 60 minutes, depending on the battery selected. The radio range is 3 to 5 miles.
Geotagging every frame
Best in Class Location Accuracy
The Skyfish platform has amazing location accuracy with an automated geotagging process that is frame synchronous. We inject sub-centimeter data into every still or moving frame (incl. SONY LR1, FPV), and collision avoidance systems. The Osprey also uses an onboard RTK GPS solution with a stand-alone RTK Base Station. The base-station is survey grade, and can act as a relay to increase the range as required.
Fits in a backpack
Easy Portability
At ~14 lb all up weight, portability is built-in and ready for field deployment. The Osprey transports in a backpack or small case for easy mobility.
QGroundControl
Ground Remote Control
Skyfish has customized QGroundControl for flight navigation and is integrated with our proprietary remote controller. The intuitive ground control station for the MAVLink protocol features a Samsung tablet and offers an 8″ or 10″ screen for viewing of real-time video feeds and 4 joysticks (2 for navigation, 2 for sensor control).
American Made
Made in the USA and NDAA compliant
Based in Missoula, MT, Skyfish designs drones, battery systems, airborne guidance, and ground stations, which provide real-time video and telemetry feeds from the aircraft — all in house, for the past 10 years. Skyfish is certified Airworthiness Level 3 by U.S. Army DevCom and Green UAS (in process).
