Overhead Intelligence’s Post

July was a flight filled month for our pilots as they teamed up with GroundTruth Exploration to survey mineral exploration sites in Northern Quebec and Labrador. Here's the high-flying scoop: ✈ An impressive 278 line kilometers flown each day on average 📏 3,056 total line kilometers flown 🌎 247 square kilometers surveyed (61.1k acres) 📅 11 flight days Together, we're ramping up our operations and making big strides in the mineral exploration districts of the North!

Overhead Intelligence Secures Expanded SFOC Permissions from Transport Canada for Nationwide Mineral Exploration. Overhead Intelligence (OI) has been awarded a new series of Special Flight Operations Certificates (SFOCs) by Transport Canada. This marks a historic achievement for OI, as it is the first time the company has received authorization to conduct advanced mineral exploration surveys across all 13 Canadian provinces and territories. The granted SFOCs focus on facilitating wide area magnetometry surveys, leveraging the capabilities of OI's innovative MagPlane technology. The MagPlane, a cutting-edge addition to OI's fleet, is specifically designed for expansive area surveys. With the support of Transport Canada's SFOCs, OI is now poised to harness the full potential of the MagPlane's long-range capabilities, offering a robust and efficient alternative to traditional manned aircraft magnetometry surveys. Furthermore, the latest round of SFOCs enhances OI's operational scope by incorporating photogrammetry techniques, paving the way for richer data collection and analysis. In addition to these advancements, OI is actively developing a lidar-equipped aircraft, aiming to further expand its survey capabilities and efficiency. The newly acquired SFOCs are set to significantly contribute to this development, underscoring OI's commitment to pioneering in the field of mineral exploration.

Thanks to the Office of Naval Research for inviting us to attend and support the Frozen Flyer Arctic UAS demonstration in Greenland. We look forward to continuing to develop Arctic drone capabilities for both defense and commercial use cases. 

The team has successfully completed another magnetometry survey in the subarctic region with our custom MagPlane. It took only 6 flight days and 60 flight hours for the team to cover 1250 line kilometers. Congratulations to our engineers and pilots that supported this job!
