BlueCap Australia
Explore BlueCap-operated UAV geophysical survey equipment: a long-endurance helicopter, drone magnetometer and LiDAR payload systems. Not sold or leased.
Aircraft · payloads · field QC · controlled processing
BlueCap develops and integrates the aircraft, measurement payloads and operating software used by its own field teams. These systems are not sold or leased: clients engage BlueCap for a complete magnetic, LiDAR or radiometric survey service in which carrier, sensor geometry, positioning, communications and processing are configured for the required outcome.
BlueCapHeli® provides the long-endurance airborne carrier. BlueCapBird® measures the magnetic field close to terrain. BlueCapLidar® records the surface and ground geometry. BlueCapRTK® holds every measurement to a geodetic position. Each system has its own engineering role and remains part of a complete BlueCap-operated service.
Medium-sized petrol UAV helicopter with interchangeable 3.2 L and 10 L fuel configurations. The mission selects up to 3 h or up to 8 h endurance; normal project-qualified survey speed is approximately 100 km/h.
Open system architecture
Light and Fast variants use the same QuSpin QTFM Gen 2 scalar total-field sensing architecture. BlueCap selects compact low-speed acquisition or actively controlled large-area production from terrain and sensor-geometry requirements.
Open system architecture
Two DJI Livox Avia scanners, active optical shutters, four IMUs, RTK positioning and a locally synchronised record form one terrain-acquisition payload for large survey areas.
Open system architecture
In-house RTK developed for real large-area surveys in bush, desert and mining environments. Correction algorithms on the base station and on each helicopter hold survey-instrument accuracy — 8 mm + 1 ppm horizontal, sub-centimetre vertical — the accuracy ceiling of every LiDAR terrain product.
Open system architecture
A sensor specification alone does not deliver a survey. BlueCap plans the geometry, qualifies the carrier and payload combination, keeps acquisition visible in the field and controls the processing path to the agreed data product.
Polygon, terrain, spacing, sensor geometry, outputs, approvals and operating constraints define the mission.
Fuel cycle, reserve, communications and payload integration are selected for the approved operating plan.
BlueCapBird®, BlueCapLidar® or a radiometric configuration records the project-specific physical measurement.
Position, attitude, sensor output and telemetry remain visible for acquisition QC while the team is deployed.
BlueCap workflows convert the complete record into traceable terrain, magnetic or radiometric products.
