We are a RPA (Remote Piloted Aircraft) Service Provider start up company located at the UNE University “Smart Region Incubator”
Offering On-Site DJI RPA product and flight training services, RPA fleet management, and specialised aerial 2D & 3D mapping services in the New England Tablelands regional area of New South Wales. We are taking a different approach to RPA Sub 2Kg training, by offering o
n-site training for Landowners and Lease Holders. Our training teaches you how to integrate DJI Drones into your business. The advantages of on-site training is that our combination of basic theory of flying safely on your property and your CASA requirements are covered and you get a minimum of 1 hour of one on one practical flying. Our Trainers
Our trainers are locals of the New England Tablelands Area, which have completed a RPA Sub 2Kg Flight Training Course and together have 100+ hours flight experience. All our trainers are fully insured for Sub 2Kg in the use of DJI Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems. Our trainers have real world experience, and we have been perfecting our training procedures over the past 12 months here in Armidale NSW.

From current discussions with business and various agencies, there are many opportunities available in the New England region for our business. The region, and especially Armidale, provide a focus for regional technology businesses and are well connected with the NBN. Furthermore there are various activities emerging in the region well suited to RPA applications. These include expansion of large-scale renewable energy projects, precision farming research and development (e.g. the UNE Smart Farm), expansion of potential mining activities, ongoing broad-acre agricultural innovation etc. All these represent real opportunities for future local UAV applications, and especially for local RPA training. We are currently working with local Livestock Producers using RPA technology for aerial monitoring of livestock, asset management and pest/ weed control identification. We have 4 pilot sites, where we are testing and researching this technology, with a goal to create products and services that solve or reduce problems for the Livestock Producers. Everyday someone comes up with a problem drone technology can solve, and we filter out the problems we can solve right now!
