Survey and Mapping

QUANTUM SYSTEM TRINITY PRO

Next-Generation eVTOL fixed wing mapping drone

For those requiring high fidelity surveys, optimising the operational efficiency and reducing time to delivery is critical. The Trinity Pro fixed-wing UAV offers a transformative solution.

The Trinity Pro delivers an extended flight time, rapid deployment, and versatile payload options, enabling operators to cover more ground faster, reducing project durations and labour costs.

A comprehensive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis reveals that using the Trinity Pro instead of quadcopter drones, can reduce costs by up to 40% on large projects due to fewer flights, less downtime, and faster data processing. For example, a 20km2 survey (2,000-hectare) would take multiple days and several flights with a quadcopter, while the Trinity Pro can complete it in a single day with fewer personnel. This increased efficiency leads to faster project turnaround and a stronger competitive advantage.

Trinity Pro in Action

Camera Payloads

Payload Versatility: Trinity Pro users have the choice between five different fully integrated cameras, including RGB, oblique, multispectral and LiDAR. They are easy to swap using the quick-lock mechanism of the payload compartment. The entire system architecture allows easy downstream integration of next generation cameras and simpler workflows.

Quick change:

Cameras can be easily swapped within seconds. They are securely integrated into the payload compartment that is attached to the UAS using a Quick Lock mechanism. No tools are required.

Easy access to data:

Access to the captured data is easy. SD cards or microSD cards are accessible via internal or external card slots.

Well protected:

All cameras are damped against in-flight vibrations to guarantee expected image quality. The eVTOL capability of the UAV allows for smooth landings, ultimately increasing the service life of the cameras.

Sony ILX-LR1, RGB Camera

The Sony ILX-LR1 camera, with its cutting-edge high-accuracy capabilities and expansive coverage, seamlessly integrates into Quantum Systems drones and allows direct camera control, while delivering exceptional image quality. The camera harnesses advanced sensor technology and processing power, resulting in an ultra compact solution that elevates project efficiency. Operators have the flexibility to customise settings to suit any mission, reducing data load and streamlining workflows, while maintaining image quality.

Phase One P5, RGB Camera

The Phase One P5 is the revolutionary flagship 128MP Medium Format camera that transcends its role as a mere camera – it‘s a survey-grade instrument set to redefine the way you capture. With an astounding 128-megapixel resolution, it delivers unprecedented image detail and resolution, ensuring the utmost accuracy and reliability in your survey data. Achieve exceptional results, down to 0.5 cm RMS XY/Z* absolute accuracy, making your data impeccably trustworthy. When paired with the Trinity Pro, the P5 swiftly covers large areas with survey-grade precision, significantly reducing time and costs compared to conventional methods. The electronic global shutter, combined with metrically calibrated lenses and sensor, reduces the necessity for extensive software corrections caused by pixel distortion, ensuring the preservation of high-quality data. The Phase One P5 is available in two options, 80mm and 35mm.

Oblique D2M Five-Lens RGB Camera

The Oblique D2M is a powerful oblique imaging system consisting of five high-resolution multi-directional cameras, making it the ideal tool for large scale 3D photogrammetry. A fast trigger interval along with custom high-speed storage provides class-leading time efficiency without compromising data quality. The payload combines four oblique and one NADIR camera to capture complex geometries with ease. This ensures remarkable detail even on slanted surfaces and makes Oblique D2M destined for 3D mesh generation of high-rise areas, industrial environments, archaeological sites and alike.

Qube 640 LiDAR Scanner

The Qube 640, a specialised LiDAR sensor co-developed with YellowScan for Trinity Pro and Tactical drones, features a selectable FOV (field of view) of up to 176°. Combined with Trinity’s capabilities, it enables 32km corridor scanning with one single flight. At 120° FOV, it improves productivity by 50% compared to its predecessor, the Qube 240. The sensor ensures improved vegetation penetration, detailing foliage and trunks, and facilitates vertical scanning applications with reduced outer edge mismatches, thanks to the new IMU. An integrated 8MP RGB camera enables LiDAR capture and colourisation in the same flight.
