Kalashnikov Opens the Far East: Concern to Showcase Digital Terrain Models and Anomalous Magnetic Field Maps

The company "Quiet Wings" (part of the Kalashnikov concern) is nearing the end of a large-scale aerogeophysical survey in remote areas of the Far East. The work, commissioned by a number of Russian companies, includes a comprehensive study of promising ore deposits and adjacent territories using advanced remote sensing technologies, such as airborne laser scanning, aerial photography, and aeromagnetic surveying.

A year earlier, "Quiet Wings" had already performed similar work using the Alfa-E vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and achieved good results. This year, the total area of territories to be surveyed is eight times larger.

The operation of the Alfa-E UAV in the Far East required significant efforts from the company's specialists to adapt to extreme conditions. The region is characterized by changeable weather: frequent and intense rains, strong gusts of wind reaching 18 m/s, and sharp temperature changes from 4°C to 30°C created serious obstacles. In addition to weather factors, operators had to work in conditions of incomplete information about the terrain, with elevation differences of up to 800 meters, among dense vegetation and with a limited number of open spaces suitable for launching drones.
