Remote sensing is the branch of engineering which involves the collection of various types of physical data over an area from a remote location.   The industry that has built up around this engineering application often requires sophisticated instruments and ÒsurveyÓ systems.  These systems are used to acquire information needed for successful analysis of a given piece of terrain. 

 

Examples of data collected include measurements to detect buried objects, land topography, soil density, ground electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, etc.

AIRBORNE REMOTE SENSING / SURVEY SYSTEMS

Airborne systems are installed in and sometimes under aircraft to permit rapid system deployment and data collection.   Any permanent installation of equipment in a certified aircraft requires certification as well.   This is to ensure safety of the aircrew and the general public.   CRL has many years of experience in the design and certification processes in Canada, U.S.A. and Australia.   Let us assist with your airborne system needs.

GROUND BASED REMOTE SENSING SYSTEMS

Remote sensing systems are also very popular for a variety of scientific, industrial, environmental, and military applications.   Some examples of these are detection of buried objects (military, archeological, environmental), and detection of utilities such as electrical cables, water mains, etc.   CRL can design and develop complete systems around your ground mapping and buried object locating needs.
