What you will gain
- Explain Elios 3 hardware limits, flight modes, and pre-flight arming discipline
- Plan LiDAR flights for reflectivity, incidence, dust, and survey-grade density
- Use loop closures and desktop SLAM to control drift for deliverable clouds
- Capture visual, thermal, and ultrasonic evidence tagged to 3D digital twins
- Apply confined-space and non-ATEX go/no-go controls before every productive flight
- Connect missions to BIM, mine planning, class reports, and measurable ROI
Syllabus
- Platform architecture, flight dynamics, and hardware systems
- LiDAR physics, Ouster sensors, and spatial measurement
- Edge SLAM, sensor fusion, and drift mitigation
- Photometric lighting, GSD, and visual inspection
- Ultrasonic testing payload and Smart Probe Arm
- UT workflows, couplant, and A-scan interpretation
- Radiometric thermal and environmental auxiliary payloads
- Confined-space risk assessment and non-ATEX protocols
- Subterranean mining, volumetrics, and stope mapping
- Construction as-builts, BIM integration, and M3C2 deformation
- Boilers, power plants, and heavy industrial integrity
- Maritime and offshore IACS class surveys
- Flyability Cockpit and Inspector data reporting
- Desktop SLAM, georeferencing, and point-cloud optimization
- Enterprise SOPs, fleet lifecycle, and ROI modeling
Why this course fits
- Built from a full technical master curriculum — not a marketing overview
- Covers the real Elios 3 stack: cage flight, Ouster LiDAR, UT, thermal, Cockpit, and Inspector
- Safety and non-ATEX protocols sit beside the physics, not as an afterthought
- Ends with enterprise SOPs and ROI so you can justify a site program
Specialist industrial drone inspection course. Introduction to AI is helpful but not required if you already work in survey, NDT, or plant integrity.
