Collecting effective baseline data that is both accurate and reliable is an imperative step for any independent nation intent on combating the problems relating to education, health, security and service delivery. Given the complex nature of these problems, operating unmanned solutions (UAS) or manned solutions (MAS) independently, will not provide reliably layered data. However, when deployed in unison, the Hybrid System (HS) combine aerial unmanned technologies and manned systems capable of collecting vast amounts of data collaboratively.

These include: Aerial imaging, 3D mapping, population modeling and state of the art camera systems that include: LiDAR technology, thermal imaging, infrared and high-resolution aerial photography.

While developing the Hybrid System (HS), one of quest.tech’s key objectives was to create a hybrid solution that could resolve a variety of problems in two spheres; proactive and reactive. Proactively, the system can assist in aid relief, health, education, and organisation services. Reactively, the Hybrid System (HS) can be deployed with a time-sensitive response time when unfortunate natural disasters and crises occur (i.e. volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, landslides). The system is fully capable of getting supplies and key personal on the ground whilst having “eyes in the sky” for post-disaster damage assessment, assessing the implementation of aid and recovery efforts.

The HS has the capability to deploy up to 220lbs per aircraft of supplies and relief, whilst simultaneously transporting key personnel to-and-from the affected zones. The Hybrid System (HS) is quest.tech’s answer to these challenges. Utilising this hybrid system will supply crucial data that will inform policymaking, infrastructure & development, organisation services, projections & forecasting, modeling, mapping & planning.
