When it comes to complex sensing missions, the aircraft is more than just a platform, it’s a flying lab, communication hub, and precision instrument. At GNO-SYS, we specialize in designing and operating custom-configured aircraft that bring together multiple sensors, data systems, and communication tools into a cohesive, high-performance package. Here’s a closer look at the key components that make airborne systems mission-ready.
At the heart of any GNO-SYS deployment is integration. We work with clients to Design and Develop their aircraft to host a variety of sensing systems such as optical, infrared, thermal, and more, all synchronized through centralized control and data management systems. The operator station serves as the mission nerve center, enabling technicians to manage data acquisition, sensor calibration, and in-flight adjustments in real time.
Accurate geospatial data depends on precise positioning and timing. The multi-constellation GNSS antenna leverages signals from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellites to ensure high positional accuracy, even in challenging environments. Position and orientation data are combined to ensure that every data point is properly located, oriented, and time-stamped, a necessity for creating accurate and actionable intelligence and interoperable datasets.
Reliable communication is essential when relaying mission data and coordinating with ground crews. Meanwhile, all data and telemetry are handled through a hardened equipment rack, where mission-critical processors and recording systems operate under rigorous conditions.
Adding more sensors to a system introduces more variables: timing drift, data volume, electromagnetic interference, and operator workload all increase with system complexity. We mitigate these challenges with rigorous system integration, automation, and mission planning. From physical mounting and electrical routing to data synchronization and operator workflow, we ensure every component works in harmony, delivering clean, reliable, and timely data to decision-makers on the ground.
Multi-sensor airborne systems are powerful tools for understanding our world, but only when they’re designed to work as a single, coordinated system. At GNO-SYS, we build with the result in mind, engineering every element to meet the specific demands of our airborne clients, whether that’s for wildfire monitoring, infrastructure management, or responding to natural disasters.
Design: The Blueprint for High-Altitude Imaging Every great camera starts on paper. At GNO-SYS, we believe that designing advanced imaging systems begins with first principles:
In mapping, data quality comes down to precision, and at GNO-SYS, our laser systems are engineered to deliver high accuracy in some of the world’s
