Capturing biodiversity — without disturbing the habitat

Disturbance-free species and environmental monitoring from the air — low-noise, downwash-free, with AI-assisted analysis.

The problem

More monitoring demand, less disturbance desired

The need for automated environmental monitoring is growing — driven by legal requirements (such as environmental impact assessments and species protection), biodiversity conservation and the land-intensive expansion of renewable energy. Conventional surveys are labor-intensive, point-based and disturbing through on-site presence and noise — especially in sensitive habitats and with shy species.

The solution

Capture → Identify → Analyze

A clear workflow — from gentle capture to a reproducible population-data basis.

Step 1

Capture

Low-noise LTA platform with multimodal sensors (visual and acoustic), habitat-friendly.

Step 2

Identify

AI-assisted analysis to identify species — image and sound combined.

Step 3

Analyze

Area-wide, reproducible population data as a basis for decisions.

Why h-aero

Habitat-friendly

Quiet and downwash-free — animals remain undisturbed, unlike with conventional drones.

Multimodal AI analysis

Combined image and audio analysis for robust species identification.

Coverage & accessibility

Captures large and hard-to-access areas from the air.

Note: Disturbance-free biodiversity capture is an application field in development and testing — we deliberately make no finished accuracy promises here.

Applications

Possible fields of use

One platform, many applications — wherever gentle, area-wide capture is required.

Species & population capture

Multimodal (visual + bioacoustic) monitoring for species identification.

Breeding & resting birds, mammals

Disturbance-free capture in sensitive habitats.

Wildlife corridors

Observing migration movements without human presence on site.

Habitat & biodiversity mapping

Large-area structural mapping of habitats.

Protected areas & impact planning

Supporting Natura 2000, EIA and species-protection assessments.

Status remains “application field in development” — no finished accuracy promises.

Process

From first look to monitoring agreement

  1. Initial assessment — a joint evaluation of your area and your monitoring needs.
  2. Pilot flight — gentle capture and a first AI-assisted analysis.
  3. Monitoring agreement — recurring, reproducible capture as needed.
