HELIKITE SERVICES
Providing Airborne Capabilities For You
Customers do not necessarily need to purchase Helikites in order to benefit from their unique capabilities. We can arrange for Helikites to be flown by our trained operators, in most parts of the world.
Especially useful for:
- Short-term requirements
- Situations where the customer has no spare personnel to fly the Helikite.
- Customers with no desire to purchase capital equipment.
- Urgent situations, where there is no time to train new personnel
- Situations where there are no means of on-site Helikite storage.
- Specialised situations, such as maritime or military trials, where extra experience is valuable
We will arrange any air-traffic control permissions, if they are needed.
Our personnel will assess the site, determine and make ready the correct Helikite and payload to use, travel to the site and fly the equipment. Some payloads, such as surveillance equipment may be supplied and operated by our personnel. Other equipment, such as sensitive scientific payloads, or radio-relays, are likely to be supplied and operated by the customer whilst being flown by our personnel.
Wherever possible, we supply operators who not just good Helikite operators, but are also experts in the type of operations being undertaken. So, surveillance will be done by trained surveillance experts, many ex-servicemen, well versed in police or military procedures. Radio communications will be serviced by operators experienced in this field. Aerial photography will be done by cameramen, and surveying by trained surveyors.
