Payload bays / Four sensor stacks
One airframe, four mission profiles.
Payload bays are mechanically and electrically standardized. Switching between sensor stacks takes under twenty minutes on the ramp.
- Payload bay 01
RGB optical
Visible · survey-grade
Survey-grade visible imagery for corridor inspection, asset condition and orthomosaics — stabilised and geotagged.
- Payload bay 02
IR thermal
LWIR · radiometric
Radiometric long-wave infrared for hotspots, overheating joints, fire fronts and post-incident heat mapping.
- Payload bay 03
LiDAR
Point cloud · terrain
High-density point clouds for terrain models, vegetation encroachment and structural geometry along the route.
- Payload bay 04
Methane LDAR
OGMP 2.0 · EU 2024/1787
Methane leak detection calibrated to OGMP 2.0 for EU Methane Regulation 2024/1787 compliance surveys.
Operating modes
Three flight profiles, one airframe.
- Mode 01
Corridor inspection
Pre-defined waypoint mission over linear infrastructure — power lines, pipelines, rail. Anomaly-flagged imagery, geotagged, ready for asset-management ingest.
- Mode 02
Area survey
Wide-area grid coverage for environmental monitoring, post-incident assessment or change detection. Up to 200 km² per mission.
- Mode 03
Persistent patrol
Long-loiter station-keeping over an area of interest. Twelve-hour endurance lets the same aircraft cover what previously required three rotations.
Certification path
EASA SORA dossier in preparation. SAIL II–III targeted for industrial corridors.
CSK-01 is designed from the outset for the EASA Specific category at SAIL II–III. ConOps, ground risk mitigation, air risk class and operational safety objectives are documented through every design and test gate.
