Training that builds ranger drone skills on your own Country, and drone and AI services that put ranger knowledge in charge of the results.
Junior rangers follow the same Drone Class pathway as schools, from first flight to careers:
At 501, participants aged 16+ complete their own CASA operator accreditation. See the levels.
Ranger Drone Training: three levels delivered on your Country, using the DJI Matrice 4T enterprise drone for real ranger tasks.
It prepares rangers for CASA operator accreditation and for a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) from an approved training provider.
Good to know. AI First Nations runs training as guided engagement under its CASA ReOC. It is not a CASA licence. Rangers who will fly for work still need CASA's own steps: an ARN, operator accreditation and, for larger drones and most professional jobs, a RePL from an approved provider. We help rangers get there.
Planned mapping flights turned into measurable maps (orthomosaics) and 3D models of your sites.
Finding and measuring infestations, planning treatment and checking the results. Over 1,170 pond apple trees treated with Goondoi.
Repeat surveys of wetlands and creeks, flown the same way each time so maps can be compared.
Mangrove mapping and species identification, using the mangrove AI built with RMIT University.
Thermal (infrared) drone surveys, day and night, to find and count feral pigs, buffalo, wild horses, deer, kangaroos and crocodiles, for feral animal control, wetland protection and crocodile safety.
Night operations are flown under CASA approval.
AI sorts thousands of images quickly. Every result is marked AI-generated until a ranger checks it.
Where we work. Far North Queensland, the Torres Strait and the Northern Territory, and Sydney's Northern Beaches, where we fly shark monitoring for Surf Life Saving NSW with KJR.
