Survey-grade drone mapping, multispectral remote sensing and geospatial analysis — flown, processed and delivered from right here in PNG. No fly-in contractors, no weeks of waiting.
AeroSpan Geospatial is a Papua New Guinea–based provider of drone mapping, multispectral remote sensing and survey-grade spatial data. We work with resource, agribusiness, construction, government and donor-funded clients who need accurate aerial data without the cost and lead time of contractors flown in from overseas.
Every project is grounded in PNG’s land, environmental and disaster-risk context — not just imported expertise applied from a distance.
Each service draws on the same flight kit — what changes is the sensor, the flight pattern and the analysis behind it.
Orthomosaics, DEMs and contour maps using RTK precision — no ground control points needed.
NDVI and vegetation index analysis to flag crop stress, irrigation issues and yield variability.
Repeat surveys and satellite data to track deforestation, logging impact and land-cover change.
Periodic progress orthomosaics, 3D models and stockpile/excavation volumetrics.
Rapid-turnaround mapping after cyclones, floods or landslides for DRRM-aligned reporting.
Tell us the problem, not the service — we’ll scope the right flight.
Talk it through →The same sequence every time — so clients always know where a project stands.
Define the area of interest, accuracy needs and deliverable format.
Schedule around weather windows and site/landowner permissions.
Capture imagery with the RTK base station for ground-truth accuracy.
Generate orthomosaics, elevation models and index outputs.
Report and debrief, walking through findings together.
| Fly-in contractor | AeroSpan Geospatial | |
|---|---|---|
| Mobilisation | Weeks, plus travel costs | Days, based in PNG |
| Local context | Limited | PNG land, environment & policy knowledge |
| Accuracy | Varies by provider | Centimetre-level RTK, no GCPs needed |
| Capability | Often single-sensor | Mapping + multispectral from one platform |
Compliance monitoring, site progress, EIA support for mining & petroleum.
Crop health and productivity mapping for plantations and outgrowers.
Topographic survey and volumetric data for contractors and engineers.
DRRM, land administration and environmental monitoring programs.
Land-use, conservation and baseline mapping for research partners.
Samuel brings a background in GIS and Remote Sensing together with applied research experience in land-use and natural resource monitoring. He is currently undertaking an MPhil in Geomatics at the PNG University of Technology, focused on drone and satellite remote sensing applications for land-use and logging-impact assessment — the same technical grounding that shapes every AeroSpan project.
