Aerial observation is the visual surveillance and interpretation of an oil spill. SEAPRO uses a trained observer in conjunction with a small unmanned aerial system (drone) to recognize and capture many features and details of spilled oil on water and along coastlines. Photography and video are used by the observer to record the location, nature and appearance of the oil.
The drone is waterproof with a 4K camera and payload release capability for search and rescue assistance. The camera has low-light camera capability and can be equipped with IR/FLIR camera technology. It is an all-purpose, all-weather, waterproof flying platform.
