Drone, AI & Geospatial Solutions — On Country.
AI First Nations delivers CASA-certified drone survey, environmental monitoring, and AI-driven geospatial intelligence for government, industry, and community — grounded in the world's oldest living knowledge systems.
What We Deliver on Country
We fly the job and deliver the intelligence — not just footage. Every service is CASA-compliant, fully documented, and informed by deep knowledge of Country.
Drone Survey & Aerial Operations
Infrastructure inspection, thermal imaging, environmental monitoring, and site surveys with the DJI Matrice 4T enterprise platform — centimetre-level RTK accuracy on every job.
Stockpile Volume Survey — 3D mapping and volumetric calculations for landfill, quarry, and road base. GSD to 1.07 cm/px.
Topographic Survey — High-resolution terrain mapping for earthworks, drainage, and civil planning.
Infrastructure 3D As-Built — Post-construction 3D models for roads, stormwater, levee banks, and community infrastructure.
Invasive Species Mapping
Aerial extent mapping of pond apple, hymenachne, rubber vine and other declared weeds — supports NRM and council compliance reporting.
Land & Sea Country Monitoring
Coastal erosion, wetland health, shoreline change, and fire scar mapping — culturally informed methodology developed with Traditional Owner groups.
Fauna & Wildlife Survey
Thermal-assisted wildlife detection, nest/habitat mapping, and marine megafauna monitoring — sharks, dugong, turtle (see Track Record for our shark-detection numbers).
Environmental Compliance Survey
Pre-clearing and pre-disturbance surveys, vegetation extent, and drainage mapping for development and mining proponents.
Thermal Inspection
Solar panel hot-cell detection, building envelope survey, and infrastructure inspection via the M4T dual RGB/IR camera.
Cultural Heritage Documentation
3D photogrammetric recording of heritage sites and cultural landscapes — delivered to heritage registers with full metadata.
Indigenous Procurement
Engaging AI First Nations satisfies RAP supplier diversity and Commonwealth IPP requirements — a genuinely credentialled, ORIC-registered, CASA-certified operator.
Environmental AI & Species Detection
Proprietary AI pipeline developed with RMIT University — Australia's first mangrove species detection system, 97% classification accuracy. Available for licensing.
Compliance Consulting
CASR Part 101 compliance advice, drone operating procedures, pre-contract assessment, and incident readiness planning.
Real Jobs. Real Country.
We don't pitch capability — we demonstrate it. Every project below was delivered on Country with full CASA compliance and documented results.
Enterprise-Grade. Field-Ready.
We operate DJI's leading enterprise survey platform — the same aircraft used by government agencies and major environmental consultancies across Australia.
640×512 IR Thermal + Laser Rangefinder
Fully Licensed. Fully Documented.
Every flight is backed by active CASA certification, Indigenous business registration, and full JSA documentation — giving procurement teams everything they need for compliance and reporting.
