Engineering, Architecture and Urbanism, Applied to the management of the territory and resources
Tools and information systems to organize and manage the different areas of the Public Administrations responsible for the management and evolution of the territory:
- Cartography and urban planimetry
- Road plans, plots and boundaries
- Access (public and restricted) to urban planning information on “general plans”, “special plans” and “sector plans”, linking planimetric and cartographic information to urban legislation and regulations

Topography and digital cartography
The objective of cartography is the study and elaboration of maps that serve for navigation and the location of things.
Digital mapping, using geographic information systems, encodes and manages variables and geospatial data. For this, different resources are used, such as georeferenced databases, computer-aided design programs, automated cartography and remote sensing.
Digital topography and cartography allow the modeling of the physical world. The scope of modeling is very wide, going through mountains and rivers, to streets, buildings, cables and pipes of public services and other resources. The final utilities are as extensive as reality itself, any element that can be located in the territory has its place.
The territory represented by these systems can be displayed on maps with the help of geographic information systems that store, manipulate and display the referenced geographic data.
The resulting information layers are the essential work base for any management system related to any activity carried out on the territory.
Comprehensive operation of flight equipment
Long-haul, high-speed, multi-mission manned aircraft
Equipped with multiple sensors (cameras, lidar, radar, etc.) capable of flying in any scenario and climate, even in adverse weather conditions to guarantee the safety of the mission overpopulated areas.
Unmanned aircraft
Autonomous drones in general, with supervised, assisted or remote piloting for specific inspection missions:
UAV-VTOL: autonomous fixed-wing aircraft, with medium speeds and short-medium range, with a high glide ratio and fully vertical landing and takeoff capability, for planned multispectral and lidar photography missions.
Multi-rotor UAV: medium-low speeds and short-range precision hovering and very low speed flight, for supervised autonomous missions or with remote piloting of parcel mapping, detailed inspection of infrastructures, precision agriculture, emergencies and other missions.
- Digital mapping missions and monitoring of natural resources
- Inventories of public infrastructure and service networks
- Predictive maintenance of public infrastructure and service networks (electricity, water, roads, river traffic, etc.)
- Surveillance of urban compliance and industrial, economic, extractive activities (forestry, mining, fishing quotas, etc.) or modifiers of the territory
- Special surveillance and supervision missions of the territory
- Interpretation, reporting and maintenance of databases and images
- 100% autonomous mission planning, overflight exclusion sectors and other parameters.
- General flight planning: Meteorology, routes, overlaps, altitude above ground, flight altitude, speed, landing and take-off bases, schedules, logistics, security restrictions, authorizations, preparation and processing of the flight plan, etc.
Safety in overflight areas and for air traffic. ADS-B equipment
All our teams fly equipped with ADS-B transceivers, from the Dependent Automatic Surveillance – Broadcast system.
It is a system that actively transmits information about an aircraft, such as its position, determined via satellite, its altitude, speed, heading, vertical speed, aircraft identification, etc.
ADS-B allows identification by other aircraft and tracking by Air Traffic Control Authorities.
ADS-B is the standard adopted by the Agency for the Safety of Air Navigation in Africa.
Geolocation: Geographic Information Systems and Spatial Data Infrastructures
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Spatial Data Infrastructures (IDE) are the basic tools for handling and managing Geolocated data.
One of the basic components that characterize any human activity is the location where it occurs. Location of both the activity and the “inputs” and “outputs” that make it up.
Through the advanced use of GIS and IDE tools we can develop corporate information systems for the management, from the local to the national level, of all kinds of areas.
- Cadastral Systems: everything related to the ownership of urban and rural land. Identification of properties, characterization, appraisal, etc.
- Property Registry: Digital registry integrated with the Cadastre and other functions of the Digital Administration.

Legal and Economic Management of the Territory
IT and communications solutions for Digital Administration
Focused on the development, evolutionary maintenance and operation of systems capable of integrating land management, always updated, accessible to public administrations, professional users and the general population.
Legal certainty, transparency in management and compliance with processing times and processes oblige Public Administrations to join the “Digital Public Administration”.
Systems prepared for telematic management, which allow citizens to interact with all levels of public administration, imply a change both in the systems themselves and in communications.
The automation of processes and the publicity of all administrative procedures represent a change, not only technological, but also in the procedures and in the ways of approaching the public function.
The accreditation of the identity of the intervening parties requires certification systems from public administrations, both for citizens and public agents. It must guarantee not only its capacity to act but also its authority to decide. Certifications based on public and private keys are the usual guarantee tool in this type of system.
The Digital Public Administration, beyond a reality demanded by citizens towards public managers, is an essential tool of transparency required in relations with international organizations as a way of accrediting compliance with the agreed purposes.
