The partner

RIEGL develops and produces LiDAR scanners and scanning systems for terrestrial, industrial, mobile and airborne applications.

The integration

The Callisto 50 carries the RIEGL VQ-840-G, a compact airborne laser scanner for combined bathymetric and topographic survey, with an optional factory-calibrated IMU/GNSS system and an optional camera or IR rangefinder. Its laser range measurements survey underwater topography at high resolution.

Applications

  • Coastline and shallow water mapping
  • River survey
  • Reservoir survey
  • Hydraulic engineering
  • Hydro-archaeological survey
  • Topographic survey

Crews

Training and accreditation

Freespace provides Callisto type training. These partners provide type-rated training, licensing and accreditation.

  • Authorised operator

Type-rated training, licensing and accreditation on the Callisto in Australia.

The partner

Toll Uncrewed Systems operates and trains on the Callisto in Australia, from its head office and maintenance facility in Brisbane and its training base at the ACE Training Centre, Bankstown, Sydney. It trains Defence, state police and other government agencies.

The partnership

Toll delivers type training, currency and operations under its own ReOC, so an organisation can put a Callisto to work before it holds its own approval.

  • Authorised training organisation
  • Test and evaluation

Flight test training, and type training, test and evaluation on the Callisto in Canada.

The partner

The International Test Pilots School (ITPS) Canada is a flight test organisation for flight test training and certification, providing training and services to military and civil aviation organisations globally.

The partnership

ITPS Canada operates the Callisto 50 for UAS flight test and advanced operator training in Canada, demonstrating its flight and handling qualities and performance, including underslung load operations.

  • Authorised training organisation

Remote pilot licence training, licensing and accreditation aligned to the Callisto.

The partner

Aviassist is a CASA certified remotely piloted aircraft training organisation, in aviation since 2008, delivering remote pilot licence, ReOC, BVLOS and EVLOS training across Australia.

The partnership

At 52 kg take-off weight, the Callisto 50 is flown under a Remote Pilot Licence for multirotor aircraft up to 150 kg. Aviassist trains and tests for that licence on the Callisto 50.

Fleet

Operations partners

Businesses that fly the Callisto as a service, and the software a fleet runs beside Juno.

  • Service partner

Infravision provides heavy-lift assisted line stringing as a service to energy networks worldwide.

Infravision is helping utilities build power lines faster, safer and more cost-effectively, with automated systems that build and repair transmission lines. Its mission is to make grid construction faster, safer and more affordable through drone-enabled automation.

The Callisto is the primary aircraft for Infravision's line stringing.

    • Software partner

    Compliance and records for the operations manual, and the personnel and maintenance records an approval holder must keep.

    AVCRM is aviation compliance and risk management software, a paperless management system for running an RPA operation and maintaining full CASA compliance.

    • Software partner

    Operations management for planning, authorisation and flight records across the fleet.

    FlyFreely is drone mission planning, compliance and fleet management software that helps drone programme managers, their pilots and contractors automate their drone operations.

    • Insurance partner

    Insurance for Freespace's flight operations as the manufacturer, flight testing included.

    Precision Autonomy insures commercial operators of drones, including uncrewed aerial systems, autonomous marine and uncrewed ground vehicles, with liability cover and optional ground and equipment cover.
