Taking Drone Technology Further Across Papua New Guinea

At LSYSTEMS-PNG, our core surveying expertise is now enhanced with a powerful range of extra drone services designed to deliver faster, safer, and more cost-effective solutions for infrastructure, industry, agriculture, and urban maintenance. These advanced capabilities use the latest UAV technology to access remote, hazardous, or elevated areas across PNG’s diverse terrain — from rugged highlands and coastal lowlands to growing urban centers in Port Moresby and beyond — without the risks, downtime, or high costs of traditional methods.

BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) Drone Operations

LSYSTEMS is the country’s first provider of BVLOS drone operations – enabling flights beyond the visual line of sight, setting a new standard in advanced drone surveying.

Drone Inspections

Towers • Tunnels • Bridges • Pipelines

• Communication & power transmission towers – Detect corrosion, structural fatigue, loose bolts, and vegetation encroachment in minutes instead of days.
• Road & mining tunnels – Identify cracks, water ingress, rockfalls, and lining damage with 360° coverage and 4K/thermal imagery.
• Bridges, dams, and pipelines – Safe, non-contact assessment in hard-to-reach or high-risk zones.

Benefits for PNG clients:

• Zero downtime for live infrastructure
• Detailed reports delivered same-day with 3D models and GIS integration
• Complies with PNG safety standards and international drone regulations
• Ideal for remote sites in provinces like Southern Highlands, Morobe, and Madang

Drone Lifting & Heavy Payload Transport

Precision aerial delivery and lifting where roads (or helicopters) can’t reach

Our heavy-lift drone fleet (payloads up to 50+ kg and beyond for specialised tasks) safely handles:

• Lifting towers in remote construction – Precisely position and install transmission/power towers, communication masts, structural components, rebar, beams, or precast elements at mountaintop, jungle, or river-crossing sites. Dual-drone coordinated lifts for heavier or awkward loads, reducing setup time, labour, and environmental impact compared to cranes or helicopters.
• Survey equipment, generators, tools, and spare parts
• Emergency medical supplies or disaster relief cargo
• Construction materials to mountaintop or jungle sites

Perfect for mining operations, hydro projects, power grid expansions, bridge/road builds, and remote community infrastructure where traditional access is impossible or expensive. Fast, quiet, precise, and environmentally friendly — boosting productivity in PNG’s challenging terrains.

Drone Delivery Services

Reliable aerial logistics for critical and routine supplies

• Rapid transport of urgent items like medical kits, spare parts, documents, or small machinery components to isolated mining camps, construction fronts, rural health centres, or disaster zones.
• Payload-secure drop systems for accurate, hands-free delivery without landing in tight or unsafe areas.
• Scheduled or on-demand flights for ongoing supply chains in remote PNG projects.

This service complements helicopter or road logistics, cuts costs and response times, and improves safety by minimising ground travel in high-risk or weather-affected regions.

High-Rise Building Washing & Facade Cleaning

Safe, efficient drone-based exterior cleaning for urban buildings

• High-rise commercial buildings, offices, hotels, and apartments – Remove dirt, bird droppings, pollution buildup, salt spray, and streaks from glass facades, cladding, and windows.
• Mid- to high-rise structures – Avoid costly, disruptive, or unsafe traditional methods like scaffolding or bosun chairs.

Key advantages for PNG clients:

• Dramatically improved safety – No workers at height; all operations from the ground.
• Faster completion – Up to 5-10x quicker than manual methods with minimal building downtime.
• Cost-effective – Reduced labour, equipment hire, and setup costs (30-60% savings).
• Eco-friendly soft washing – Lower water/chemical use while achieving professional results.
• Detailed before/after imagery and reports for property managers and owners.
• Suitable for glass-heavy modern buildings, concrete facades, and hard-to-reach upper levels.

Agriculture Farming Services

Precision farming drones for PNG growers

• Crop spraying – Uniform application of fertiliser, pesticides, and herbicides over large plantations (oil palm, cocoa, coffee, vanilla) with 90% less water and chemical waste.
• Crop health monitoring & mapping – NDVI, multispectral, and thermal imagery to detect disease, nutrient deficiency, and irrigation needs early.
• Planting & seeding – Automated drone seeding for difficult terrain.
• Yield estimation & farm planning – Accurate GIS maps for better land use and harvest forecasting.

Proven results in PNG conditions:

• Up to 30% increase in yield through early intervention
• Reduced labour costs and chemical usage
• Works in rainforests, steep slopes, and flood-prone areas
