Thermal Scanning

Taiga Air Services has been the innovator in using the FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) system to provide new solutions to our clients.  From power line inspections to wildfire scanning, to security and beyond, Taiga's flight and technical teams have the vision and the experience to make the most of thermal scanning for you.

Taiga uses the FLIR 2000 series scanner, a high resolution law enforcement grade unit which has the ability to resolve a temperature difference of as little as 0.16oC.  This scanner has both a wide field of view and a narrowed zoomed field with a 7.5X magnification.  As well, it's HgCdTe detector is unaffected by thermal glare, greatly increasing the air temperature in which it is effective.

Some of the many areas of use include:

  • Search & Rescue - find those who need to be found.
  • Law Enforcement & Public Security - find those who don't want to be found.
  • Wildfire Scanning - map fire lines, and find hot spots on or beneath a surface.
  • Power Line Surveys - locate sources of potential failures in transmission, distribution and substation systems.
  • Wildlife Surveys - quickly and accurately determine populations with your jurisdiction.
  • Environmental Studies - confirm storm water discharges in sensitive areas.
