Zala has completed industrial testing of its T-16 drone complex, focusing on multispectral imaging for oil and gas infrastructure in northern latitudes. The trials were conducted in swampy terrain to monitor extraction sites and transport pipelines.
The technology identifies chemical anomalies in soil and vegetation that are invisible to the naked eye. Zala adapted the system for fixed-wing drones, using mathematical calculations to adjust for low sun angles and high flight speeds typical of northern regions.
The methodology integrates aerial photography with multispectral scanning to detect leaks, assess contamination levels, and distinguish spills from natural processes. Data is processed locally within Russia, avoiding third-party cloud servers.
These tests confirm the practical utility of the Zala system for identifying critical infrastructure breaches in challenging climates. The approach offers higher detail compared to satellite monitoring by operating directly over the target sites.
