Spatial Scientific nominates the RFDS as its official charity
Spatial Scientific has chosen the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) as the charity it will support in the coming years.
At its recent Christmas party, Spatial Scientific held a raffle which raised $310 for the RFDS. Spatial Scientific CEO, Paul Dare, said "Since we do a lot of work in the outback, and obviously a lot of our work is around aircraft, it seems only natural that we should support the flying doctor." More details about the RFDS can be found here.
Spatial Scientific becomes an official FLIR Systems integrator and reseller
FLIR Systems, the global market leader in thermal imaging cameras, recently awarded Spatial Scientific the status of "official integrator and reseller".

Based at the University of Melbourne, Dr Cronk will work on the commercialisation of new software that saves clients time and economic resources, by integrating imaging systems to meet clients' specific needs.
Spatial Scientific presents leading-edge environmental imaging technology at Mining Innovation Seminar in Adelaide
Pressure is increasing on mining companies to monitor environmental change and airborne imaging provides a solution, according to Dr Paul Dare, Spatial Scientific CEO. Presenting at the Innovate SA Mining Innovation Seminar in June, Dr Dare explained how multispectral airborne imaging can deliver the most precise vegetation mapping solution in Australia. Widely used by mining companies operating in WA, the technology is now being taken up in South Australia.
OZ Minerals starts environmental mapping project with Spatial Scientific
As part of OZ Minerals' sustainability policy of 'Zero Harm by Choice', the mining company has engaged Spatial Scientific to provide airborne imaging services. Spatial Scientific is using Australia's most precise environmental sensor to monitor natural vegetation at OZ Minerals' site near Prominent Hill. The project began this year and monitors the natural environment over time.
Unique, custom-built Airborne Remote Sensing System delivered to WA government
Spatial Scientific's experience in systems integration played a key role in the design and delivery of the system, delivered to the WA Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in March. The system, custom-built to meet DEC's specific requirements, can be used for a range of airborne imaging applications including real-time fire mapping, fire scar imaging and vegetation monitoring. Spatial Scientific Pty Ltd assembled a team of world-leading experts to build the system, which uses Specim and FLIR technology as well as customised software and hardware.
