Scientific
Havoc Systems provides UAV services and specialty applications for research science. We utilize UAV platforms for orthomosaic mapping and GIS data of marine resources including mussel-beds, rock weed harvest management, aquaculture spatial maps, and shoreline assessment. We have developed applications for NOAA, including a UAV underwater towed camera system for live visual data collection, and an acoustic real time hydrophone recording system with visual data overlay from the UAV.

HARVEST STUDY
As state and federal departments use and harvest natural resources, it's important to be able to monitor, understand, and manage them for long term sustainability. Baseline data is critical to help determine this sustainability and need to be accurate and defensible for proper management regulations. Havoc Systems can get into hard to reach places from the shoreline or from vessels, fly surveys in a time efficient and accurate manner, and produce reliable maps and data for resource managers. These surveys are repeatable and an excellent way to establish a baseline data set for harvest assesment and management.
MUSSLE BED SURVEY EFFORT
Here one can see the mussel harvest drag impact and mussel density post-harvest.
orthomosaic photo SURVEY
Algae plume photographic survey in a standard high resolution, orthomosaic photo survey allows visual assessment of shoreline algae plumes. Analysis can be conducted and measured using post-processing tools.
DRONE & Underwater UAV
Havoc has been involved with a variety of research projects.
RGB color spectrum analysis
The second part of the algae project is a survey using an RGB color spectrum analysis to determine coverage and density of the plume.
