Changes worth a closer look.
Real reference images. A starting point for targeted surveys.
New transport links
A new route cuts across the fields.

A satellite can tell you where to look.
The last mile of satellite monitoring.
Detect a change, send a drone to the right place, and return with detailed evidence. For a landscape such as Khosrov, a station deployed nearby could support permitted post-fire surveys and repeat visits to observe recovery.
26–27 SEPTEMBER · YEREVAN
Hackathon plan
Three planned outputs.
One complete cycle on a real site.
Change map + model
Label changes in Armenian satellite scenes. Train and test a detector.
Drone task + field photos
Map the survey area. Visit a permitted site near Yerevan with our drone and operator.
Verified case report
Compare the evidence, document what changed and close the case.
WHO IT IS FOR
Agriculture
& environment
Observe agricultural land, vegetation, slope changes, snow cover and water extent. Combine broad satellite views with local measurements and targeted surveys.
Landowners
& developers
Follow construction, roads and infrastructure with repeat surveys. Give owners, developers and investors a dated visual record of progress on the same site.
Government
Provide departments with mapped changes, source imagery and field evidence. Support land management and environmental monitoring, including post-fire and flood assessment.

REPEAT SURVEYS · RELOCATABLE FIELD BOX
Keep watching
the same place.
Bring the station to a site. Collect regular drone surveys. Move it when monitoring is complete.
Deploy across Armenia.
Bring it where monitoring is needed. Run repeat surveys, then move it on. No permanent construction.
Innovation in rose tuff.
Monitoring technology meets traditional Armenian stone carving. A field station and a small work of public art.
Design concept. Deployment and flights depend on site conditions and permissions. Decorative branding does not imply partnership.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT
Building for
our new home, Armenia.
Entrepreneurs across countries and industries. Ready to invest our own resources and keep building beyond the hackathon.
