The Flying Kayak

Tactical Ground-Truth & River Reconnaissance

River Recon

Micro-Level Hydrology

While satellite data provides the "macro" view, The Flying Kayak provides the "micro" reality. This project focuses on the tactical deployment of aerial imaging directly from the river's surface. By capturing high-resolution 4K flight footage of riparian health, diversion structures, and bank conditions, The Flying Kayak "ground-truths" our hydrological models.

Visual Validation

It provides a visual validation layer that ensures our data isn't just a number on a screen, but a reflection of the real-world pulse of the Rio Grande. Every flight is metadata-tagged with GPS coordinates, allowing us to map specific observations back to the main Intelligence Feed.

  • Resolution: 4K High-Fidelity Video
  • Telemetry: GPS-Tagged Metadata
  • Objective: Infrastructure Inspection & Riparian Health
