Defensible wildlife counts without disturbance

Noninvasive, fixed wing Aerial Infrared (AIR) wildlife surveys planned, flown, and verified in house by seasoned pilots, wildlife biologists, and sensor operators. We deliver high quality, defensible data for wildlife management.

Pioneers of Aerial Infrared wildlife surveys, supporting state and federal agencies across North America.

Need wildlife counts that stand up to review?

Short field windows, vast terrain, and public scrutiny make surveys hard to defend, especially when methods vary or disturbance shifts animals. Our approach is built around noninvasive AIR surveys from altitude, standardized procedures, and an integrated team that keeps coverage consistent and results credible.

Wildlife surveys that hold up in scientific and agency review

Your missions are executed by our in house crews of seasoned pilots, wildlife biologists, sensor operators, and data scientist. Using fixed wing aircraft and advanced remote sensing, our specialized team gets you the accurate data you deserve.

Why choose OAR?

Defensible results you can stand behind

High quality wildlife counts and habitat mapping. We use documented methods and quality control, so the work is ready for scientific and agency review.

Noninvasive fixed wing coverage

Surveys from altitude minimize disturbance while flying across vast habitats. Fixed wing operations support mission safety for crew and wildlife.

Integrated in house team

Seasoned pilots, wildlife biologists, and sensor operators plan, fly, and verify your mission. One team, one method, predictable schedules, and a single point of contact.

Here's how it works...

Step 01

Schedule a Consultation

We start with your specific scientific questions and define species, area, timing, and species and habitat specific protocols. This gives you a clear survey plan and schedule.

Sensor Operator Planning Wildlife Survey

Step 02

We Do The Work

Our in house team of experienced wildlife biologists, seasoned pilots, and sensor operators conducts noninvasive, fixed wing Aerial Infrared wildlife surveys with state of the art sensors, gathering precise data with minimal disturbance.

Step 03

Enjoy The Outcome

You receive high quality, defensible data products such as abundance counts and classifications and other wildlife survey insights that support species monitoring, land management, and long term conservation planning.
