UAV Mining Inspection in Ghana
2026-06-05
Customer Background
This Ghana customer operates in the traditional mining industry, which typically involves long cycles, high risks, and complex workflows. Like other mining sites, the customer carries out daily operations including preliminary exploration, designated extraction, post-mining processing, and finished product transportation, with each stage requiring real-time and accurate inspection and oversight to ensure personnel safety and the efficient utilization of mining resources. Given the importance of such real-time and detailed inspections, the customer sought a UAV system to optimize traditional mining workflows and improve operational efficiency across all production stages.

Project Requirements and Challenges
Wide Coverage
Due to the complex terrain and wide coverage of mining sites, manual mining inspections typically require longer operating time and often result in missing key areas.
High Safety Risks
To carry out traditional inspections, personnel must enter mine pits, steep slopes, or blasting zones, exposing them to hazards such as collapses, landslides, and toxic gas exposure. In addition, long working hours can easily lead to fatigue and reduced attention, further increasing the risk of safety accidents.
Inaccurate and Discontinuous Data
Traditional mining inspections rely heavily on manual records, resulting in fragmented and highly subjective data.
Slow Response
Traditional inspection processes lack precise positioning capabilities, making it difficult to provide timely rescue in the event of an emergency.
Our Solutions
Since the customer was new to UAV application and has quite limited UAV equipment, YANGDA provided a complete tailored drone system, including a fixed-wing UAV, gimbal camera, video transmission system, and ground control station.
● Sky Whale Max Hybrid VTOL
The Sky Whale Max Hybrid VTOL is our upgraded fixed-wing UAV platform. Featuring a 4800 mm wingspan and supporting a maximum takeoff weight of 72 kg, it is capable of carrying additional gimbal payloads. This hybrid VTOL adopts a dual power supply system combining electric and gasoline power, enabling a maximum flight endurance of up to 10 hours. Its extended flight range allows inspection coverage across most mining areas.

● Storm Eye-30IE-HTM50 Gimbal Camera
The Storm Eye series is one of YANGDA's flagship gimbal product lines, with the Storm Eye-30IE-HTM50 standing out in particular. This high-performance gimbal camera integrates three premium functions: a 1080P visible-light camera with 30× optical zoom, a high-definition infrared sensor for night inspections, and an LRF laser rangefinder for real-time distance measurement. In addition, it is equipped with AI-powered automatic detection and tracking capabilities. Together, these features enable real-time oversight of mining progress and help operators promptly identify potential hazards.

● N150 Video Transmission System
The N150 video transmission system enables data and video communication between the ground station and the UAV, with a transmission range of up to 150 km. Adopting automatic frequency hopping technology, our transmission system effectively minimizes channel interference and ensures low-latency data transmission. In addition, it is equipped with AES-256 level encryption, ensuring data integrity while safeguarding the security of sensitive operational assets.

● ROCK-II Ground Control Station
The ROCK-II ground control station is an industrial-grade dual-screen system designed for UAV operations. It can withstand temperatures of up to 60°C and features IP67-rated water resistance, supporting up to 4 hours of continuous operation. Even in remote environments such as mining sites, it enables reliable and efficient UAV control in real time.
