We measure precisely at all levels.

AIRMO builds its own instruments.

Our sensor suite spans from drone to orbit — drone-mounted TDLAS and SWIR systems and a LiDAR + SWIR satellite instrument designed for precision where others can't reach. Every sensor is developed in-house, validated, and proven in real-world commercial campaigns. Built to operate in conditions where other systems fail.

The AIRMO Instrument Suite

One instrument architecture adapted across all three platforms. This is unique in the industry: the same system that works on a DJI drone also works on an aircraft, and will work on a satellite. This enables cross-platform validation and a consistent data standard across all three layers.

AIRMO’s data processing pipeline is a three-step retrieval process

Scene reconstruction

Forward model including scattering and surface model generates atmospheric radiance at the sensor, accounting for aerosol and cloud effects

Instrument simulation

Convolution with spectral response function and noise degradation to produce realistic payload data

Inverse retrieval

Species volume mixing ratio (CH4, CO2) derived using full-physics radiative transfer model plus machine learning for plume detection and emission quantification

Methane Clouds scanned from above

Technology validation

Successful blind controlled release experiments at TotalEnergies test facility.
