DroneBase Autonomous Surveillance
Autonomous forest surveillance, without on-site personnel
DJI Dock 3 + FlytBase Enterprise + Dryad Networks' Silvanet sensor network. The drone runs scheduled AI patrols 24/7; IoT sensors detect pyrolysis gases before any flame appears. When an alarm comes in, the drone interrupts its patrol and heads to the coordinates in under 60 seconds for thermal verification.

Pre-Sizing Calculator
How many sensors for your territory?
Enter the area to protect and the territory characteristics: get a real-time approximate sizing of the Silvanet network and the Dock 3 aerial coverage. Formulas based on official Dryad guidelines (docs.dryad.app) — version 4.6.4.
Site parameters

50 ha10,000 ha (100 km²)
1 km² = 100 hectares. Typical Dryad pilot deployment: ~500 ha (5 km²).
Territory type
Dense WUI
0,7 / ha
High human activity, buildings, power lines · spacing 80-100 m
Mixed
0,25 / ha
Forest with sparse access, moderate human activity · spacing 200 m
Remote Forest
0,1 / ha
Deep forest, risk mainly from lightning · spacing 400-500 m
Terrain morphology
Hilly/mountainous terrain requires more Mesh Gateways to ensure line-of-sight between nodes.

- Response times > 30 minutes
Approximate estimate. This calculator provides an indicative pre-sizing. The final project requires a technical site survey (scouting), an RF propagation study and the use of the official Dryad Silvanet Planning Tool to optimize positioning on the real site map.
