Jet Field Notes examines where and how Artec Jet can fit field capture work—through project conditions, control plans, QA gates, and required deliverables.

Application fit matrix
Use this as a planning index, then validate every route against the project specification and site risk plan.
| Decision | Construction | Facilities | Road corridors | Mining / underground |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Environment | Changing workface | Dense interiors and plant | Linear public right-of-way | Obstructed, low-light access |
| Deployment route | Walk or backpack loops | Walk, backpack, or robot | Vehicle or backpack segments | Backpack, robot, or vehicle |
| Control question | How will repeat visits align? | Which project coordinates govern? | Where will drift be checked? | How will closure be verified? |
| Output | Progress record / as-built support | Registered cloud / BIM input | Corridor surface / asset record | Mapping / volume input |
| Next guide → | Control to as-built | Plant capture plan | Topographic field plan | Mine mapping plan |
Deployment routes
Walk the changing site
Best fit: traversable interiors and workfaces.
Preflight: Where can loops close?
Constraint: access, occlusion, and operator safety.
Follow a corridor
Best fit: accessible roads and haul routes.
Preflight: Which segments need checks?
Constraint: traffic, speed, and mounting.
Separate crew from hazard
Best fit: remotely accessible plant or drifts.
Preflight: Can the platform keep its route?
Constraint: communications and payload integration.
Reach from above
Best fit: inaccessible exterior routes.
Preflight: What flight rules govern?
Constraint: aviation approval and integration.
