BETA-UAS

BETA-UAS is an Indonesian maker of commercial drones for remote sensing tasks such as mapping, monitoring and inspection. The brand is operated by PT Bentara Tabang Nusantara, and the company is based in Katapang, Bandung Regency, West Java. It says its drones are designed to make field work faster and more productive across several industries, with support that includes diagnostics, repairs and upgrades.

Drones and custom builds

• IRIS: a drone designed for complex aerial mapping in rugged terrain, with a compact design for take-off and landing in tight spaces. It can be customised for mapping, surveillance, inspection and cargo.
• OMNIBE: a VTOL fixed-wing drone built for endurance and wide-area coverage, offered with a LiDAR configuration for survey work.
• Custom builds: the company says it designs and delivers custom drones to a customer's specification, with the blueprints included.

Service model

BETA-UAS offers each drone with a one-year guarantee. Clients can hire a drone and operator for a one-off job, subscribe monthly for ongoing maintenance and replacement, or take on a long-term project in which the company supplies the drone, the pilot and project management. The site cites a project in which Balai Teknik Sabo, under the Ministry of Public Works, used OMNIBE LiDAR for survey, modelling and disaster mitigation. It also describes a cattle monitoring demonstration with OMNIBE in the Northern Territory of Australia.
