The platform

Calibrated sensing. Clear decisions.

Accurate turf data depends on getting three things right: the sensor, the analysis, and the way it reaches your crew. AirLinks is built around all three — and designed to grow toward flying itself.

Hardware platform

Multispectral drones, calibrated for turf.

The eye — and an ordinary camera — only see the visible spectrum. Turf stress, nutrient issues, and disease show up first in near-infrared and red-edge light, weeks before they're visible on the ground. AirLinks flies drones with a dedicated multispectral sensor that captures those bands alongside high-resolution RGB in a single pass.

Accuracy is the whole game. Our sensing platform is radiometrically calibrated with an onboard light sensor and reflectance reference, so a reading taken today is genuinely comparable to one taken next month — the difference between pretty pictures and trustworthy trend data.

Built to be sensor-flexible

Our analysis is independent of any single aircraft. That keeps the platform resilient as drone hardware and regulations evolve, and lets us match the right compliant equipment to each course — including U.S.-made options where they're required.

  • RGB + multispectral in one flight
  • Near-infrared & red-edge bands
  • Radiometric calibration
  • Centimeter-level positioning
  • Full-course coverage per flight
  • Repeatable waypoint missions

One flight, many layers

Hover a layer to see it over the course.

The default view is an AI-generated RGB drone shot with fairway, rough, bunkers, green, water, brown turf stress, and weed patches. Hover a layer — or tap on mobile — to see that same pass turned into a product-action overlay.

Hover to preview a layer; click to pin it. On a phone, tap to switch layers.

The analysis

Three models, one job: point you to the right zone.

Raw imagery is a burden; decisions are the product. AirLinks turns every flight into targeted maintenance calls automatically.

Weed detection

Identifies weed pressure and outbreak extent by hole, so you can spot-treat the zones that need it instead of spraying whole fairways.

Grass-length & growth

Flags turf-height variation and growth anomalies — catching mowing inconsistency and stress before it shows up in play.

Runoff & pooling

Locates drainage failures and standing water after rain or irrigation, guiding aeration and scheduling before turf is damaged.

The dashboard

The whole course, on one screen.

Hydration maps, freeze alerts, weed-zone flags, and chemical-use logs live in a single view. Plan repeatable missions by hole, zone, or drainage path, and pull up any flight to compare against the last.

  • Hydration maps
  • Freeze alerts
  • Weed-zone flags
  • Chemical-use logs
  • Mission planning
  • Season-over-season trends

Where we're headed

Toward a course that scans itself.

Today, AirLinks flies your course as a managed service — you get the data, without buying hardware or piloting anything. That's the fastest way to see the value.

Our direction is a course that scans itself: a drone that lifts off from its own dock before dawn, maps every hole while the course is empty, and hands your team a prioritized problem list before the first crew clocks in. As autonomous flight rules mature, that's exactly where we're taking the platform.
