Multi-Sensor Correlation
The platform's key differentiator is correlating signals across sensors:
┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐
│ Visual │ │ Thermal │ │ Methane │
│ Detection │ │ Anomaly │ │ Reading │
└──────┬──────┘ └──────┬──────┘ └──────┬──────┘

Correlation Benefits
| Single Sensor | Issue | Correlated Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Methane only | Wind causes 300% error | + Visual confirms source location |
| Thermal only | Sun creates false positives | + Visual context filters noise |
| Visual only | Cannot confirm substance | + Methane + thermal identifies gas |
| GPR only | Abstract data | + Geospatial links to assets |
Data Pipeline
All sensor data flows through unified ingestion:
- FlightHub 2 API - Mission data, flight logs
- Media Storage - Images, video, sensor recordings
- Geospatial Layer - GPS correlation, digital twin
- Time-Series - Sensor telemetry, readings
- Event Store - Detection events, alerts
