Diamond Aircraft has signed an agreement with Norwegian aerial survey and geospatial services provider Field Geospatial AS for the delivery of two DA62 MPP SurveyStar aircraft, marking the start of a new partnership focused on advanced airborne data acquisition and special mission operations.

The aircraft will be configured with Diamond’s SurveyStar mission solution and deployed across Field’s growing portfolio of airborne surveying, mapping, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, and geospatial intelligence projects. The acquisition represents a significant enhancement of Field’s operational fleet and will provide the company with greater mission flexibility, extended endurance, and the ability to carry advanced sensor payloads while maintaining low operating costs.

Built on the proven DA62 twin-engine platform, the DA62 MPP has established itself as a versatile airborne sensing platform capable of supporting a wide spectrum of survey and surveillance missions. Its combination of endurance, mission-system integration, cabin volume, and fuel efficiency has made it an increasingly attractive choice for operators seeking to maximise data collection capabilities while reducing lifecycle costs.

“Field represents exactly the type of forward-looking operator for which the DA62 MPP was designed. Their focus on delivering high-quality geospatial data and operational efficiency aligns perfectly with the strengths of our platform. We are proud that Field has selected the DA62 MPP SurveyStar and look forward to supporting their continued growth with aircraft that deliver both capability and economic value,” said Mario Spiegel, Head of Sales, Special Mission Aircraft at Diamond Aircraft.

The two aircraft will support Field’s strategy of renewing survey capacity while maintaining the responsiveness and reliability required by commercial and governmental customers. With the addition of the DA62 MPP SurveyStar, Field will be able to undertake longer missions, integrate multiple sensor types, and operate efficiently across a wide range of environments.

“This investment renews our core airborne capabilities for the next decade. Reliable access to our own aircraft capacity is central to our ability to deliver to our customers. The Diamonds give us a modern platform with substantially better fuel efficiency, lower operating costs and reduced maintenance requirements, while also strengthening our environmental performance,” said Mikko Salonen, CEO of Field.

Aircraft deliveries are planned following completion of mission-system integration and acceptance activities, with entry into Field’s operations planned for the first half of 2027.
