Project Overview

Mira Intel is proud to collaborate with the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT), a historic industrial campus now reimagined as a forward looking hub for climate innovation, advanced manufacturing, and sustainable infrastructure. Our drone based inspections play a critical role in transforming BAT into a model for urban resilience.

This project integrates Mira Intel’s advanced drone technology equipped with high-resolution and infrared imaging to assess structural integrity, optimize maintenance planning, and support circular waste recovery initiatives across BAT’s expansive waterfront campus.

‍

Project Objectives

This project focuses on improving cleanliness, modernizing shelters, implementing sustainable practices, providing real-time information, and enhancing safety to create a more comfortable and efficient transit experience for commuters.

High-resolution imaging and AI-powered 3D models provide actionable data on structural health, identifying cracks, thermal leaks, and material degradation before they escalate into costly failures.

Improve material diversion by at least 50% through data-informed maintenance.

‍

Support educational and demo programming that showcases how aerial data can drive climate action.

Identify recoverable materials to improve waste diversion rates.

‍

Achieve 90%+ accuracy in structural assessments.

Support NYC’s climate targets, including Net Zero 2050.

Key benefits of the street lighting improvement initiative project

This project will enhance the overall public transport experience by improving cleanliness, accessibility, and environmental sustainability, while also boosting the city's aesthetic appeal and promoting public health.

Urban Climate Impact: Mira Intel helps BAT directly align with NYC’s Net Zero 2050 strategy by enabling infrastructure longevity, energy efficiency upgrades, and reduced emissions.

Real-Time Decision Support: Stakeholders receive live visuals, thermal data, and automated reports streamlining communication between engineering teams, facilities management, and climate partners.

Public-Private Innovation: As part of the BATWorks ecosystem, this project exemplifies how clean-tech can scale within public infrastructure offering a repeatable model for cities aiming to modernize responsibly.

Data-Driven Waste Recovery: By identifying reusable materials during inspections, we support significant landfill diversion, contributing to BAT’s sustainability and circular economy goals.

Rapid, Scalable Coverage: Our autonomous drones scan expansive industrial zones millions of square feet in just minutes, enabling fast, repeatable infrastructure assessments across the entire campus.

Conclusion

‍The Brooklyn Army Terminal exemplifies how legacy infrastructure can be reimagined through cutting-edge technology. Mira Intel remains committed to enabling smarter, more sustainable cities—one scan, one structure, and one insight at a time.
