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 maximize data collection capabilities while reducing lifecycle costs.
Mario Spiegel, Head of Sales, Special Mission Aircraft at Diamond Aircraft, said:
"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."
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 efficiently operate across a wide range of environments.
Mikko Salonen, CEO of Field, commented:
"This investment renews our core airborne capabilities for the next decade. Reliable access to 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."
Aircraft deliveries are planned following completion of mission-system integration and acceptance activities. Entry into Field’s operations is planned for the first half of 2027.
The agreement further strengthens Diamond Aircraft's position in the special mission sector and highlights the growing demand for modern, efficient airborne survey platforms capable of supporting an increasingly diverse set of civil and governmental applications.
