Citizen protection services such as firefighters, coast guards, and other state forces tend to update and modernize their equipment for the functions they perform. But usually, their staff is not qualified or has no time to perform complex operations with drones. Therefore, systems capable of performing search and rescue missions with drones in one click […]
Mapping is not an exclusive discipline of surveyors. Geographic Information Systems, also called GIS, are being exploited by photometrists, civil engineers, geographers, and cartographers. Thanks to the use of UAVs for GIS techniques, results obtained are far superior to those obtained with traditional tools. Professionals who use UAVs to develop GIS techniques offer a […]
Nowadays, flight control systems (FCS) and autopilots strongly rely on GPS signals. Therefore, GPS-denied navigation is one of the recursive objectives most pursued by modern autonomous navigation to increase flight safety. Having accurate positioning is essential to achieving autonomous flight, but GPS sensors are not always infallible. In some cases, with the loss of […]
The development of “Sense & Avoid” technology is of great interest in the UAS sector. UAS that incorporate this kind of system are able to avoid static or moving obstacles during the flight, reducing the risk of collision and improving their reliability and safety. For this reason, the incorporation of modern devices into avionics systems […]
Embention is one of the pioneering companies in the field of unmanned vehicles, and from its beginnings it has not stopped growing; now it continues with the international expansion of its products thanks to new agreements with representatives in different parts of the world. This company is closely linked to the world of drones, developing […]
Nowadays, police forces are already being prepared to deploy their own air force squadrons composed of drones. These new technologies can help to deal with crime and perform various additional operations. On a continuous improvement, drones are becoming essential tools to help the modernization of security forces, including police. In order to protect public […]
One of the most sought objectives in the field of UAVs is the maximization of flight endurance. This is one of the strongest points in the Penguin aircraft. Penguin UAV achieved an endurance record of 54.5 hours of flight without landing. It amply broke previous records, bearing temperatures above 30 ºC and wind gusts exceeding […]
Nowadays, GPS positioning is a crucial element for drone control. UAVs install GPS sensors with which they accurately calculate drone position. It makes it possible to execute predefined flight missions or make improvised landings and autonomous maneuvers, such as “Go Home,” only by pressing a button on the joystick or activated by a pre-programmed action. […]
