It allows you to receive and process information from the surface of our planet in real time.
The Ukrainian company Culver Aviation presented an innovative Earth tracking system called Menatir. The technology was presented as part of the international Commercial UAV Expo 2022 exhibition in Las Vegas, Channel 24 reports.
It is noted that the system is fully automated through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with vertical launch and landing. On a single charge, an unmanned aircraft can fly up to 45 km in one direction with the possibility of returning.
The base station contains up to six of these drones, each of which can be equipped with one of the following types of payload:
-
video camera;
-
video camera with thermal imager;
-
digital cameras;
-
multispectral camera;
-
echo sensor;
-
any custom equipment that meets the given dimensions and weight.
So it is possible to comprehensively observe any objects from the air. The system will be useful in the work of special services:
-
firefighters,
-
road sections,
-
environmental services,
-
infrastructure facilities and services.
It only requires a specialist from anywhere in the world to manage it.
“Our solution has no analogues in terms of the level of automation and scalability. It is a new approach to working with UAVs and data. Businesses and government structures will continue to receive and process information in automatic mode with minimal human involvement and make the right management decisions. With Menatir, it is about 30% cheaper than traditional unmanned systems and helicopters,” said Culver Aviation CEO and project author Alexander Danilenko.
Note that Menatir is a network of base stations in the form of standard containers with unmanned aerial vehicles placed inside. Containers protect aircraft, ensure their launch, landing, mission, charging and transmission of collected data. All this happens automatically.
Recall that Arianespace successfully launched the Ariane 5 launch vehicle from the Kourou cosmodrome in French Guiana, which launched the largest satellite of the satellite operator Eutelsat into geostationary orbit.
