Tekever unveils new swarm-controlling UAS
Tekever has manufactured the AR3, AR4 and AR5 UAS with all systems sharing common electronics and software architecture, which has enabled the reuse of ground segment elements within the new ARX UAS.
RUAS, Bangor Uni team for Wales mapping project
RUAS has partnered with Bangor University to work on a new project to map artificial and natural substrates at coastal locations in Wales.
Bangor University is a partner in the Ecostructure project, a consortium led by Aberystwyth University. The project aims to create awareness of eco-engineering solutions for the challenge of coastal adaptation to climate change.
Under the partnership, RUAS will help Bangor conduct a range of aerial mapping surveys at coastal locations in Wales where there is an artificial hard substrate present, such as sea defences or coastal structures. Using both fixed-wing and multirotor UAS, the project will be timed to make the most of near-Spring low-tides and to ensure maximum visibility of all coastal structures.
Andrew Davies from the School of Ocean Sciences at Bangor University said: 'Hard coastal defence structures are becoming commonplace on our coastlines due to rising seas and increasing storminess. The Ecostructure project is focused on raising awareness of eco-engineering solutions, and a first step is developing comprehensive maps and models of structures throughout the Irish Sea.'
