Sentera has introduced its Quad sensor in an integrated gimbal-stabilised package for DJI’s Inspire and Matrice UAS, the company announced on 7 August.
The Gimbaled Quad sensor features four fully-customisable and individually-filtered focal plane arrays. Its 'lock and go' technology provides simple, snap-in installation to the UAS and actively stabilises the optics to true nadir, enabling the capture of high-precision, low-distortion vegetative health data imagery.
Produced images are compatible with almost all standard stitching and GIS tools.
In standard configuration, the Gimbaled Quad sensor offers access to standard Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Green NDVI, Normalized Difference Red Edge (NDRE) and high-resolution colour data capture. Simultaneous collection of NDVI and NDRE data provides users with informative, accurate insights about crop health while streamlining operations.
As the dynamics of aerial combat rapidly evolve, Chinese scientists have engineered a sophisticated air separation drone model that can fragment into up to six drones, each capable of executing distinct battlefield roles and challenging the efficacy of current anti-drone defences such as the UK’s Dragonfire laser system.
Advancements in air defence technologies have begun to reshape aerial combat dynamics in the Middle East, as illustrated by recent events involving the Israeli Air Force and Hezbollah.
Both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war have been using UAS for effective low-cost attacks, as well as impactful web and social media footage. Thousands more have now been committed to Ukrainian forces.
The US Army has intentions to develop light, medium and heavy variants of the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) as part of the branche’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle family.
DroneSentry-X, a cross-vehicle compatible, automated 360° C-UAS detect and defeat device, can offer 360° awareness and protection using integrated sensors. According to its manufacturer, it is suitable for mobile operations, on-site surveillance and on-the-move missions.
Funded by the country’s former president, the new C-UAS systems will be sent to the frontline where they have already been tested against Russian invading forces.
