UAV Solutions introduces Dragon View sensors
UAV Solutions has developed a new line of sensors for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) called Dragon View, the company announced on 24 October.
The sensors, which weigh approximately 1.75lbs, can be integrated into UAVs offered by UAV solutions or systems from other manufacturers, to provide day and thermal imagery, video recordings, object tracking and geolocation data.
The sensors are mechanically and digitally stabilised gimbals with electro-optical and infrared cameras. Operating at 24 watts, the low-power draw enables more efficient use of the battery system providing longer duration.
UAV Solutions developed the Dragon View range of sensors to meet the requirements of the law enforcement market. As well as being integrated into UAVs, the sensors can be mounted onto antenna towers and to other structures to provide ‘additional eyes’ for police organisations.
Bill Davidson, CEO, UAV Solutions, said: ‘Our goal was to develop a line of sensors that would assist the law enforcement community in various scenarios, such as search and rescue missions and accident scene investigations. Its ease of use and ability to be configurable to meet the specific customer application makes a Dragon View sensor the ideal investment for police departments.’
UAV Solutions’ range of UAVs includes the fixed wing Talon 120 and Talon 240 UAVs; and the multi-rotor line, the Phoenix 15 and Phoenix 30 quad rotor UAV and the Phoenix 60 hexacopter UAV.
