UAVOS has developed a new VTOL UAS, the UVH-25EL, designed for data capturing applications using Light Distance and Ranging (LiDAR).
The fully automatic, compact and lightweight UVH -25EL is equipped with an electric engine unit and has a flight endurance of up to 1.5hrs when carrying a payload of up to 5kg.
The company plans to partner with leading LiDAR manufacturers to provide the users with an all-in-one 3D mapping solution. The system can integrate high resolution cameras for precise, efficient and cost-effective surveying and 3D mapping.
The UVH-25EL has a maximum take-off weight of 25kg, with a chassis designed to fit the LiDAR installation. The aircraft’s rechargeable battery module is located inside the helicopter’s bearing frame, which protects it from damage. The UAS is also equipped with a radio altimeter.
Aliaksei Stratsilatau, CEO, UAVOS, said: ‘The UVH-25EL is truly an advanced UAV for serious geomatics professionals in the construction, land development, engineering and geomatics trades.
‘The partnerships with developers of LiDAR systems will allow us to complement our UVH-25EL unmanned helicopter offer with a coverage of aerial photography and 3D elevation data, as well as more specialist capture including thermal surveys, LiDAR.’
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.
