The long-range V25 drone inspects railroad tracks, overland power grids, oil and gas pipelines, maps terrain, and searches vast areas for missing persons. With a flight time of up to 3 hours this electric-powered drone is ideal for long-distance #transport, #surveying, #monitoring and #inspection. A diesel-electric option extends flight time up to 8 hours. Thanks to its #VTOL capabilities, the V25 requires only a 5 x 5 meter space to take off and land. The V25 has a maximum takeoff mass of 25 kg, carries up to 8 kg payload and reaches speeds of 110 km/h. Safety features include a redundant power supply, weatherproof design, wind stability up to 12 m/s, and a safety parachute. The V25's open modular architecture, fully integrated ROS 2, secure 3G/4G data link, and integration with HHLA Sky’s Integrated Control Center make it a top-tier choice for advanced operations. Engineered in Germany, the V25 drone combines innovative technology with unparalleled reliability. Want to learn more? Contact us today. Please share this post, so your network can see it as well.

Europe is home to over 1.2 million river barriers, including dams, weirs, and other structures, with more than 150,000 considered obsolete, significantly increasing safety risks due to aging infrastructure, according to Dam Removal Europe. These outdated barriers pose substantial threats to communities, ecosystems, and economic activities, especially when storms hit and flooding occurs. Flooding is the most significant natural hazard in the European Union (EU). It poses considerable risks to #people, #infrastructure, and #assets, especially in cities. The EU Floods Directive (2007/60/EG), issued in October 2007, aims to reduce and manage flood risks, protecting human health, the environment, cultural heritage, and economic activities. As urban areas grow and concentrate populations and valuable assets, the vulnerability to floods intensifies. Urban infrastructure, such as #power supplies, communication networks, water systems, and transportation, is critical for economic continuity and rapid recovery after flood events. The interconnectedness of these systems makes them particularly susceptible to disruption, highlighting the urgent need for proactive flood #risk management. #Drones are playing an increasingly vital role in monitoring and inspecting rivers and dams, enhancing efforts to mitigate flood risks. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, thermal sensors, and LiDAR technology, drones can quickly survey large areas, identify structural weaknesses, and assess damage following extreme weather events. They provide real-time data, allowing for early detection of issues like erosion, cracks, or blockages that could lead to dam failures or increased flood risk. Drones also support the planning and execution of dam removal projects by offering precise mapping and monitoring capabilities. This technology enables more efficient inspections without the need for human entry into hazardous zones, reducing the risk to inspectors while providing valuable data that informs maintenance and restoration strategies. By integrating drones into river management practices, authorities can better protect communities, enhance environmental health, and support the sustainable management of Europe’s waterways. By the way: Automation increases the efficiency of drone inspection, mapping and monitoring. HHLA Sky’s Integrated Control Center automates drone operations and makes them scalable, enabling authorities to better provide aerial intelligence for acute disaster management and proactive civil protection.

#RiskBalanced #Attended #Automation: What does this mean for #robotics with the Integrated Control Center (ICC)?   In many industries, automation runs “unattended”, requiring human intervention only during malfunctions. However, #DroneOperations link process automation with aviation law, which emphasizes human supervision. Attended automation is key in drone operations.   Human in Command:   We adhere to the principle of keeping a human in command. While the human remains the greatest uncertainty component in aviation, the ICC handle routine tasks, allowing the Pilot in Command to focus on critical decisions with confidence.   Balancing Automation and Human Supervision:   We carefully determine where to apply "unattended" vs. "attended" automation based on operational risks. This approach enhances safety and optimizes efficiency by balancing human expertise with automated precision, ensuring compliance with legal requirements.   The Benefits:   By integrating attended automation in this way, we:   ✅ Keep human experts at the heart of decision-making ✅ Increase efficiency by automating repetitive and rule-based tasks ✅ Mitigate risks by skillfully allocating tasks between humans and machines   This strategy ensures efficient automation while maintaining safety and reliability, allowing experts to focus on their strengths.

Drones are helping investigators determine why parts of #Dresden's Carola #Bridge collapsed into the River Elbe. The bridge connects Dresden's baroque Old Town with other parts of the city. Benefits of this drone deployment in #infrastructure #inspections include: #Drones keeps investigators out of the danger zone and provide real-time data for precise damage evaluation, as well as survey the collapse site. This results in: ❇️ Enhanced situational awareness ❇️ Improved data accuracy for damage assessment ❇️ Reduced manpower requirements ❇️ Faster response times Measures for site securing and damage repair can be initiated much more quickly. The Carola Bridge is one of Dresden's main arteries across the River Elbe. When the bridge section collapsed, it also disrupted pipes that supply district heating to the city. These drone operations support authorities and engineers to act swiftly and prudently.
