    Flight #29 - Universal Drone Station

    Curt Lary from Hextronics talks about the universal drone-in-the-box. Having nailed the core requirements of a nest (the box), including enclosure, HVAC, opening and closing, charging, infrastructure, and command and control uplink, he could then configure it for a wide variety of drones. Scalability and cost-effectiveness are the key benefits, and the system is configurable for a wide range of UAVs. Have questions for the experts? Send your emails to info@rmus.ca.

    Flight #22 - Wildfire Prediction with Fire AI

    In this episode of Did you Bring the Batteries?  we discuss Fire AI and how this program can be used to help track forest fires quicker and more accurately by deploying drones; however, not until we discuss jumping out of perfectly good planes over raging fires, flying BVLOS in restricted airspace, and the way drones in general can help manage the unpredictability of forest fire season. Before we delve into Fire AI, we give you all the details, and our thoughts, on the recently released Mavic 3 Enterprise and Mavic 3 Thermal. We also had a quick on-air podcast planning session and decided our end-of-year event will be the second installment of the Blue sUAS round-up.
