We draw on our years of aviation and engineering expertise to design versatile and customisable Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) solutions that revolutionise traditional operations. These UAS solutions provide real-time videos and photos to enable critical assessment, advanced troubleshooting and better decision-making. Manual work processes such as infrastructure and security inspection can thus be made safer, more convenient, more efficient and more effective.
We have conducted successful trials in public safety monitoring, perimeter security surveillance and even delivery services. We have ongoing collaborations with Wilhelmsen Ships Service to develop and test drone solutions for shore-to-ship parcel deliveries in Singapore, and with foodpanda to trial drone solutions for food delivery.
As the first in Singapore to be approved for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights, our very own DroNet is a drone-agnostic operating platform capable of integrating autonomous and multi-function UAS networks.
An end-to-end system designed to carry out specific tasks or services in an urban environment, DroNet can potentially assimilate small-scale operational networks into a unified drone city network to enhance urban living, security and convenience. It can be also tailored for military uses and applications.
Developed in close consultation with aviation regulators and industry partners, DroNet incorporates the latest smart technologies such as face recognition and visual imaging to meet existing and future uses of UAS in a robust and safe manner.
Fully autonomous, DroNet is equipped with enabling features that include detection and avoidance of obstacles, GPS-less navigation, precision landing, and real-time data analytics. This highly scalable solution, which can be safely deployed via the 4G network to cover remote locations, is capable of conducting diverse operations from deliveries to site inspections, making its potential use cases limitless.
For customers who want a one-stop turnkey solution, we provide a holistic solution comprising DroNet and our in-house developed drones that range from 5kg to 35kg.
Developed by our engineers, DroScan, a drone solution with smart analytics capability is the first drone solution authorised by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore for use in General Visual Inspection (GVI) during maintenance work on Singapore-registered aircraft.
DroScan uses drones to fly autonomously along planned routes around the aircraft fuselage to capture high definition images, thereby allowing indirect GVI to be conducted through live video feed and images. The same images can be fed through algorithms that detect and classify defects to assist the review process, with an inspection report generated to maintain a digital database. The system provides a repeatable inspection process to ensure consistent quality and reliability while reducing inspection time and risks of working at height.
DroScan is incorporated in our MRO work on Singapore-registered aircraft, and it will be available in more facilities across our global network.
Unlocking Drone Capabilities: Managing Water Bodies and more
We develop and explore unmanned technology to improve lives and the way we work, from using drones to deliver food to utilising them for building inspections. We have unlocked new applications for our drone system, DroNet, this time in environmental protection by using it to conduct real-time and accurate analysis of water bodies without collecting water samples.
