Unmanned Systems

The need for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, sometimes referred to as Unmanned Aerial Systems or UAS) is dramatically increasing for precision agriculture, search and rescue, fire fighting, and a wide variety of other applications. These lightweight, programmable aircraft are deployed without a human pilot on board.

With mobile power technology developed by Alta Devices, the range and flight duration of UAVs has been greatly increased by supplying additional power without adding significant weight or impact to aerodynamics.

Advantages/Features

Integration can be done on curved surfaces and limited areas
