Seadrone has successfully passed the tests
MOSCOW, September 28. /TASS/. Russian specialists have developed and successfully tested a unique all-weather rescue drone Seadrone, which is able to land and take off from the water, as well as work in the Arctic region. This was reported to TASS in the press service of the developer company "Shooting from the air".
"The world has been developing rescue drones for a long time, but standard drones are often re-equipped for special tasks. Such drones have a number of restrictions on weather conditions, automatic execution of tasks, also without the possibility of landing, carrying out a flight task in strong wind gusts with sand and dust," the press service noted.
The first domestic rescue drone was tested in the Kara Sea, where exercises were conducted to rescue a person who fell overboard. In conditions of salt fog, strong wind and sub-zero temperatures, the Seadrone drone automatically detected a person and returned to the deck of the sea vessel.
During the tests in Dubai, the performance of the product and its components was tested under the influence of aggressive environmental factors, such as high air temperature (up to plus 55 degrees Celsius), high humidity (up to 80%), sea water and salt, dust and sand.
"To perform work in the Arctic latitudes, as well as in the countries of Africa and the Middle East, the drone is equipped with a fully sealed propeller group. Thus, it can withstand temperatures from minus 30 to plus 55 degrees Celsius without overheating and frostbite, " the company noted.
