"Při příležitosti ekonomického fóra Global Fortune Forum v Číně se uskutečnila úžasná světelná show.
Do vzduchu vzlétlo celkem 1 180 dronů, které byly světelně upraveny. Choreografie trvala 9 minut a nebylo to vůbec snadné. Některé přístroje se v od sebe v letu míjely o pouhé centimetry, což potvrzuje snadnou ovladatelnost a přesnost, díky které se drony využívají i v armádě....".

"The Mavic Air is said to be half the size of the Mavic Pro
DJI has unveiled the Mavic Air drone, a successor to its top-selling Mavic Pro that is smaller, lighter and faster as well as promising more advanced obstacle-avoidance tech.
There are, however, trade-offs: it has a shorter flight time and cannot travel as far from its operator.
DJI is the top-selling consumer drone-maker and recently saw a major rival, GoPro, drop out of the market.
That is $200/£330 less than the Pro's base model, which remains on sale.
DJI compared the size of the Mavic Air to that of a smartphone
While that may make it more attractive to new buyers, one film-maker questioned whether the firm ad done enough to convince existing users to upgrade.
"For it to attract current Mavic Pro owners, it will need to offer improved video quality to tempt them as they would already be invested in multiple spare batteries, which won't be compatible with this new model, as is the case for every new model that DJI brings out," Philip Bloom told the BBC.
DJI said it had designed a new ventilation system to keep the drone's components cool
Both the Air and the Pro film 4K video at up to 30 frames per second.
But the Air's peak image capture rate is 100 Megabits per second (Mbps), which in theory should trump the quality that the Pro's 60Mbps delivers.
In addition, DJI said the new model can capture slower-motion video at 1080p high definition resolution, and also has an improved anti-shake gimbal mechanism to keep footage smooth.
DJI said that the Mavic Pro had been its bestselling model to date
The other key differences are: ."... for cont. please visit the url:

Cituji z úvodu článku:
"Společnost Eyedea se rozhodla vystoupit z řady a vymyslela rovnou hybridní zařízení, které si můžete podle vlastní libosti přizpůsobit. Zařízení s názvem PITTA je v základu akční kamerkou a až přestavba z něj dělá například létající dron. Momentálně probíhající crowdfundingová kampaň na Kickstarteru je téměř u svého cíle, takže o další budoucnosti produktu teď rozhodne samotný výrobce.
Kulovitá základna o velikosti 6,7 palce váží 200 gramů a modulární konstrukce dovoluje různorodé přizpůsobení přes magnetické části. Dodávaná kolébka slouží k dobíjení baterie, která vydrží více než 100 minut nahrávání. Ovšem při létání se zkracuje doba natáčení na necelých 15 minut při plném nabití. Integrovaný snímač má maximální rozlišení 13 megapixelů a umí natáčet videa až ve 4K kvalitě při 30 snímcích za sekundu...........". Pokračování na výše uvedené adrese.

Plzeň - DronFest bude v červnu, přípravy začaly
I v letošním roce se mohou Plzeňané a turisté těšit na DronFest, jedinečný festival bezpilotního létání, který nemá v České republice obdoby. V pořadí již třetí ročník této akce se uskuteční 1. a 2. června 2018 v areálu DEPO2015 v Plzni. Přípravy festivalu zaberou organizátorům několik měsíců, práce jsou tak již v plném proudu. Na návštěvníky čeká nabitý program plný oblíbených stanovišť i novinek.
„Moc si vážíme toho, že se DronFest dostal minulý rok mezi největší akce svého druhu na světě a samozřejmě chceme tomuto závazku dostát i do budoucna. I letos se tak návštěvníci mohou těšit na atraktivní show, kdy nebudou chybět letecké ukázky, veletrh dronů, přednášky na nejrůznější témata z oblasti bezpilotního leteckého průmyslu a velkým lákadlem budou určitě i populární závody v FPV létání, při kterých se do vzduchu vznesou malé, ale velmi rychlé závodní drony. Samozřejmě při tvorbě programu nezapomínáme ani na nejmenší návštěvníky, akce je tak vhodná nejen pro technické nadšence, ale i pro rodiny s dětmi,“ řekl Luděk Šantora, ředitel Správy informačních technologií města Plzně, městské organizace, jež festival připravuje.
Jednotlivá stanoviště DronFestu zaberou celý areál DEPO2015 a lidé se dostanou i do sídla bývalé Reo Depony v Cukrovarské ulici, kde vznikla první městská FPV Aréna v republice. Podle technického náměstka primátora Pavla Šindeláře je DronFest dalším z důležitých bodů naplnění vize města Plzně, tedy stát se tuzemskou jedničkou v oblasti bezpilotního leteckého průmyslu. „V západočeské metropoli se podařilo vytvořit velmi kvalitní zázemí pro tyto technologie, které mají velkou budoucnost. Naším cílem je přiblížit tuto oblast široké veřejnosti, představit, jaký má potenciál, ale třeba i v diskuzi s odborníky upozornit na možná rizika. Chceme návštěvníkům nabídnout na jednom místě atraktivní podívanou, zábavu a zároveň užitečné informace, ke kterým by se jinak jen těžko dostávali – to vše je DronFest,“ řekl Pavel Šindelář.

A drone was just used to rescue swimmers
A drone was just used to rescue swimmers, and it recorded the whole event.

"Lifeguards used a drone to rescue two teenagers from rough seas off the northern coast of New South Wales in Australia today (Jan. 18).
The lifeguards happened to be piloting the new technology when they received a distress signal and deployed a drone to search for the struggling swimmers. Footage relayed from the drone camera (which can be viewed here) caught two people in distress near Lennox Head in the northern coastline of the state. The video shows the drone releasing a flotation device, which the two teenagers swam toward and clung onto as they are pounded by waves.

Dron, který se jen tak něčeho nelekne - Aeryon SkyRanger

"Aeryon SkyRanger je bezpilotní prostředek ověřený praxí záchranářů i na bojišti. Letos v květnu například pomáhal při tornádu v Oklahomě. Shromažďoval videa řádění tornáda, v reálném čase je přenášel, a přispěl tak rychlému a bezpečnému řešení krizové situace.
- Ve světě je pravidelně využíván v ostrém nasazení při zásazích bezpečnostních a záchranných složek, ale i pro komerční účely. Byl vyvinut týmem kanadských specialistů s dlouhodobou praxí tak, aby dokázal plnit svou funkci i ve velmi náročných klimatických a povětrnostních podmínkách, čímž se od konkurenčních dronů často velmi výrazně liší.
Mimořádná odolnost
SkyRanger je navržen tak, aby zachoval svou funkčnost i za velmi náročných klimatických a povětrnostních podmínek. Velmi důležitým parametrem je u dronů výdrž baterie – v případě SkyRangeru výrobce garantuje fungování po dobu až 50 minut s plným zatížením, a to při teplotách v rozmezí –30 až +50 °C. Přístroj dokáže létat při větru 65 km/hod v nárazech dokonce až 90 km/hod, přitom většina konkurence má velké problémy už při větru kolem 30–40 km/hod, což je podle statistik běžná hodnota v našich klimatických podmínkách.

Dron Aeryon SkyRanger v akci
"Přístup společnosti Aeryon ke správě obsahu je zcela jedinečný. Ne všechny dronem pořízené snímky jsou stejně důležité, a proto se nový Media Management zaměřuje především na prioritizaci – stanovení důležitosti, respektive urgentnosti sbíraných obrazových dat. „Jako příklad lze uvést situaci, kdy jednotky rychlého nasazení vyžadují okamžité předání nějaké informace – jedné fotografie, která má pomoci k identifikaci podezřelého či poznávací značky,“vysvětluje Andrej Hronec ze společnosti Audiopro, která značku Aeryon v České republice zastupuje. „Na druhém konci spektra uplatnění této služby jsou například pátrací a záchranné akce – operace s delším časovým horizontem, které ovšem pracují s vyšším objemem dat.“

"When DJI announced the Spark back in May last year, we thought the move cemented the Chinese manufacturer as the leader in every price bracket. But we were probably too hasty with that assumption. There are countless drones and manufacturers which come into the ‘toy’ category and cost much less than the $500 Spark. Bad news for them today though, as DJI has just launched its very own budget drone: The $99 Tello.
DJI’s $99 obstacle avoiding drone
At least that’s the headline. In fact, the drone has been developed and manufactured by Shenzhen startup Ryze Tech. It will be sold on the DJI website and looks uncannily like a smaller brother of the Spark. The Tello has also been created with the help of DJI and another industry giant, Intel, using technology from both to make this a budget drone capable of much more than its low-budget competitors.
Introducing the DJI Tello
We’re usually very wary of drones that cost under $100. You tend to get what you pay for in this industry, after all. But DJI and Intel don’t get involved with products unless they know it will make an impact, so it’s worth taking a closer look at Tello.
What you get for $99…".

Výběr z textu článku:
"Drones are going to see significant new capabilities in 2018. The use of multiple high-functioning cameras as well as upgraded Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) will enhance navigational acumen far beyond that of today’s drone models. This, combined with ultra-fast charging and longer-lasting batteries, means the drones of 2018 will have far greater range and performance flexibility.
Expect to see more and more sectors incorporating drones into their operations this year as a result. Here are three areas that should be especially interesting to watch:
1. Drone-enabled big data
"Drones offer a vast, bird’s eye view for collecting data, which can contribute enormously to diverse areas such as weather, traffic flow, and even disaster forecasting. A fleet of drones can collect and analyze road conditions in real-time, amassing data that can help alleviate gridlock. And, unlike traffic cameras, drones have the flexibility to observe from numerous angles and can be sent swiftly to flashpoints, making them ideal for monitoring our roadways......
2. Unmanned flying taxis
"It won’t quite be the Jetsons, but in 2018, several companies will be competing to bring us the flying car/drone, also known as the AAV (Autonomous Aerial Vehicle). The concept first emerged with proof of concept prototypes from major players such as Ehang, whose eco-friendly AAVs aim to serving as autonomous personal transportation devices. The company has raised over $50 million in funding.
- Another competitor is Volocopter a German company aiming to help cities resolve growing mobility issues. Featuring a two-seated drone with 18 rotors, Volocopter received $30 million in funding from Daimler and was also chosen to lead Dubai’s revolutionary aerial shuttle service, with testing already taking place.......
3. Home surveillance via drone
"Home security cameras could soon become a thing of the past with the rise of autonomous, multi-sensor drones. These drones will self-activate upon detecting noise or suspicious movement and fly inside or around a property until the threat is found and thwarted – with the homeowner watching from a safe distance. Drones are already used for surveillance in large industrial facilities, but drone-based home surveillance systems will likely take wing in 2018.......
- Technologies such as AI, computer vision, and energy storage will also continue to develop exponentially in 2018."

DJI Tello - The smartest toy drone you’ll ever fly
By Kevin Lee
Článek najdete na adrese:http://www.techradar.com/reviews/dji-tello
"OUR EARLY VERDICT
Even from our brief time with the DJI Tello, we can tell its going to be one of the best drones of 2018 with a ton of smarts and surprisingly ample performance for its small size.
FOR
• Incredibly affordable and fun
• Phone-based POV mode
• Motion-controlled flying still makes you feel like a Jedi
AGAINST
• Light enough to be carried away by a breeze
• Not designed to be flown outside
There’s never a shortage of drones at CES 2018 these days, but if you look past all the hexacopter and quadcoptors designed for extreme performance, DJI unveiled something uniquely simple with the DJI Tello. Unlike the company’s previous products, the $99 (£99, AU$169) DJI Tello is more of a tiny flying toy to help kids and starting filers into the air.
On top of that, the Tello is bringing some unique features not seen on a DJI drone before including mid-air flips, livestreaming and the ability to program your airframe. Furthermore, the drone is packing some smart tech courtesy of Intel to make it safe to fly safely and easily indoors.......
DJI is helping provide flight stabilization technology and selling the tiny flier under its brand and on its online store........
Early verdict
It’s easy to write off the Tello as a $99 (£99, AU$169) toy drone, but it brings some serious performance to the world of tiny drones. With 13-minutes of flight time and all the motion based controls, it’s a much more accessible than just buying another cheap toy drone you’ll crash land within minutes of your first flight.
The Tello isn’t just DJI’s smallest and cheapest drone, it’s also their most fun flier yet. .....".

"Intel has long been proud of its drone-based light shows — including airing a (pre-taped) halftime show at the last Super Bowl. Today at its CES keynote, the company introduced a new version of those drones, called “Shooting Star Mini.” The innovation here? They’re tiny and totally safe to fly indoors, above the heads of the audience. They are interesting because they can locate themselves in space without the need for GPS.
- Intel capped its keynote with a light show that was impressive (at least if you were in the arena to get the full effect of the tiny drones flying in 3D space). The song they danced to was Kygo’s “Stargazing,” of course.
- Want to buy one? Sorry, you can’t. “This is not the type of drone you can buy in the store,” says CEO Brian Krzanich. Even though these little drones seem like they might be the perfect in-house drone toy, that’s not what Intel intends for them. Instead, they’re just here for these kinds of light shows. You preprogram a routine into the system and then set a swarm of them out into the air rather than control each individual one directly. The Shooting Star Mini drones then go out and follow the choreography. Intel says a single pilot can fly up to 100 of them at once.
- We don’t know if Intel intends to allow people go out and purchase 100 of these things anytime soon, but we do know that they’re likely to be another mainstay in its presentations going forward......".

"Professional interest in drones began to solidify in 2017. Part 107 landed the year before and it jumpstarted a wave of industry confidence that led commercial operators and business owners to produce some of the most exciting UAV initiatives since the drone revolution began. The future looks bright for 2018, but don’t expect the ground to stand still. We expect a lot of big changes in 2018 and here are just a few of them:
- Near real-time flight approvals
The national beta test of LAANC (the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability), will foster more innovations and commercial flights with near real-time, automatic approval to fly in controlled airspace below approved altitudes. If the beta test is successful in the 10 test regions, a full rollout will eliminate a point of anxiety for legitimate commercial pilots seeking to permission to fly in controlled airspace.
- Increased use in public safety and disaster relief
Part 107 cleared the road for emergency services, law enforcement, and fire departments to start investing seriously in drone programs in 2017. This trend is bound to continue as clear use cases have been established where drones can save and protect lives or rapidly assess accident and crime scenes. Notably, the Menlo Park Fire District has worked with both DJI and Intel on initiatives to train firemen in the use of drones and build hardware suited for the unique requirements of firefighting. In the arena of disaster and emergency response, drones proved their utility in the Hurricane Harvey, Irma, and Maria relief efforts. 2017 showed drones power to save lives, and hopefully will save more in 2018.......".

"In recent years, engineers have worked to shrink drone technology, building flying prototypes that are the size of a bumblebee and loaded with even tinier sensors and cameras. Thus far, they have managed to miniaturize almost every part of a drone, except for the brains of the entire operation — the computer chip.
- Standard computer chips for quadcoptors and other similarly sized drones process an enormous amount of streaming data from cameras and sensors, and interpret that data on the fly to autonomously direct a drone’s pitch, speed, and trajectory. To do so, these computers use between 10 and 30 watts of power, supplied by batteries that would weigh down a much smaller, bee-sized drone.
- Now, engineers at MIT have taken a first step in designing a computer chip that uses a fraction of the power of larger drone computers and is tailored for a drone as small as a bottlecap. They will present a new methodology and design, which they call “Navion,” at the Robotics: Science and Systems conference, held this week at MIT.
- The team, led by Sertac Karaman, the Class of 1948 Career Development Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT, and Vivienne Sze, an associate professor in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, developed a low-power algorithm, in tandem with pared-down hardware, to create a specialized computer chip."

Cituji z úvodu:
- Like many kids, Amir Hirsch ’06, SM ’07 grew up playing with LEGOs.
- It lets you tinker around with LEGOs, come up with a design you like, and see it fly,” Hirsch says.
- In addition to the LEGOs, Flybrix kits come with all the parts necessary to build a drone and make it fly, including motors, a fully-routed Arduino board, and a lithium polymer battery.
- Learning opportunities abound. Builders gain insight into the: aerodynamics of the drone’s fan, the electromechanics necessary to control a motor, and flight basics including balance and feedback. Hirsch, who double-majored in mathematics and electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) for his bachelor's and earned a master's in EECS, says such concepts become much clearer when actually flying a drone built by hand.
- “You really feel the feedback system trying to keep it stable,” he says.
- But what goes up must come down. The average Flybrix drone can stay up for five minutes.
- “Most of the time when I’m flying something, people ask that I crash it into the wall,” said Hirsch who earned his degrees in electrical engineering and computer science as well as mathematics. “Because they all want to see it shatter into a lot of pieces..........................”

Cituji z úvodu:
- Like many kids, Amir Hirsch ’06, SM ’07 grew up playing with LEGOs.
- It lets you tinker around with LEGOs, come up with a design you like, and see it fly,” Hirsch says.
- In addition to the LEGOs, Flybrix kits come with all the parts necessary to build a drone and make it fly, including motors, a fully-routed Arduino board, and a lithium polymer battery.
- Learning opportunities abound. Builders gain insight into the: aerodynamics of the drone’s fan, the electromechanics necessary to control a motor, and flight basics including balance and feedback. Hirsch, who double-majored in mathematics and electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) for his bachelor's and earned a master's in EECS, says such concepts become much clearer when actually flying a drone built by hand.
- “You really feel the feedback system trying to keep it stable,” he says.
- But what goes up must come down. The average Flybrix drone can stay up for five minutes.
- “Most of the time when I’m flying something, people ask that I crash it into the wall,” said Hirsch who earned his degrees in electrical engineering and computer science as well as mathematics. “Because they all want to see it shatter into a lot of pieces..........................”

Cituji z úvodní části textu:
"Zálohování videí a fotozáběrů z dronu je pro fotografy a kameramany zásadní, některé z nich jsou totiž často neopakovatelné. S ohledem na specifické potřeby majitelů dronů společnosti Seagate a DJI spojily síly a výsledkem jejich spolupráce je disk Fly Drive.
- Seagate Technology, přední světový výrobce datových úložišť, uvede ve spolupráci s DJI, expertem v oblasti dronové technologie, na český a slovenský trh externí disk DJI Fly Drive. Tento 2TB model dokáže pojmout až 60 hodin leteckých záběrů v rozlišení 4K. Jeho předností je integrovaný slot na microSD karty. Díky tomu mohou profesionálové přímo na místě natáčení sledovat své záběry z dronu a zároveň je třeba i rychle zálohovat. Odpadá tím nutnost používat několik paměťových karet a jejich čteček. Novinku chrání před náhodnými pády a nárazy v terénu pryžový kryt. Disk bude v České republice a ve Slovesné republice v prodeji od října za cenu 3890 Kč, resp. 149 euro s DPH.

- Firebird FPV.
- HD Racer.
Cituji vybranou část článku:
"Yuneec has announced three new drones at CES 2018 — a follow-up to the impressive Typhoon H that made its debut two years ago, and two first entries into new categories for the company.
- The Typhoon H Plus is the second generation of Yuneec’s drone aimed at pro photographers and videographers. It has a larger six-rotor hex airframe and produces 40 percent less noise, with Yuneec claiming that it’s capable of stable flight in winds of up to 30mph.
- The Typhoon H Plus’s camera is comprised of a one-inch 20-megapixel sensor and a “high-aperture” lens, and it can shoot 4K video at 60fps. Low-light performance in particular is also said to have been improved.
- Like the previous Typhoon H, the Plus uses Intel RealSense technology for collision detection and avoidance. The drone’s controller is based on Android and has a 7-inch 720p display. The Typhoon H Plus will be out in the first half of 2018 for $1,799.99, the same price as its predecessor."

"Intel did not disappoint the audience at CES 2018. ...But for the drone industry, there was a clear highlight: the first ever North American demonstration of the Volocopter. The Volocopter is the German-based passenger drone that has made history as the world’s first drone taxi, implemented in Dubai last summer. Powered by Intel technology, the Volocopter Is “the first fully electric, vertical take-off and landing aircraft, designed for passenger transport,” says Intel...... “ The Intel flight control technology analyzes environmental data with highly redundant sensors and is able to compensate for certain flight malfunctions. It can also accommodate for certain wind gusts and shifts in the center of gravity to help stabilize the position of the aircraft.”
"Seeing the aircraft lift on on stage brought greater realism to the reports that Volocopter has flown over 400 times in Germany and overseas – and with Dubai’s drone taxi project to serve as proof of concept, the idea no longer seems beyond the realm of possibility."

Drones at CES Unveiled 2018 - 3 vystavovatelé
Drones at CES Unveiled 2018 — GDU, Drone Interactive, and Eyesee show their latest
Autor Stephen Hall publikoval na portálu "dronedj" článek charakterizující účast 3 firem zaměřených na drony. V závěru upozorňuje na to, že mimo oddělení "Unweiled", kde vystavovaly 3 popisované firmy, mohou být další.

https://dronedj.com/2018/01/07/drones-at-ces-unveiled-2018-gdu-drone-interactive-and-eyesee-show-their-latest/
a) GDU
"GDU is here at CES unveiled showing off their latest GDU O2 drone. The drone was actually announced back at InterDrone in September, but GDU says that it’s finally going to start shipping next week. We’ll hopefully get a chance to see this drone in action at GDU’s booth this week and get some footage. It’s basically the same concept as the DJI Mavic, but GDU says it was actually first to the foldable drone concept.
GDU, which previously went by the name ProDrone, launched its foldable Byrd drone back in the beginning of 2016 and followed it up with some more advanced versions later that year. Now, GDU is hoping to enter a slightly more affordable segment of the market and compete with the DJI Mavic with its smaller and more portable version of that original foldable design — the GDU O2......"
b) Drone Interactive
"Another drone company exhibiting here at CES Unveiled is Drone Interactive, a French company that puts together a mashup of AR, tiny drones, and gaming controllers to create a drone-based gaming experience. They’re apparently developing “interactive attractions” for amusement parks, but all I saw on their demo was a guy wearing a VR headset and playing a game through the viewpoint of the drone.
Step into a new era of entertainment experiences. We are developing the next generation interactive attractions for theme and amusement parks based on the latest drone and AR technologies.
We’ll be getting a chance to see Drone Interactive’s product in action on the CES floor later this week, so stay tuned for that. Apparently they’ve developed a Mario Kart-like game, so it should be interesting. Their drone looks like one of those little toys on Amazon....."
c) Eyesee by Hardis Group
"The last drone company we found on the floor of CES Unveiled was Eyesee, which builds inventory management drones for warehouses. The drone uses technology from Squadrone System, Hardis Group, and Zebra to make a system built for logistics warehouses. Obviously, the idea to to minimize human and material resources as much as possible and automate the process.
The drone itself is made almost entirely of styrofoam to keep its weight down, and it has sensors and cameras on all sides to autonomously capture information on pallets.......".
Ze závěru:
"Stay tuned to DroneDJ for more drone coverage from CES 2018! These three companies were the ones we found at CES Unveiled, but there will undoubtedly be dozens more on the floor of CES this week."

The Toolkit for Processing Aerial Drone Imagery
OpenDroneMap: a Toolkit for Processing Aerial Drone Imagery - Commercial UAV News
Autor Eric Van Rees publikoval výše uvedený článek na portálu "expouav.com", na adrese: http://tinyurl.com/y9lby7e8
Cituji vybrané části textu článku:
"Eric van Rees is a freelance writer and editor. His specialty is GIS technology. Currently, he writes about geospatial technology, programming and web development.
- OpenDroneMap (ODM) is an open source project for processing aerial drone imagery, developed by members from OSGEO, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. While the name OpenDroneMap might sound like a relative of the world map of OpenStreetMap, it’s something entirely different, although still related to open source.
- ODM is the name of an open source toolkit for processing aerial drone imagery, developed by members of OSGEO that was started around five years ago and made quite some progress in the last year.
- It now offers modern photogrammetry technology for drones and other low altitude image collection such as balloons and kites and does fully automated matching, digital surface modeling and mosaicking. Stereo vision is used or creating orthophotos and maps, which is a process of extracting 3D information from multiple 2D views of a scene.
ODM´s photogrammetry pipeline
ODM follows a five-step photogrammetry workflow, that starts after aerial imagery has been captured by a drone that can do automated flights and is equipped with a GPS unit and camera. These drone images have to be offloaded into a PC with ODM software installed. ODM can be installed in various ways, the easiest way being a Windows web installer called WebODM, where you create a user account, upload imagery, build a task and execute the following workflow below."
Cituji ze závěru:
"Planned features for the WebODM application are DEM display, mission planning, and a mobile app for autonomous flights. As there ODM does not yet cover the data capture process, users are dependent on mission planning software from their drone vendor/provider. Also in the works are integration with the open source GIS software QGIS and OpenAerialMap, a set of tools for searching and sharing open satellite and drone imagery, as well as integration with Entwine, a data organization library for massive point clouds, and Greyhound, a point cloud streaming framework for dynamic web services and native applications."

What’s on the Liability Landscape Horizon for Drone Manufacturers?
What’s on the Liability Landscape Horizon for Drone Manufacturers?

"With the rapid rise in commercial use comes the inherent liability risk associated with it.
The Rising Cost of Risk
"Beginning with the Turkish Airlines DC-10 crash north of Paris in March of 1974 killing 346, the cost of defending and paying settlements in commercial aviation accidents has sky rocketed. As an example, the 1996 Valujet DC-9 crash in the Everglades killing 103 cost the insurance industry an estimated $266 million and the 2000 Alaska Airlines MD-80 crash near California’s Channel Islands killing 88 had an estimated cost of a whopping $300 million. These cases are now two decades old with the industry cost getting bigger with the loss of larger aircraft involved in air disasters such as Air France Flight 447 which killed 228. With larger aircraft, comes larger risk with insurers now regularly offering aviation liability cover of $1 billion and more.
Ze závěru:
What Should You Do?
"In light of the looming landscape, what can UAV manufacturers do to prepare themselves for this next season?
• Talk to a Broker About Aviation Insurance – Although immature and untested at the beginnings of commercial flight, the aviation insurance industry is now very mature, well-funded, and specialized now with over 60 years of loss and claims experience. With the availability of large first dollar coverage specifically designed to meet the risk of aviation claims, having an aviation policy is essential to risk management as a UAV manufacturer whether commercial or military.
• Don’t Ignore Your Contracts – Companies often fail to focus serious attention on indemnity and insurance provisions in contracts (to either procure component parts and raw materials or to sell those parts or materials to an aircraft manufacturer) until faced with a substantial lawsuit. In those cases, the ability to contractually shift risk or, better yet, be an additional insured on someone’s insurance policy, are golden. Ask a lawyer either internal to your company or from an outside firm to review your contracts both up (selling) and down (buying) looking for a consistent company approach in contract negotiations with an eye toward risk.
• Assess Your Risk and Act Accordingly – Through either an internal or external risk audit, perform a realistic assessment of your risk in the event of an accident involving your aircraft or component part. A close look at document preparation and control, interaction between sales, design, manufacturing, legal and management, product traceability, as well as the tracking and analysis of warranty claims/issues with your products in the field, among other areas, are essential to not only avoiding problems, but being prepared when litigation hits your company. Such an assessment, coupled with a well considered strategic plan in the event of an accident could save your company from some of the brutal realities of facing an aviation lawsuit at some point in the history of your product."
"This is an exciting time in aviation! By the end of this decade commercial UAV flight should be in full swing with all the opportunities that come with it. While celebrating this new era in flight, let us also learn from history and be ready for the risk as well."

"As UAS technology gets cheaper, state and local governments are taking notice when it comes to public-safety drones as a means to save money, replacing manned aerial projects.
- Specifically, police, fire, and rescue agencies are taking flight to save lives in the field, and fresh research says that sector will fly even higher going forward.
- “Over the short term, safety and security drone sales are expected to nearly double by 2019, reaching $250 million. Between 2019 and 2022, sales are expected to see explosive growth and increase more than fourfold. Long term growth prospects are also bright, with sales projected to increase nearly sevenfold in the six-year period between 2022 and 2028.”
- The study estimates that safety and security drone sales account for approximately 20 percent of total commercial UAV market share.
- Among the reasons for the surge, the report notes:
• “Rapidly spreading awareness of the capabilities and benefits of commercial drones, including the option to integrate drones into existing security systems and services to provide actionable intelligence;
• Declining equipment costs as economies of scale continue to allow manufacturers to produce equipment more efficiently and as broader demand for sensors and specialized equipment eases current supply shortages, making drones a more affordable option for potential end users;
• Evolving industry regulations that will help remove gray areas in the legality of operation and encourage wider adoption among potential end users who may otherwise hesitate due to liability concerns.”

"As UAS technology gets cheaper, state and local governments are taking notice when it comes to public-safety drones as a means to save money, replacing manned aerial projects.
- Specifically, police, fire, and rescue agencies are taking flight to save lives in the field, and fresh research says that sector will fly even higher going forward.
- “Over the short term, safety and security drone sales are expected to nearly double by 2019, reaching $250 million. Between 2019 and 2022, sales are expected to see explosive growth and increase more than fourfold. Long term growth prospects are also bright, with sales projected to increase nearly sevenfold in the six-year period between 2022 and 2028.”

"Plzeňské centrum Dronet, které se specializuje na technologie pro bezpilotní letadla, čeká v letošním roce pozoruhodný rozvoj. Rozšíří své prostory a za miliony pořídí i moderní technologie....
Za projektem Dronet stojí Správa informačních technologií města Plzně (SIT) a v rámci Česka je zcela výjimečný. Funguje i jako podnikatelský inkubátor pro zájemce o záležitosti spojené s bezpilotním létáním. V Plzni tak mohou vznikat aplikace zaměřené na inspekční lety, investiční výstavbu, kontrolu objektů nebo budování infrastruktury....."
"Ředitel SIT Luděk Šantora prohlásil, že .... díky naší praxi s drony se snažíme pomáhat vývoji aplikací na zpracování dat, která bezpilotní letadla pořídí,“ konstatoval.
Vize: Plzeň bude lídrem v oblasti bezpilotního létání
"V otázce vývoje aplikací pro drony se prý ale Plzni daří držet krok s dobou. „Je proto možné vymýšlet, jaké činnosti lze s využitím letadel dělat rychleji a bezpečněji. Teď se víc zaměřujeme na studenty, kteří dokážou vyvíjet aplikace. Můžeme jim pomoci tím, že máme ta letadla a senzory a můžeme jim poskytovat data,“ vysvětlil Šantora.
Na rekonstrukci v areálu bývalé Reo Depony pro Dronet je vyhrazena částka 30 milionů, na pořízení technologií 20 milionů korun. Polovinu celkových nákladů může pokrýt dotace. „Dodávka technologií proběhne podle plánu v červnu, v srpnu by pak měla být dokončena oprava budovy,“ dodal Pavel Šindelář. Součástí dodaných technologií bude bezpilotní letadlo, speciální senzory pro laserové skenování, kamera s vysokým rozlišením pro vytváření 2D a 3D modelů a hyperspektrální senzor."

- Boeing recently offered a first glimpse of its newest military aircraft, a large, stingray-shaped drone it hopes will win an intense Navy competition to build an uncrewed aircraft capable of landing on an aircraft carrier.
- Drones have been a vital part of the Pentagon’s arsenal for years, but the competition for a Navy carrier-based version that can refuel jet fighters in the midair would mark a significant advancement in the technology — and become another sign of how the military is increasingly integrating robots into the way it fights......
- The ability to refuel those jets in midair with a drone would allow them to strike deeper into enemy territory, even while the carriers stay safely off shore. Without that capability, defense analysts fear the U.S.’s long-held air dominance could be diminished and its fleet of aircraft carriers, perhaps one of the most significant ways the Pentagon projects force from wherever, whenever, could become obsolete...."

Announced in December 2015, the drone registration rule required that all persons operating a drone weighing more than 250 grams for either hobbyist or non-hobbyist operations in U.S. airspace must fill out a simple registration form and pay a $5 fee. Users would be given a unique aircraft tail number to be affixed to their drone. Thousands of drone users quickly registered under the new rule. In July 2016, the FAA released a database with the location of the 464,158 drone users and drones that had been registered in the first six months of the program.

"Two of the most intriguing topics I have covered this year are both linked to technology – drones and electric cars.
- Intriguing? Unmanned aircraft and cars? The reader may well wonder. But not only are these items all about rapidly changing technology and its possibilities, they are also about misconceptions and common beliefs which are all too often one-sided.
- Take drones, for example. People don’t keep up with what is happening around drones which are rapidly changing and don’t realise the drones of today are vastly different from those just a few years ago.

"And this is why it was fun to write this article, much like the one about drones. Clearing up a few misconceptions. In this case, I only found out about the amount of actual emissions because I had the help of a very knowledgeable and helpful engineer, an expert in the field.
- It isn’t that easy to calculate the emissions of power stations and what they mean in relation to car emissions and liquid fuel, and that is why I enjoyed the engineer’s enlightening help.
- Plus, it is not only about emissions. I next found that battery cells for the vehicles are not only extremely heavy and expensive, their production also eats up an enormous amount of energy.
- In short, it was a journey of discovery and one I enjoyed sharing with readers, hopefully adding a bit of balance to the way objects such as drones and electric cars are usually depicted."
