Botlink, in collaboration with Simple Business Automation (SBA), is proud to announce the release of the POLLi software platform. POLLi is a one-of-a-kind product that supports data collection and analysis by utilizing automated drone operations for image collection, machine-learning cloud computing for object detection, and in-depth online software for image analysis and reporting.
On September 18, 2018 Botlink along with North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and Northern Plains UAS Test Site (NPUASTS) announced the second phase of testing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in Fargo. Working in conjunction with CNN, ParaZero, the NDDOT and NPUASTS, we are performing the second series of test flights of Unmanned Aircraft Systems for potential flight over a group of people in controlled airspace. This second phase will take place on September 29th at the NDSU football game tailgate. On this day, we will fly drones over-top of the tailgaters, capturing photos and footage of the event. We will be live streaming the flight on our Facebook page with Microsoft MSN.
Does your battery have the ability to report battery statistics to you while it is airborne? Are you sure that battery will work for your important demo? It is vital to have a battery that allows you to fulfill the duties of your aircraft.
The statement that technology is making giant leaps forward every day is undeniable. In this fast-paced world, you must "stay ahead of the curve".
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) along with the U.S. DOT announced that North Dakota was one of ten selected to participate in the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integration Pilot Program (IPP). The ten winners will be testing drone functions such as the ability to fly a UAS over people, operate a UAS at night along with the ability to fly UAS beyond the pilot's visual line of sight. This program will also be monitoring the integration of unmanned systems into the day-to-day airspace operations.
Your agency is looking for a drone? That is awesome because drones are now being used for traffic reconstructions, leading search and rescue missions, and monitoring crowds. They are making the work of officers more effective and much safer. Do you want to be able to do your job better, more effectively, and remain safe? Great! You have come to the right place. We have put together a quick guide to help you determine the right drone for your department!
It seems everyone has their own side-hustle these days. Many people sign up for ridesharing services, others walk dogs in their free time, some rent out their homes to strangers. But you? You’ve got a drone. You have the best kind of potential side-hustle!
Once you’ve bought your drone and you’re absolutely confident you’ve mastered the art of flying it, you can get ready to start making money with your new skills and hardware.
Since agronomists and scientists began using it in 1973, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) has become one of the most successful tools to easily and quickly assess plant and crop health. Fast forward to today, NDVI is the most common vegetation index captured with drones and used in precision agriculture.
Drones, like tractors of the sky, are changing agriculture. They save you time and help you work more efficiently. They can quickly cover more ground by air than by land, while being less disruptive to crops and livestock. Spending fewer hours surveying your field leaves more time to focus on other important tasks. Drones also provide a very different perspective of your land from above than you might be used to seeing from the window of your pickup. And with drone software to process the aerial imagery, the applications are even more numerous.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), an estimated 2.6 million commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) will be in service by 2020, which means the airspace is going to get crowded. NASA is leading a project to ensure those UAS, or drones, can safely share the airspace while still doing their jobs effectively. NASA enlisted the help of Botlink and other U.S. drone companies to test its drone traffic management system.
