Unmanned future: highly efficient operation of drones

 

With the development of modern technology, the drones are increasingly becoming a competitive substitute for small planes and helicopters patrolling the territory, carrying out reconnaissance, monitoring fire conditions, carrying out search and rescue operations, and others. However, British experts have decided to make the operation of drones more efficiently, which is why going over the next 2-3 years to implement a new technology that allows unmanned aerial vehicles increased autonomy.

 

 

As noted by British scientists from Imperial College London, in the near future, unmanned aerial vehicles will be able to replenish the battery charge using conventional electric transmission lines. In fact, experts propose to create special sites directly on power lines, equipped with special devices that provide the possibility of special recharging of the UAV. The platform itself should be equipped with a special GPS-tag, which ensures the precise landing of the drone, while there will also be a kind of connector that provides an opportunity to activate the process of recharging the batteries. The technology is indeed very innovative, however, it is important to clarify the fact that it is only suitable for unmanned aerial vehicles powered by an electric power plant, moreover, given the location of the site itself, only aircraft with vertical power can land here for subsequent recharging. takeoff and landing.

 

The process of charging the battery drone

 

Nevertheless, experts believe that even such an approach will provide the broadest opportunities for unmanned aircraft, in particular, with the help of devices that provide recharging of drones, it will be possible to freely patrol the area and perform other tasks mentioned above. It is important to note that experts believe that, thanks to the installation of special power supply devices, charging the UAV batteries will take only 20 minutes, which is about 2-3 times faster than when charging from a regular network.
