Dredging Today’s Post

Near shore bathymetric surveying using our unmanned survey vessel (USV) at JEBLC. An excellent tool for surveying where conditions are too shallow or dangerous for a crewed vessel.

As #Firefly continues its reliability testing regimen, the aircraft completed yet another test flight milestone by flying 76 minutes with a 90 lb payload in a racetrack loop pattern at #PFT HQ. To put this into mission perspective, in a real-world setting, Firefly could have carried and delivered the following items 76 minutes from launch to destination: #WildlandFire Applications: 2 cubies of water Two fully fueled drip torches 1 MARK-3 Fire Pump & 1 hosepack (50') #PrecisionAg Applications: 10 gallons of fertilizer 12 gallons of pesticides Stage/move 90 lbs of equipment/fuel to next remote island #Emergency Response / #DisasterRelief: 29 Disaster Relief first aid kits Four 21 lb MRE cases 2-3 DeltaDevTeam APRUs loaded with blood (32 lbs each) 1 robotic dog and a lot of robotic dog treats :) The best part? Firefly can be refueled in less than five minutes and can get back up in the air to perform over and over again! #dronesforgood #heavylift #verticallift #aam

Flooding poses a significant threat to the Netherlands and Rijkswaterstaat, an agency of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, is constantly monitoring this risk. They have partnered with key players such as Van Oord to ensure we keep our feet dry in this county where a significant part is below sea level. By deploying the "VO:X Huygens", one of their USVs build by Demcon Unmanned Systems, they navigated the shallow waters of Noordwaard's floodplains and streams, mapping their capacity in record time. This project demonstrates that these pioneering USVs are valuable and sustainable tools for crucial water management, ensuring the safety of both people and the environment. 🌊 Join the fight against floods!
