Dubai Police Introduce Drone-in-a-Box for Faster Response to Community

Dubai Police Introduce Drone-in-a-Box for Faster Response to Community
Dubai Police droneThe first World Drone Prix took place in Dubai in 2016.  Dubai was the first place in the world to showcase a drone taxi, implementing a fixed route back in 2017.  Since then, Dubai has worked to utilize drones  – and other cutting edge technology (CNN reports that Dubai police started training on Hoverbikes in 2019) throughout its infrastructure.  Low altitude air corriders are being developed to facilitate drone delivery throughout Dubai.  At the recent GITEX, Dubai’s globally renowned technology show, the Dubai Police introduced a new drone-in-a-box solution for faster response to accidents and requests for assistance.

The Airobotics ruggedized, sophisticated system is designed to be operated from a central command operations post, launching the drone from the box and directing it to a specified location to provide aerial intelligence, or potentially, other tools according to payload.  Dubai may locate the systems strategically throughout the city, in order to provide more immediate response to traffic accidents or other citizen requests for assistance, in a “Drones as First Responder” application.  The situational intelligence provided will allow police to respond more effectively to the situation, allowing them to provide the correct resources for the problem.  When the mission is complete, the aircraft returns to the temperature-controlled dock for charging and storage.

DJI Mini 2 Errors: What They Mean (And How to Fix Them) | Droneblog

Image
Nothing brings a drone operator down quicker (pun intended) than bad weather and drone error codes.  We wait until it gets better with the weather, eventually, although our highly anticipated day of flying is ruined.  However, drone error codes can be more than simply waiting out the issue or hoping it resolves itself. Error codes and the inability to fly the DJI Mini 2 because of these errors can be a nuisance, but, when those codes are decoded, explained, and suggestions on how to fix the issue come to the fore, things get easier. We’ll be looking at a laundry list of DJI Mini 2 error codes, what they mean, and the steps to fix them.  The codes will be listed numerically to locate specific codes easier within the article. These codes are: Code 10001Code 10016Code 10022Code 10023Code 30007Code 30008Code 30047Code 30049Code 30050Code 30055Code 30060Code 30064 Code 30085Code 30105Code 30168Code 30210Code 30224Code 30226Code 40002Code 40011Code 40012Code 40021Code 180016Code 180030Code 1...

DJI Transmission System (Everything You Need to Know)

Image
An essential feature behind a DJI drone that is often overlooked is the drone transmission system. I have personally flown multiple DJI drones from different generations, and I can say – good heavens, what a difference! DJI drones usually have the OcuSync transmission system, which is unique and proprietary to DJI. The transmission module is installed on all DJI drones and cannot be upgraded or changed, but it comes in different versions. And the flight range, penetration, controller compatibility, and a few more factors depend on it. Here, I’ll share with you everything you need to know about the DJI transmission system, why it matters, the difference between them, and how we can identify one. Behind DJI OcuSync: Factors & Analysis A transmission system in a drone is one of the most critical parts without which a drone cannot fly at all. It simply cannot make a connection between a drone remote controller and the drone itself. In consumer DJI drones, we have the OcuSy...

Autel EVO 2 Pro: 3 Most-Common Problems (With Solutions) | Droneblog

Image
The Autel EVO 2 Pro drone is a very powerful drone with many features, but it does have a few drawbacks that I have found while using it. Despite the issues I have experienced, the Autel EVO 2 Pro is still a great drone that I would recommend to anyone looking for a foldable drone with a 20MP camera. While the Autel EVO 2 Pro is a strong drone model overall, there are a few areas of weakness. The controller, lack of accessories, and flight characteristics could use some work on Autel’s end to get this drone to the top of its class. Even with the problems I have experienced, there are still many ways to fly the EVO 2 Pro issue-free. Let’s take a closer look at some of the issues you might experience and ways to work around them to get the footage you’re looking for. 1. Autel EVO 2 controller issues As a professional drone operator, I have used a few different drone controllers and think the controller that comes with the EVO 2 Pro is just too small and not balanced properly. Let’s discu...
