The video is beautiful, but the concept is a complete failure. FPV drones are many times better than this helicopter. The only thing I can say is that the first one who will be able to implement a narrowly focused AI in the FPV, which will do all the work for the man, and the man instead of looking at the screen will tell the AI in the earpiece what he needs to do, will win. In short, the owners of smart software or AI will win in this race. What you have is just a beautiful toy.
Idk what's more scary this little guy or a FPV drone. Having infantry and armor knowing your exact position without any hint of being compromised or hearing the ptsd inducing vrrrrt as you're being chased by a RPG loaded drone. 21st warfare is a different beast.
Is it possible to make an affordable all weather compact gimbal camera with infrared and thermal imaging along with auto track and a decently impressive zoom-in quality that doesn't cost more then roughly 2K ? Teledyne FLIR is clearly becoming the leading standard in optical detection sensor equipment. You have organizations dying for this product line for example Sky360,Project Galileo at Harvard , UAPx, SCU, Enigma Labs and far more. If There can be a "standard issue" you can capitalize on it for sure. I personally believe Teledyne FLIR holds the key to a door many need help passing through when it comes to that field research.
If you ever used the previous Black Hornets you know they're at most a gimmick. Resolution is not great, battery is horrible, specially after a year or so(15min MAX). Can snap it's own rotors just by flying and their carrying cases tended to be sluggish to carry around. They had the ease of deploying part right to be fair.
Do you have anything that can detect helium? We use helium for leak checking but use a sniffer, and it isn't very user-friendly when there are about 100 points of connection. It would make finding a leak much better if you could see it.
Yes! The FLIR Si2-LD (www.flir.com/products/si2-ld) is an acoustic imager capable of identifying some gas leaks, including helium and hydrogen. This device uses 124 sensitive microphones to detect the sound of the leak and creates an image to pinpoint the exact location. As for optical gas imaging cameras--these highly sensitive cameras visualize gases that absorb infrared energy within the filtered bandpass (you're seeing the lack of infrared energy as a gas cloud). Noble gases like helium don't absorb infrared energy within that filtered bandpass, so they can't be directly imaged. I think you'd have to introduce a tracer gas such as carbon dioxide to be able to see the leak, which may be counter productive.
I once pointed a FLIR directly at the moon, and then next to it at the clear sky. The sky gave a radiation temperature of around -40°C and the moon close to 0°C.
