The Windracers ULTRA aircraft, designed for self-flying cargo missions, will play a key role in enhancing Norway’s research capabilities in the region

The project, which began in March 2024, leverages DJI's advanced drone technology to collect environmental DNA (eDNA) from previously difficult-to-reach areas, particularly treetops in dense rainforest regions.

The River Observing System (RiOS), a drone-based technology for real-time monitoring of river flow rates uses thermal imaging and onboard computing to track water surface velocities.

The consortium plans to conduct a series of test flights to assess the feasibility of using drones for large-area laser scanning applications.

The investment underscores the growing importance of advanced weather forecasting in various industries and national security.

A New Era of Environmental Stewardship Through Drone Technology

To put their journey in perspective, the company's combined nautical miles could encapsulate the Earth 48 times or make a round trip to the moon 2.5 times.
