AUSA 2024: Quantum-Systems targets big 2025 with UAS developments
Quantum-Systems has been upgrading its UAS family, with new versions of the Vector, Reliant and Twister drones set for release throughout 2025.
Bluesky and Cyberhawk team up
A teaming arrangement between Bluesky and Cyberhawk will target the unmanned aerial survey and mapping market, a statement from Bluesky announced on 27 January.
Bluesky is an aerial mapping company, while Cyberhawk provides unmanned airborne inspection and survey services.
The collaboration will allow Bluesky’s customers to take advantage of the rapid data collection and shorter mobilisation, acquisition and processing times associated with Cyberhawk’s UAV technology and powerful iHawk cloud software. In turn, the partnership will provide Cyberhawk clients access to the latest aerial survey sensors and equipment; including an integrated sensor for the capture of aerial photography, LiDAR and thermal data – essential for large scale data capture projects that require manned aircraft.
Rachel Tidmarsh, managing director, Bluesky International, said: ‘We are often asked if we can capture a specific location or industrial installation, either at short notice or on a specific date and time. By partnering with Cyberhawk, we can be confident that our customers will receive the high standards of customer service and product quality they have come to expect.’
Phil Buchan, commercial director, Cyberhawk Innovations, added: ‘The partnership with Bluesky will allow us to complement our existing UAV offering with nationwide coverage of aerial photography and 3D height data, as well as more specialist capture and production including thermal surveys, LiDAR and even air quality monitoring and night time surveys.’
