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.
Measure, a 32 Advisors Company, and PrecisionHawk have announced on 8 January that they have partnered to provide unmanned aerial system (UAS) services.
The partnership will give clients more affordable, quicker and simpler access to advanced aerial data gathering, processing and analysis.
Brandon Torres Declet, CEO and Co-founder, Measure, said: 'PrecisionHawk's analytical software, among the most sophisticated in the world, is a critical tool for clients who need powerful near real time data processing capabilities. As a Measure partner, we plan on integrating the DataMapper software solution with select clients through our drone as a service offering.'
Christopher Dean, CEO, PrecisionHawk, added: 'As the industry expands, companies are looking for a comprehensive solution to fit into their existing workflow. This extends far beyond a hardware platform. In partnering with Measure, we can collectively engage with global clientele in an advisory and operational capacity to ensure users see a return on their investment.'
