Jammer resistant drone designs spark search for countermeasures
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has driven another stage of evolution for drones and the counter measures to defend against them.
Sentera has introduced its Quad sensor in an integrated gimbal-stabilised package for DJI’s Inspire and Matrice UAS, the company announced on 7 August.
The Gimbaled Quad sensor features four fully-customisable and individually-filtered focal plane arrays. Its 'lock and go' technology provides simple, snap-in installation to the UAS and actively stabilises the optics to true nadir, enabling the capture of high-precision, low-distortion vegetative health data imagery.
Produced images are compatible with almost all standard stitching and GIS tools.
In standard configuration, the Gimbaled Quad sensor offers access to standard Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Green NDVI, Normalized Difference Red Edge (NDRE) and high-resolution colour data capture. Simultaneous collection of NDVI and NDRE data provides users with informative, accurate insights about crop health while streamlining operations.
