Commercial Industrial Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Applications

Archaeology and Geology

Archaeology and Geology is a very exacting science and extremely demanding on visual reproduction. Homeland Surveillance & Electronics LLC helicopters allow highly accurate HD Photos and HD Videos of either extreme altitudes and large expanses. The patented Autopilot feature with pre-designed mission management allows the pilot to create detailed flight plans from Digitized maps with exact ‘Way Points’ and automated photo management. With the optional Photo rendering software, 3D maps and topography is easily created in conjunction with the time-lapse photos to create highly detailed maps for elevation, structures, detailed measurements, volumes and other scientific analysis. Also, because the electric propulsion, they fly at altitudes our competitors cannot touch without messing with fuel carburetors and windy conditions. We also offer 45 minutes of hover capabilities and the ability to carry select professional HD video equipment and sensors so that no shot escapes you.

Agriculture and Conservation

The field of Agriculture can include commercial, flood assessments, drought, snow packs, and many other conservation efforts. The ability for the platform fly pre-saved ‘Missions’ via the fully automated ground station allows for time-lapse photos of fields, crops and known land tracts. This ability to accurately re-create the same pattern during all seasons is invaluable data for land and soil management. The capability of the helicopter to utilize the HD video, HD photos and IR camera packages allows for detailed analysis and recording. With the optional Photo rendering software, 3D maps and topography can also be created in conjunction with the time-lapse photos to create highly detailed maps for erosion, flood mapping and other critical aspects for land management.

Construction

Use of Homeland Surveillance & Electronics LLC helicopters in the field of Construction can include Roads, Bridges, Commercial Housing, Industrial Developments, and High Rises. All aspects of construction from the designing stages to final construction depend on highly accurate site data. The simple to use platform allows for multiple angles of HD still photos and videos of the site. With the optional Photo rendering software, 3D maps and topography can also be created in conjunction with standard photos to create highly detailed elevation views, detailed and exact distances with CAD quality drawings for any photographed structures. Our helicopters offer unprecedented features, such as a integrated autopilot with GPS waypoint navigation, superior altitude (up to 12,000 ft), and battery power for 45 minutes of quiet operations, and the ability to carry select HD video equipment. The ability to create real time data for all parties in construction is critical to the success of projects, without the expenses of traditional helicopter and fixed wing aircraft views.

Maritime and Shipping

Unfortunately, maritime and shipping is now spoken in context of defense and protection on the high seas. Homeland Surveillance & Electronics LLC helicopters with the simple to use autopilot and camera systems allow for a dramatically easy to use surveillance and threat assessment. These systems allows operators the ability to cover large view of a ship, including hard to view areas over the sides of a large super tanker. In addition, viewing a 2 mile perimeter at sea offers crucial time in a ‘hostile’ situation when assistance is not available. Also, with the IR cameras and sensing payloads, leaks, and dangerous conditions are easily accessed and viewed from a safe distance. Homeland Surveillance & Electronics LLC helicopters offer unprecedented features, such as a integrated autopilot with GPS waypoint navigation, superior altitude (up to 12,000 ft), and battery power for 45 minutes of quiet operations, and the ability to carry select HD video equipment.
