In the news
- Taking our research to new heights! Putting our heavy-lift drone through its paces in challenging, windy conditions before integrating our multispectral imaging payload. Today's focus: evaluating flight stability, handling and platform performance ahead of airborne optical sensing experiments. Next step: multispectral sensor integration and flight trials! And as Newton reminds us, what goes up must come down… preferably in a controlled manner! #DroneResearch #MultispectralImaging #Optronics #RemoteSensing #RMA
