Flow Measurement Drone

The Flow Measurement Drone is a specialized UAV designed for accurate water velocity and discharge measurement in rivers, canals, and reservoirs. It integrates an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) with high-precision positioning systems, enabling efficient data collection across large water bodies without the need for traditional boats or bridges. The drone’s autonomous flight planning allows for systematic transect surveys, while its real-time data processing capabilities generate comprehensive flow reports for hydrological monitoring, flood forecasting, and water resource management.

15KG Spring Knife

The "Spring Knife" incorporates a foldable wing mechanism: while stowed inside the launch tube, its wings stay folded to conserve space. As soon as it exits the tube, the wings snap open rapidly, furnishing the cruise missile with essential lift and flight stability. This design confers greater convenience and flexibility upon the "Spring Knife" in terms of both transport and deployment.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle For Embankment Inspection And Risk Assessment

This specialized unmanned aerial vehicle is designed for comprehensive embankment inspection and risk assessment. Equipped with high-resolution optical and thermal imaging sensors, it can efficiently detect cracks, seepage, erosion, and structural anomalies along embankments and levees. The UAV's autonomous flight planning capabilities allow for systematic coverage of large areas, while its data processing system generates detailed 2D/3D models and risk assessment reports. This technology enables engineers and emergency responders to identify potential hazards early, prioritize maintenance efforts, and make informed decisions for disaster prevention and mitigation.

6KG Spring Knife

The "Spring Knife" cruise missile features a foldable wing design: when housed within its launch tube, the wings remain folded to minimize space occupation. Upon exiting the launch tube, the wings rapidly deploy, generating the necessary lift and ensuring stability during cruise flight. This innovative design significantly enhances the "Spring Knife"'s portability and launch flexibility.

UAV

A Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft operated without a human pilot on board, controlled either remotely by a ground-based operator or autonomously via pre-programmed flight plans and onboard sensors. Available in diverse sizes—from compact consumer models to large industrial-grade systems—UAVs integrate core components like electric motors, rechargeable batteries, GPS modules, and high-definition cameras or specialized payloads (e.g., thermal imagers, LiDAR). They excel in applications ranging from aerial photography and recreational flying to professional sectors such as agricultural crop monitoring, infrastructure inspection (bridges, power lines), search-and-rescue missions, and environmental surveillance, offering flexibility, cost-efficiency, and access to hard-to-reach areas while minimizing human risk.
