Equipped With A FLIR Infrared Sensor, The OPA Helped Track Sharks For OCEARCH's Latest Expedition
Aurora recently partnered with OCEARCH, a marine conservation organization, to provide aerial support locating and tracking great white sharks off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The Centaur optionally piloted DA-42 aircraft (OPA) flew above the expedition area in a predetermined flight pattern to help scientists aboard the OCEARCH ship target, identify and track the location of the sharks in real time.
