Airborne-Unmanned 01.30.18: Camcopter SAR, FAA Class Action, DJI Mavic Air

Also: Colorado Sheriff UAS, AUVSI Tampa Chapter, MQ-9B RPA Automated Ops, PrecisionHawk $$$

As part of an ongoing homicide investigation in Stiwoll, Austria late last year, Schiebel’s CAMCOPTER S-100 UAS demonstrated its suitability for search and rescue missions, during a first of its kind operation.

During the operation, Schiebel provided Austrian law enforcement with its CAMCOPTER S-100 UAS and operating personnel to help in the search for a double homicide suspect assumed to be hiding in a forest region. The FAA has been hit with another lawsuit over its drone registration database, and this time the agency is facing nearly $840 million in penalties. Drone attorney Jonathan Rupprecht writes that the case has been brought by Robert Taylor -- the brother of John Taylor, who won a case against the FAA that temporarily suspended the FAA's drone registration requirement. Rupprecht says that this case is a Class Action suit of at least 836,796 members. DJI has introduced the Mavic Air, inheriting the best features of DJI’s Mavic with a 4K camera, new QuickShot modes, SmartCapture, and FlightAutonomy 2.0 with Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems. Just 430 grams, the Mavic Air’s folding arms and propellers sit flush against its frame, so that its footprint is nearly the size of a modern smartphone when folded. A recessed three-axis mechanical gimbal is suspended from dampeners to further reduce vibration. The camera houses a 1/2.3” CMOS sensor and the equivalent of a 24mm F2.8 lens (on a 35mm full frame sensor). All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unmanned!!!
