Midway through the Expo 2022, we spoke to Easy Aerial’s Tuvi Cohen, VP Enterprise Programs, about their “drone-in-a-box”; a fully autonomous system that consists of three main components; 1) the ‘nest’ ground station, 2) drone, and 3) the proprietary software that operates the entire system. The ‘system’ box measures 56” x 56”x 24.4” and weighs 231.5 lbs.
Mr. Tuvi stated that it can integrate into any existing system, and contribute to different industries; public safety, agriculture, major infrastructures, and industrial sites. He alluded that its “pretty easy”, akin to a computer game, where you set up the mission, mount the drone (whether on a moving vehicle, stationary area, rooftop, or even in a vessel), it [the drone] will fly, do the mission, and return for landing inside the ‘box. He added that the nest automatically rotates the drone and aligns it with the charging pads, and that the system is also water resistant, durable and rugged, and can work in very harsh weather conditions.
The unit on display has six motors that can fly up to a window of 30 mph in two different configurations; free flight and tether. In the tethered option, the drone can fly up to a height of 300 feet, and remain there for an unlimited amount of time and, should the mission need change to pursue a target or cover more ground, the drone will release the tether cable and continue in free flight mode.
When asked what kind of missions they’re designing for, Mr. Tuvi stated that they do a lot of perimeter security inspections and agriculture mapping, further emphasizing that “we didn't replace people, we empower people and industries” to gain operational efficiency. Mr. Tuvi stated that for example “in agriculture you need to have precise growing so you can only do that with the right tools so, it’s definitely a social revolution and not technological one, because it’s the same tech…but the fact that it's scalable and can interact with whatever you have and create another Aerial ‘layer’ that’s the new innovation thinking.”
