🚨 Asset owners may ask themselves the below questions and get overwhelmed with trying to solve them. 🚨 What happens when a client doesn't have information on their asset? ❌ What happens when there's no drawings, no 2D layouts, no 3D Models? ❌ What happens when underground infrastructure isn't mapped & progress tracked? ❌ Reach out to Delta Scan and discover how large scale digitising and mapping can be implemented at your plant or asset. Let us showcase the range of deliverables and massive benefits. #mine #digitisation #mapping #LiDAR #photogrammetry #engineering

Innovations for Surveyors... A collaboration between Jim Crume P.L.S., M.S., CFedS, RP and The Marksman. Introducing 'AirMark' the first Patented Integrated Surveying Drone. In the design stage. What are some potential applications?

In this paper, we design and analyse a relay-aided Slotted ALOHA solution for uplink random access in a mixed #underwater #optical #wireless #communications (#UOWC)-#radio #frequency (#RF) system. The first uplink phase represents the #UOWC transmission between underwater devices and the floating buoys, which act as surface relays. The second uplink phase is performed by #radio-#frequency (RF) communications between buoys and an #unmanned #Aerial #Vehicle (#UAV) hovering over the water surface. Analytical expression for end-to-end throughput is derived, and utilized to analyse performance dependence on the #UOWC and #RF channel conditions, as well as #UAV position. The performance improvement due to employment of relaying is observed under various channel and traffic conditions. ----Tijana Devaja, @Srdjan Sobot, Milica Petkovic, Marko Beko, Dejan Vukobratovic More details can be found at this link: https://lnkd.in/gS88CQZQ

Year 2023 was for LeVanta Tech a year of reaching a significant milestone, as CEO, Kelly A. Echols unveiled our HALIA float-and-fly drone (FFD) prototype at the EUROPEAN ROTORS event in Madrid https://lnkd.in/dzJrCJPD. The drone's unique features include indefinite floating on the ocean with low detectability and power consumption, presenting new opportunities in sustainability. The dual-use technology's current focus is on defense applications due to heightened interest from the military. The company's engagement with the Office of Naval Research reflects its dedication to pushing FFD technology boundaries, and the upcoming HALIA alpha prototype testing phase marks an exciting chapter in LeVanta Tech's journey. We are actively seeking funding and collaborations, with discussions underway with industry leaders such as Standard Arrow and Airbus. #UAV #DroneTechnology #Innovation #AerospaceIndustry #TechnologyInnovation #Drones #AerospaceTech #FFD #DefenseIndustry #UAVDevelopment #FloatAndFly #FutureTech #SustainableTechnology #floatingoffshorewind #MilitaryInnovation #ResearchAndDevelopment #TechCollaboration #AviationNews #EmergingTech #IndustryLeaders #HoverFoil #VerticalFlight #BlueTech #EngineeringInnovation #FutureOfFlight #DroneTesting #Ocean #Monitoringsolutions #Monitoring

Professor Vikrant Vaze received the INFORMS AAS Best Paper Award for "Vertiport Planning for Urban Aerial Mobility: An Adaptive Discretization Approach," which was co-authored with MIT Professor Alex Jacquillat and Tsinghua University Professor Kai Wang. The paper, published in Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, optimizes the number, locations, and capacities of vertiports for electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) vehicles in urban aerial mobility (UAM) systems while capturing interdependencies between vertiport deployment, tactical operations, and passenger demand. https://bit.ly/4dva4d7

EUREKA Project | EUROPEAN KEY SOLUTIONS FOR VERTIPORTS AND UAM 👉 Our new project landing page with all important information about the EUREKA project is online: 🌐 https://lnkd.in/eCKZZunq ℹ️ In EUREKA, four solutions are being pursued that together will cover the entire arrival, departure and turnaround process of vertiports. These include the design of the arrival and departure of a vertiport, including the route and trajectory, as well as the management of disruptions and emergencies. The aim is to develop a template that EU Member States can use to integrate #UAM procedures into their national legislation. 💡 We are taking on the role of one of the USSPs in the project, providing not only the UTM system, but also airspace sensor hardware and extensive expertise and experience in U-Space and operational deployments. #EUREKA #UrbanAirMobility #Vertiports EUROCONTROL

We're excited to announce that we now offer demo appointments for the smartWINDOW at our prototype lab opposite the Landungsbrücken, near the old Elbtunnel. Experience firsthand how our technology seamlessly overlays essential navigational data onto the bridge window, guiding ships safely through maritime traffic. 🛳 Interested in learning more? Send us a DM to schedule your appointment and see the smartWINDOW in action. 🚢 Imagine captaining a ship through bustling maritime traffic, your eyes gliding seamlessly from the horizon to crucial navigational data and back again – all without your gaze leaving the window. This is the game-changing capability of our smartWINDOW, a transparent bridge window designed to overlay essential navigational information directly onto the glass. Navigators can now view their surroundings and instruments simultaneously, maintaining constant situational awareness. 🔭 We've brought this vision to life in our prototype lab at the Port of Hamburg. In our video, you can witness the smartWINDOW in action, showing vessels on Hamburg's bustling waters by day and night. The enhanced night view further illustrates how this technology helps prevent ship accidents, offering an innovative solution to maritime safety and navigation. Whether by day, with ships maneuvering amidst each other, or by night, where vessels are hard to see, the smartWINDOW provides a clear, augmented view of maritime traffic, making the navigational journey as seamless as possible. Join us in exploring a new era of maritime navigation – one where technology and transparency merge to provide safe and efficient journeys for all.    #smartWINDOW #MaritimeSafety #InnovationInNavigation
