THE VERSATILITY OF OUR DRONES IN FOUR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS
Versatility is one of the most distinctive features of our drones and unmanned flight systems. What, then, are the main applications of our drones? For convenience, we have grouped them into four macro-categories. Mapping Until a decade ago, mapping was a very complex operation, possible only through aircraft. Over the years, however, drones have gained a foothold in what is a series of data surveys that are crucial for agriculture, livestock and beyond. Thanks to mapping, in fact, it is possible to detect groundwater and underground elements but also to assess, month after month, coastal erosion, one of the main
VENTURE LE: OUR LATEST MULTIROTOR
The daily work in PROS S3 originates a continuous evolution of our products: Venture LE, for example, is the multirotor that is the result of an evolution from the first version of Venture up to Surveyor. Venture LE, then, is the ultimate in "Made in PRO S3" multirotors. It is a platform that sums up technology and ease of use, thanks to its small footprint and very fast (less than two minutes) preparation for flight. The very high technological standard achieved by Venture LE can already be found in the materials used for the construction of the fully enclosed central
THE IMPORTANCE OF RAMS ANALYSIS
Preliminary study of an aircraft is a time-consuming, often highly complex operation, requiring analysis of microscopic details that will often go into macroscopic parts. Among our activities, we constantly engage in applied engineering activities in the aircraft industry: in addition to the virtual and augmented reality laboratory, which we inaugurated last year, we also perform RAMS analysis. What is a RAMS analysis? RAMS is first and foremost an acronym that brings together the English termsReliability,Availability,Maintenability, andSafety. Going into more detail,Reliability is the probability that a system or device will maintain its performance unchanged over time. Reliability is determined by the
THE IMPORTANCE OF CX COEFFICIENT FOR A CAR’S AERODYNAMICS
Among our engineering specializations, that related to the automotive enables us to support our customers at every stage of the development of an extremely complex product such as an automobile. The study of aerodynamics is a very important phase, at the same level of importance as the avionics industry. One of the key parameters we use for the external aerodynamics of a car is the CX coefficient, which is the coefficient of aerodynamic friction. What is it and how is this coefficient calculated? CX is a coefficient used to measure the aerodynamic drag that a solid body encounters when passing
THE IMPORTANCE OF AR AND VR IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
Until two decades ago, virtual and augmented reality was almost comparable to science fiction, while until a few years ago it was a marginal part of technology investment, even by hi-tech companies. The situation has evolved very rapidly (like everything connected with technology, after all), investment has grown significantly and will continue to do so in the coming years. The PwC network, in its recent report significantly titled Seeing is believing estimated that global business from augmented and virtual reality technologies will reach $1.5 trillion by 2030. A figure supported by market research firm IDC Italy, which estimates $161 billion
ICON MY2022
ICON V2 Model Year 2022 is the new, versatile and high-performance version of ICON, the high-performance VTOL drone developed by PRO S3 srl of Turin, Italy. ICON MY2022 is the product born for multisensor aeromap operations. The aircraft, in fixed-wing VTOL configuration, takes off and lands vertically, transforming into an aircraft for efficient and optimized large-scale aeromapping operations . We have equipped ICON MY2022 with a sensor system (always configurable for customer needs) that surprises: RGB (visible light) aero-photogrammetric camera with 61 Mpx full frame sensor Two synchronized multispectral cameras with a total of 10 bands offering full compatibility with
EXCELLENT RESULTS FOR AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE MEETING
We attended the eighth Aerospace and Defense Meeting, in the large exhibition space of the Lingotto in Turin. The figures of the 2021 edition of this important exhibition dedicated to the best aerospace companies on the international scene confirm a success that went even beyond the organizers' forecasts: 1,300 participants visited the stands of the 600 companiesfrom 28 different nations. Of these 600 companies, 66 were from Piedmont, and among them, of course, was PRO S3. Over the three days of the meeting (Nov. 30-Dec. 2) there were more than 7,000 interactions between conferences, lectures and one-to-one presentations at the
ADM 2021 – TORINO LINGOTTO
AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE MEETING 2021 TORINO LINGOTTO, 30 NOV - 2 DEC 2021 (BOOTH #57) Pro S3 participates in the review of the leading Aerospace companies on the international scene. Big players meet with top SMEs to lay the groundwork for future and lasting partnerships. More information on the ADM2021 website.
VENTURE FIGHTS CORN BORER
The corn borer is a pest that causes severe damage to corn crops. In addition to the normal use of chemicals, the spread of the corn borer can be countered by an insect, its natural antagonist. This is the Trichogramma Brassicae, which by laying its eggs in the corn borer's eggs is able to counteract it in a completely natural way, in full compliance withorganic farming protocols. With Venture, a high-performance multirotor developed by Turin-based Pro S3 and equipped with the Trichodrop dispenser, it is now possible to treat up to 4 hectares per flight. Just fill Trichodrop with capsules
SMALL FOOTPRINT, HIGH PERFORMANCE: IT’S OUR WAVESIGHT
A concentration of technology in less than ten kilograms of weight thanks to its carbon frame, ready to take off even where there are no runways: this is our WaveSight, a remotely piloted aircraft that combines small footprint with very high performance. One of the most interesting features of WaveSight is precisely its takeoff, which takes place via an automatic catapult. In addition to releasing the operator from the burden of hand launching, it allows flight operations to be performed virtually anywhere, even in the absence of runways. Flight operations that can be prepared in times unimaginable until recently: WaveSight,
