UAV ENGINEER FOR OPTIMISATION OF FIREFIGHTING DRONE STABILISATION

Project description

Developing heavy-lift firefighting drones

The role of unmanned aircraft systems is expanding to include emergency fire services. Firefighting drone technology can reduce the risk to human life and support firefighting efforts when manned aircraft are grounded at night-time and in daytime periods of reduced visibility. Currently, the use of drones is limited to monitoring and data collection tasks mainly due to the lack of the necessary power to lift heavy loads. In this context, the EU-funded HOPPERSUP project will focus on the development, implementation and testing of an enhanced stabilisation control system for a new platform for heavy duty drones. The aim is to increase the drones’ payload capacity from 150 litres to 600 litres.
