Power Plant Inspections
Power plants (or power generating stations) produce electricity using fossil fuels, nuclear material, bio-materials, solar and wind energy. Protecting this essential infrastructure and continual inspection of assets to ensure optimal operational efficiency is essential and traditionally been carried out by manual security and operational patrols. With the increasing use of drone (UAS,RPAS) technology, inspections can be automated at multiple locations using remote pilots and visual observers. Accipiter Radar’s advanced detect & avoid (DAA) surveillance solutions provide Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) detection, tracking and alerting of local aviation aircraft, delivering timely awareness to remote drone pilots to initiate required go safe procedures. Our ground-based DAA surveillance solutions are intended for reduce the reliance on visual observers.
Transmission Line Inspections
High voltage power transmission lines are used for the transmission of electricity over long distances and an essential part of how we receive power to our communities and businesses. Ongoing maintenance requirements and damage as a result of weather and earthquakes require constant identification and inspection to facilitate rapid repair and energy distribution re-instatement. Using drones with high resolution cameras is a highly efficient method of carrying out these routine or unscheduled inspections. Accipiter Radar’s advanced detect & avoid (DAA) surveillance solutions provide Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) detection, tracking and alerting of local aviation aircraft, delivering timely awareness to remote drone pilots to initiate required go safe procedures. Our ground-based DAA surveillance solutions are intended for reduce the reliance on visual observers.
Substation Inspections
An electrical substation is an integral part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system, transforming power between the generating station and consumer. Electrical substations are located throughout rural and densely populated urban environment so require securing to prevent access to unauthorized people. The use of remotely operated drones (UAS) can carry out security, safety and operational functions, and the substation can act as convenient home for routine connected power line inspections. Accipiter Radar’s advanced detect & avoid (DAA) surveillance solutions provide Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) detection, tracking and alerting of local aviation aircraft, delivering timely awareness to remote drone pilots to initiate required go safe procedures. Our ground-based DAA surveillance solutions are intended for reduce the reliance on visual observers.
Pipeline Inspections
Pipeline are used for transportation of liquid or gas products over long distances, typically from production to refineries and on to consumer markets. Ensuring the integrity of this infrastructure is critical for security, safety and environmental protection. As the use of drones (UAS) becomes more widespread for carrying out remote inspections. Accipiter Radar’s advanced detect & avoid (DAA) surveillance solutions provide Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) detection, tracking and alerting of local aviation aircraft, delivering timely awareness to remote drone pilots to initiate required go safe procedures. Our ground-based DAA surveillance solutions are intended for reduce the reliance on visual observers.
Rail line Inspections
Around the world, cargo and people are moved across land using vast rail networks. This extensive infrastructure comprises of long distances of tracks, storage and loading/unloading yards and maintenance facilities require extensive monitoring for security, safety and required maintenance. Drones (UAS) with high resolution cameras and sensors provide actionable intelligence, leading to a more target approach for determining response and resource allocation. Accipiter Radar’s advanced detect & avoid (DAA) surveillance solutions provide Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) detection, tracking and alerting of local aviation aircraft, delivering timely awareness to remote drone pilots to initiate required go safe procedures. Our ground-based DAA surveillance solutions are intended for reduce the reliance on visual observers.
Ports
Ports are complex ecosystems of varied activities, managing scheduled international and domestic arrivals, departures, inspections, loading and unloading of passenger and cargo, storage and onward transportation by land or air. The increasing application of drones (UAS) to provide logistical support for operations, safety and site security inspection requires the use of radar systems for BVLOS detect and avoid to ensure safe operation. Accipiter Radar offers several engineered integrated surveillance solutions to support the safe use of drones, supporting harbormasters, port police, terminal operators and waterside industry, enhancing safety, security and risk management. Our ground-based DAA surveillance solutions are intended for reduce the reliance on visual observers.
