Overview

The concept

A development concept for a pair of drones carrying a net between them, studied as an active layer that complements fixed systems within an integrated detection setup. Any operation remains subject to human decision, civil aviation permits and local regulations.

Proposed purpose

To explore the role of a movable active layer at sites that are hard to cover with permanent protection.

Introductory details

Applications, components and considerations

Potential applications

■  Open areas on large sites

■  Temporary reinforcement during elevated-risk periods

■  Sites where permanent structures are not possible

Components (overview level)

■  Multi-rotor flight platforms

■  Light, high-strength net

■  Enclosed hangar with automatic charging

■  Link to detection with human approval

Integration & maintenance

■  Civil aviation permits before any operation

■  Weather limits, with fixed systems as backup

■  Operator training and routine equipment maintenance

■  Subject to feasibility study and independent testing

Note: Images and models are conceptual visualisations for presentation and development purposes. Any actual application is subject to engineering study, testing and the required approvals.

Discuss this concept for your project

The concept serves as a starting point for discussion; the suitable solution is defined after a site study, testing and the necessary approvals.
