BREVE DESCRIZIONE DEL PROGETTO

An airship filled with Helium gas
lighter than air
self controlled/remote
completely autonomous from ground direct piloting flying 24h for 7 days a week without landing
able to transmit live_feed streaming of videos and images day and night

DESCRIZIONE DETTAGLIATA DEL PROGETTO

WeDrone is an airship that flies for several days unattended, carrying 100 kgs of net payload, at an altitude up to 10,000 feet (3,00 meters).
It is a more flexible, efficient and by far less expensive alternative to satellite sensoring and imagery.
It flies longer, further, higher than commercial drones and it carries more cameras, active sensors, radars and radio repeaters than any civilian drone, at a fraction of the cost (purchase and flying hours) of a military drone.
It is self-recharging wit photovoltaic panels, it flies autonomously, it does not need take- off or landing strips, and can be controlled by satellite transmission from anywhere in the world or locally within 250km range.
It is carried in a pick-up’s trailer and can be assembled and airborne in approx 30 minutes.
It is fully electrical, uses the sun to recharge, is very silent, it is a sustainable flying platform that can be used for several different tasks thanks to the flexibility of use of its pod system.
It is patented, lab tests verified, fully defined in its technological and construction aspects.

ELEMENTI DI INNOVAZIONE

1) can fly for several days with electric motors and PV cells for re-charging without any pilot
2) can carry up to 100kgs of sensors, cameras, radio repeaters, 5G cellular phone broadcast antennas
3) flight hour costs only a fraction of the comparable systems (large fixed wing drones with pilot and satellites)

CUSTOMER NEEDS

All customers who need to gather data from a flying platform over time (days or weeks) with high quality output and very low costs.
Customers who need to follow up situations on the ground (smart city management, natural disaster management, city planning, large agricultural estates, wildfires management)

BUSINESS MODEL

Drone sales
Long/short term drone lease
Full data acquisition service for customers with our drone
Big Data analysis, storage and delivery

SCALABILITY & REPLICABILITY

Our project can be both scaled up or scaled down in size and specifications to adjust to customers needs.
At the core of the project is the scalability of the three main elements:
– airship envelop
– connecting frame
– pod with all avionics, electronics, sensors, batteries

SVILUPPO SOSTENIBILE

The project answers several points in the 17 UN goals for sustainability.
In addition it makes use of photovoltaic panels and batteries to be fully autonomous and solar powered.
