How can I determine if the thermal imaging camera on the drone is sensitive enough to detect fire sources when purchasing?

At SkyRover, we know that missing a smoldering ember during a test flight is a nightmare. You need certainty, not just a heat map, when lives and property are at stake. To determine sensitivity, verify the Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) is below 50mK for detecting subtle heat variances. Ensure the resolution is at least […]
Do I need to purchase a firefighting drone with night vision capabilities, and how much will this increase the cost?

At SkyRover, we often see clients hesitate over budget allocation, risking operational failure during critical night missions because they underestimate the darkness of a smoke-filled fire scene. (27 words) Yes, night vision is crucial for 24/7 readiness, allowing pilots to navigate smoke and locate hotspots in total darkness. Adding high-resolution thermal imaging typically increases the […]
How Should I Evaluate the Performance of a Firefighting Drone’s Obstacle Avoidance System in Complex Smoky Environments?

At SkyRover, we know that thick smoke blinds standard sensors, risking crashes during critical rescues. You need a system that sees what pilots cannot to ensure mission success. To evaluate performance, test sensor fusion capabilities across varying smoke densities using the obscuration per meter metric. Verify that the drone integrates Millimeter-Wave Radar and thermal imaging […]
