News and Technology - UASs

Historically, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have been used for military applications and have been limited to drone-type crafts controlled remotely.  Today, UASs are increasingly being used for civil applications where there is a need for secure, controlled and mobile surveillance, and has expanded to include autonomous flight systems rather than the classically remote-controlled crafts.

IdeaForge Technology Pvt. Ltd. is a Mumbia, India based company specializing in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and alternative energy products.  IdeaForge launched its latest product, The CARBON ™, at the INDESEC Expo 2009, which took place last October in New Delhi, India.

CARBON^TM is a completely autonomous hovering Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ideal for short-range missions and requires very short training time. Its intuitive point and click graphical user interface requires minimal user assistance allowing the user to concentrate on the mission objective rather than the flying of the vehicle. Its quick deployment time and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) ability expand its usage to confined areas of operation. It finds application in Anti-terrorist operations, Counter-insurgency in forested areas, Hostage situations, Border infiltration monitoring, Local law enforcement operations, Search and Rescue operations, Disaster management, Aerial Photography and more.
