JOUAV’s Smart VTOL Hangar
The VTOL Hangar System offers all of the features that remote operations require. The integration of BeiDou and GPS positioning systems empowers the VTOL system with autonomous return and safe landing capabilities, even in the absence of GNSS signals.
The JOS-C2000 hangar features automatic charging functionalities. Upon mission completion, the UAV seamlessly returns to the hangar for automatic charging, minimizing manual intervention and maximizing operational efficiency.
The C2000 supports adaptive real-time operations, with flexible route planning options, including linear, regional, and orthogonal modes, coupled with customizable waypoints and 3D route planning. Additionally, the system adapts to wind conditions, ensuring stability during takeoff.
“We’ve engineered the VTOL Hangar System to be more than just a drone. It’s a holistic solution that integrates seamlessly into industry workflows,” explained Eric. “Its adaptability, coupled with intelligent features, ensures unparalleled performance.”
JOUAV’s commitment to safety is reflected in every aspect of the VTOL Hangar System:
Obstacle Avoidance: Equipped with millimeter-wave radar and vision-assisted positioning systems, the UAV can automatically detect and avoid obstacles during landing, ensuring a secure landing, even in challenging environments.
Redundancy and Uninterrupted Operations: Integrated RTK positioning and visual recognition landing technology guarantee precise landings. In the event of power failures, a built-in UPS ensures continuous operation for over 4 hours, offering uninterrupted mission completion.
Comprehensive Monitoring: The hangar features a robust surveillance system, including cameras and various sensors, monitoring weather, temperature, humidity, and real-time tracking of the base station and UAV’s operating status. These measures ensure operational safety and reliability.
“Safety is non-negotiable in the drone industry. Our VTOL Hangar System incorporates multiple layers of safety checks to ensure every mission is conducted with utmost precision and reliability,” Eric told the crowd.
