Hey, Crew!

Obviously, this video has been significantly delayed in its release. You have my apology for that, but I have been busy with several other projects – some of which must remain shrouded in mystery for the moment. However, here is one of them: https://a.co/d/aQnTS13, a coloring book for children entitled “DRONES: HOW THEY FLY” featuring Raven and Little Bird. Check it out! Now, on with the show!

In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speaks with Kelly Brodbeck, UAS Product Manager at Teledyne-FLIR about the company’s first in-house drone: SIRAS, developed for firefighters and other public safety officials who need a rugged and secure aerial imaging solution. The aircraft has an IP54 rating, no geofencing and zero Internet connectivity required to fly or even to update its firmware. This feature has been developed to ensure that the user’s data remains private and secure. Capable of flying for 31 minutes, it incorporates both visible light and thermal cameras on an interchangeable payload as well as radar for collision avoidance.
