Contoh Imej Pesawat Ringan- Terbang lebih tinggi – kawasan liputan lebih meluas- Tambah Nilai – Muatan - Multi spectrum camera, LIDAR, 3D Camera etc- Tertakluk kebenaran penerbangan (DCA)- Kepakaran yang kurang - kos perolehan dan pengendalian yang tinggi.

Military to Civilian

Potential of UAVCivilian UAV Development

Wikipedia..An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV; also known as a remotely piloted vehicle or RPV, or Unmanned Aircraft System(UAS)) is an aircraft that flies without a human crew on board the aircraft. Their largest uses are in military applications. To distinguish UAVs from missiles, a UAV is defined as a reusable, uncrewedvehicle capable of controlled fromthousand miles away

Mini UAV

HALE, MALE UAV

UAV, More than 1 mil. flight hours in Afghanistan and Iraq (2009)Future of war is unmanned / robotic

Handheld 2,000 ft (600 m) altitude, about 2 km range Close 5,000 ft (1,500 m) altitude, up to 10 km range

NATO type 10,000 ft (3,000 m) altitude, up to 50 km range

Tactical 18,000 ft (5,500 m) altitude, about 160 km range

MALE (medium altitude, long endurance) up to 30,000 ft (9,000 m) and range over 200 km

HALE (high altitude, long endurance) over 30,000 ft and indefinite range

HYPERSONIC high-speed, supersonic (Mach 1-5) or hypersonic (Mach 5+) 50,000 ft (15,200 m) or suborbital altitude, range over 200km

Potential civilian UAV Applications

• Property management / Monitoring– Feasibility / Planning study– Progress monitoring– Enforcement

• Agriculture– Vegetation monitoring– Variable rate application

• Emergency Response / Disaster Management– Search and rescue– Hot spot identification

• Environmental Monitoring– Riparian assessment– Hydrocarbon (oil) spills

Geo Sense Sdn. Bhd

Possible Applications

• Utility Monitoring– Pipeline and electrical transmission line

inspection• Law Enforcement

– Situation awareness during sensitive situations, e.g. hostage takings

– Grow operations• Many, many more!

Unmanned Remote SensingSharing experience

What is Air Sense(bro. cut d bull, run d video)

• Aerial photography on demand

• Malaysia comprehensive high resolution aerial imagery platform

• Visualization - valuable resource & record of how the landscape has changed over time.

• Development of 3D Geo Spatial Database

• Complementing eGovernment initiative & various applications

• Better decision making – in planning, investment, enforcement

Why we choose a UAV?

• Fly below cloud, clearer image resolution• On Demand - Flexible deployment.• less investment compare with traditional

aircraft• Less operating cost vs traditional• Precision – GPS guided eliminates putting

people in harms way• Future Technology – evolving • Barrier of entry
