DJI recently released an impressive video showcasing their Flycart 30 drone cleaning litter from Mount Everest. The film highlights the drone’s ability to operate in harsh conditions and its role in assisting Sherpas in clearing rubbish left by climbers. This effort not only reduces environmental impact but also minimises the risks faced by Sherpas. The video reveals staggering statistics, such as 6,664 summit attempts leaving behind tonnes of rubbish, and emphasises the life-saving potential of drone technology in these dangerous tasks.

What a great use case for a phenomenal piece of kit.
However, The DJI FlyCart 30 is not just a drone; it's a robust aerial platform designed for serious logistics. Here’s what stands out;
☑️ High Capacity Payload. Capable of carrying up to 40kg, the FlyCart 30 can transport heavy loads that previously required ground vehicles or larger aircraft. This makes it ideal for delivering supplies to remote or inaccessible areas, supporting emergency services, and even facilitating e-commerce in urban settings (and ⛰️ environments).
☑️ Versatile Transport Modes. The FlyCart 30 offers multiple delivery methods. In Cargo mode, it securely transports goods within a built-in compartment. In Winch mode, it can lower packages to precise locations, making it perfect for drop-offs in tight or hazardous spaces where landing isn’t feasible.
☑️ Integrated Parachute System. Safety is a top priority, which includes an integrated parachute. This feature ensures that in the event of a malfunction, the drone and its cargo can descend safely, minimising damage and risk to people below.
These capabilities make the DJI FlyCart 30 a game-changer for industries ranging from logistics and healthcare to disaster response and infrastructure maintenance. Its ability to deliver vital supplies to hard-to-reach areas can save lives and streamline operations in ways that were previously unimaginable.
On the flip side we have;
Nefarious Actors.
The same features that make the FlyCart 30 a logistical workhouse could be exploited for malicious reasons.
⚠️ Smuggling and Contraband Delivery. The high payload capacity and precision delivery capabilities could easily be leveraged for illegal activities, such as smuggling contraband into secure facilities or across borders. Its ability to transport substantial weight and navigate challenging environments makes it a potentially effective tool for evading traditional security measures. (Caveat) Although, this would like not be the best asset to risk on such an operation.
⚠️ Surveillance. Equipped with sophisticated navigation systems, the FlyCart 30 could be used for covert operations. Its ability to carry various payloads means it could be outfitted with advanced camera equipment, posing a significant risk to privacy and security.
⚠️Weaponisation. There is a disturbing potential for drones with high payload capacities to be used for delivering hazardous materials or even weapons. The precise delivery capabilities that make it ideal for humanitarian and commercial uses could also be adapted for dangerous applications, presenting a significant security challenge.
Although offering numerous benefits, they must be taken with a health warning. Get in touch @ Shield UAS Solutions to understand your threats and vulnerabilities.

We took the #multinnov#Stereo 2 into some very hard to reach places and it gave a great performance. It’s amazing how such a small drone simplifies the task that would normally involve hours of very unsafe work and doing it in just a couple of minutes.
Inspections have never been easier and much safer. Of course safety comes first in our line of work so we had to come up with a contingency plan 😄(rope to pull out the drone) in case of failure.

We're embracing what3words in our daily drone operations…
Site access points, parking locations, areas of danger and Specific Points of Interest. These are just a few examples of how #W3W is streamlining our time spent on site.
Last week, we mapped a 65 Hectare site. The client also asked us to concentrate on 17 other specific areas of interest that we identified, cross referenced and marked up with W3W locators making it a breeze on site gather further data at specific locations.
The reality of surveying large areas of land with drones is that, on screen in the office doing your pre planning, the site looks great and all your flight route is loaded, ready for on site deployment. However, when you arrive on these huge sites, getting orientated and understanding where boundaries are, where danger spots are, where specific POIs are. It can be quite overwhelming at first glance.
Planning is everything...
#what3words is a game changer
Drone spray in pigeon pea field
Benifits of Drone spray :-
1)larger areas are covered per day compared to traditional sprayers. 2)Substantial water savings, up to 80-90%, depending on the drone's sprayer system.
3) Large plant height drone spray are effective
If you're in the #drone space, congratulations for being on the cutting edge! Commercial drones have proven to be a phenomenally transformational technology capable of completely changing the status quo of some industries and creating entirely new ones.
As with any new market, commercial drone work comes with its challenges. Aside from the tricky regulatory environment, there are inherent risks drone companies and operators have to consider. Does your company have a #plan for all #PR possibilities that come with flying #robots?
Escalate has been working with commercial drone companies since 2015 and has deep experience from #crisiscommunications to #regulatoryaffairs, survey and inspection, #insurance, #dronedelivery, and everything in between--even drones that help vineyards make better wine! Our expertise includes the Commercial Drone Alliance, Wing, PrecisionHawk, VineRangers, SkySafe, Sustainable Skylines, DroneUp, and more.
Talk with us if you're already using #dronesforgood or just getting into the space. We'd love to share what we know!
We have been interested in seeing how this technology has progressed into a feasible working solution which removes an operative from having to go over the side of a facade to clean windows.
The CDM Regulations 2015, Principles of Prevention lists a hierarchy of measures, with one being - to replace the dangerous with the non-dangerous or the less dangerous.
As part of the design risk management process, we would within a CDM Principal Designer or CDM Advisor to the PD role challenge the access and maintenance strategy to ensure we can demonstrate those Principles of Prevention have been applied and can be evidenced through the Master Design Risk Register.
So we potentially have another tool to consider before a Davit Arm system and the issues they bring for a tenant or landlord to manage. How up-to-date is that Technical File for the Davit Arm!

It was an absolute pleasure to be able to demonstrate our KTV Working Drone system to Landsec at their HQ in London recently. The day was well attended and the feedback from all parties was fantastic. The continuing advancements we are making to our KTV Working Drone means we can work higher, safer and more efficiently than ever before.
Please drop us a line to find out more about our drone cleaning system.

Drone monitoring to identify any changes of the site conditions.
Airborne monitoring should be implemented on site to know any pollution potential that can happen on site.
It is advisable for EO to know how to handle the drone piloting to increase the monitoring area around the site.

As the US tightens regulations on CCP-related drone tech, what does this mean for Canadian drone enthusiasts and professionals?
We asked ourselves this question and answered it in our most recent clip. Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/e_7c86NW#TechPolicy#DroneRegulation#CanadianInnovation

5moThis is a great use of such tech. I wonder if in time, this can support casualty Evacs as well.
