Lehmann Aviation’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is now coming with a touch screen tablet functioning under Windows 8 Operating System.
The touch screen function on the Operation Centre v2.00 is a new software that immediately processes all flight data on a touch screen tablet, laptop or desktop PC.
The software makes it easier to take mission and control and geotag images to survey mining sites. All the user has to do to organise the flight is draw on a touch screen tablet on the area of interest, enter the waypoints and the operation centre will automatically produce missions and program the drone.
The user can then save the missions for future reference.
It will come with an advanced autopilot and navigation systems. At the end of the mission, the user can process all the images in the orthomosaic/DEM software to produce professional maps, orthomosaics and 3D models.
You can then replay the entire flight to analyse the flight path, log the flight time and other relevant information in an electronic logbook.
The Operation Centre is a software upgrade to LP960, a professional micro civil drone or an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The model is designed for a variety of civil applications including mining, geosciences, volume calculation, construction, mapping and agriculture.
The LP960 is professional unmanned aerial platform for generating geo-referenced orthomosaics and digital elevation models (DEM), along with high-resolution images (16Mp on a large APS-C sensor) and live video.
