New ETSI Standard Enables Next Generation Emergency Services Communications
JOUAV unveiled its latest offering, the JOS-C2000 autonomous VTOL drone dock system, during the inauguration of JOUAV Tech Park. This groundbreaking product is designed to fully automate drone services, providing unparalleled efficiency and accuracy for remote missions.
"The JOS-C2000 system is a game-changer for the UAV industry," said Eric Lee, product manager of JOUAV. "With its modular design, advanced cloud management platform, and high-performance VTOL drone, it offers unparalleled reliability and precision for a wide range of applications."
The JOS-C2000 dock features a modular design that allows for customization to meet specific needs. It comes equipped with dual industrial air conditioning and an auxiliary heating system to maintain optimal temperature and humidity for the UAVs. The UPS power supply cabinet ensures uninterrupted operation in case of a power failure. The firefighting dual control system automatically senses temperature and releases extinguishing agents to ensure the safety of the equipment. The scissor lift platform, double airspeed tube self-test, and rotating landing platform guarantee the VTOL drone flies against the wind.
The CW-15X VTOL drone boasts impressive parameters, including a control distance of over 30km, a maximum cruising speed of 72km/h, and a maximum flight time of 100 minutes with a load. The drone is equipped with an intelligent binocular system and millimeter wave radar system to ensure the safety of UAV flight, as well as a ground relay network that offers a wider coverage area.
JOUAV's JoCloud cloud management platform is designed to manage the JOS-C2000 system and its drones. The platform offers 3D route planning, route task management, simultaneous control of multiple drones, map information labeling and sharing, full dynamic video application, and AI recognition algorithms. Additionally, the system generates a detailed electronic flight report after each UAV flight.
The JOS-C2000 autonomous VTOL drone dock system has found widespread use in power line inspection throughout China. One key application involves placing the dock in the substation and equipping the CW-15X with an MG-120E gimbal camera featuring 30x visible light zoom and a 640x512 thermal imaging sensor. This allows for the inspection of transmission lines and towers within a 100km radius around the substation.
In flight tests, the CW-15X can cover a transmission channel bandwidth of around 300m at a height of 150m-200m, and can effectively detect and locate hidden dangers such as illegal construction, illegal buildings, and hanging objects. Moreover, the CW-15X can hover around towers to check for major defects like missing insulators, missing shock hammers, tilted towers, missing spacers, and bird's nests.
The CW-15X also comes equipped with a 1430m long-range JoLiDAR-120 LiDAR sensor. During our test, the CW-15X can inspect and scan no less than 30km of transmission and distribution lines in a single sortie, with 3-4 sorties per day and a maximum daily range of 120km. The scanning accuracy can reach ±3cm.
"By using the JOS-C2000 system, we can reduce the inspection time of a 500kV substation from three days to just one, and the inspection time of transmission lines from five days to two," said Mark Liu, general project manager from China Power Grid. "It has significantly improved our efficiency and reduced our costs."
In addition to power grid inspections, the JOS-C2000 autonomous VTOL drone dock system has a range of other applications, including traffic monitoring, dam inspections, mine operations, oil and gas pipeline inspections, border patrols, and smart cities.
"We believe that the JOS-C2000 system will revolutionize the way we use UAVs for a wide range of applications," said Eric Lee, product manager of JOUAV. "It offers unparalleled efficiency, precision, and reliability, making it an ideal solution for any organization that relies on UAV technology."
