IR-LOCK demonstrates precision landing on a boat
IR-LOCK demonstrated repeated automated drone landings onto an infrared target placed on a stationary boat.
Evidence notes
- The test used IR-LOCK angle-to-target sensing with APM:Copter precision-landing control code.
- Five consecutive landings demonstrated target reacquisition and position correction during descent.
- The company reported MarkOne beacon detection beyond 15 metres and no false detections in the demonstrated environment.
Company context
IR-LOCK supplies infrared precision-landing sensors, beacon kits and UAV accessory hardware. Its precision-landing kit is built for attaching an IR-LOCK sensor to a UAV and placing a MarkOne beacon at the landing target.
