Applications

The Development Team of Steadicopter is working simultaneously on various platforms, to ensure that the final system will answer specific requirements of various markets and applications, in terms of size, payload, range, flight-duration and performance capabilities. This is an important issue for the marketing strategy of Steadicopter, since it enables the application of the technology on manned helicopters as well, as a pilot assistance system.

During the following two years, Steadicopter intends to concentrate on commercial models for the market sectors described above.

Law enforcement surveillance

Inspecting a situation from above is an invaluable tool to law enforcement officials. A specially designed, Steadicopter equipped helicopter would act as a “virtual pole” in the air, hovering over a designated point. The craft would relay back to the command post high-resolution images of a crime or riot scene or serve as a temporary rely station.

High voltage line inspection

Electric companies the world over commission the services of manned helicopter companies to conduct missions such as line inspections, insulators wash down and detection of thermographic problems. The drawbacks include risk to pilots, helicopters, lines and equipment; limitations due to craft size (can't fly under lines or in high density building zones); rotor turbulence and high costs, and can be solved by the use of unmanned systems.

In addition, the Company intends to enter three additional sectors, and remain open for new niches and opportunities that will rise with time.

Media coverage

Taping of live events (sporting events, rock concerts or breaking news) while hovering just above the scene could very effectively be covered using reliable UAVs operated by the reporter on the scene—for less cost and with less danger to people in the vicinity.

Agricultural markets

Effective monitoring of crops for disease, insect infestation and weed control are crucial factors in agro-business profitability. Steadicopter equipped UAVs offer an efficient solution for scanning and monitoring large fields effectively.

Military Applications

Mine detection, stealth surveillance, and search and rescue missions in inaccessible locations, as well as other tailored made applications.
