The Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration purchased two ING Robotic Aviation’s Responder vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial system for research into systems integration and specific UAS applications.
The Arctic-proven aircrafts will come with gimbal stabilized camera systems with real-time visual and infrared capability and the possibility for 3-D and mosaicking imagery, a ground control system, and a two-week training package.
“After researching available systems that met our performance and payload integration requirements, we determined that the Responder was the best solution and actually exceeds our weather, robustness and payload lift requirements,” says Marty Rogers, director of ACUASI.
“ACUASI knows what they are doing,” says CEO and Chief Technology Officer of ING Robotic Aviation Ian Glenn. “They have a deep understanding of systems, payloads and applications. This is an organization that we are very interested in cooperating with, and it is an honor that they have selected Responder as their next system.”
