Kelluu Unmanned Airships Equipped with AgEagle’s RedEdge-P Multispectral Sensors Take Environmental and Critical Infrastructure Inspection and Monitoring to Entirely New Level in Finland
23 Agosto 2023 - 9:30AM
AgEagle
Aerial Systems
Inc. (NYSE American: UAVS) (“AgEagle” or the “Company”),
an industry-leading provider of full stack flight hardware,
sensors and software for commercial and government use, today
announced that
Kelluu Ltd., a
privately-owned Finnish company engaged in the design, manufacture
and operation of autonomous airships for aerial environmental and
critical infrastructure monitoring and surveillance, has chosen to
equip its growing fleet of unmanned airships with AgEagle’s high
performance RedEdge-P™ multispectral cameras for collection of high
quality images and sensor data.
Based in Joensuu, Finland, Kelluu has pioneered
low-emission, hydrogen-powered airships that can remain airborne
for more than 12 hours per mission. With its airships, Kelluu
offers commercial enterprises and government agencies with
data-as-a-service, specializing in monitoring and providing
real-time, actionable intelligence on power lines, roads and
railways, as well as surveilling and monitoring potential
environmental issues associated with forest lands and water bodies
across Finland – and soon across Central Europe.
Production of processed raw materials from
Finland’s forest lands into sawn wood and paper products is a EUR
15 billion a year market, making it one of the nation’s most vital
industries. According to the Finnish Forest Centre, more forest
lands were lost in 2022 due to spruce bark beetle infestations than
ever before in recorded history. On behalf of its client, the
National Land Survey Institute of Finland, Kelluu is leveraging use
of RedEdge-P’s high resolution, panchromatic imager for early
stress detection of forests caused by bark beetle infestation at
the green attack stage (when trees are yet to show distinct
symptoms observable by the human eye).
“Equipped with RedEdge-P, our unmanned airships
can fly for hours and surveil thousands of hectares of forest land
in a single mission, pinpointing precise locations of early bark
beetle infestation for immediate remediation by forestry management
companies. In addition to protecting surrounding forest lands from
large scale disturbances, Kelluu is now empowered to help save our
customers potentially millions of euros due to mitigation of
catastrophic tree losses. The RedEdge-P is a superb sensor and does
its job well,” stated Jiri Jormakka, Co-Founder and Chief Operating
Officer of Kelluu.
The RedEdge-P is just one of AgEagle’s leading
innovations in aerial multispectral sensor technology. A single
camera solution which is compatible with a wide array of unmanned
aerial systems (“UAS”) ranging from large fixed wing to small
multirotor to autopiloted airships, RedEdge-P captures
calibrated high-resolution multispectral and RGB imagery with an
optimized field of view and capture rate for efficient flights.
This solution seamlessly integrates a high resolution, all-color
imager with synchronized multispectral imagers to enable
pixel-aligned outputs at previously unattainable resolution.
Barrett Mooney, Chairman and CEO of AgEagle,
said, “We created the RedEdge-P to provide professionals with a
reliable and efficient way to capture radiometrically calibrated
RGB and multispectral data using leading UAS. We are very proud
that innovative companies, such as Kelluu, are recognizing the
value that AgEagle’s technological advancements were designed to
deliver.”
