Intel has rolled out a commercial-grade unmanned aerial vehicle system for North American markets during the 2016 INTERGEO drone conference in Hamburg, Germany.
Josh Walden, senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s new technology group, wrote in an editorial published Tuesday that the Intel Falcon 8+ system consists of the company’s Falcon 8+ UAV, Cockpit mobile ground station and Powerpack battery.
He added the drone is also designed with full electronic system redundancy and automated aerial-sensing tools as well as onboard sensors and triple-redundant AscTec Trinity autopilot.
Intel Falcon 8+ builds on the AscTec Falcon 8 drone system that Intel’s German subsidiary Ascending Technologies markets to the European industrial sector, according to Walden.
