Parazero

ParaZero Now Available at C3 Drones & Robotics

ParaZero is a world-leading provider of parachutes designed for Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS). C3 Drones and Robotics have proudly announced today the availability of ParaZero parachute systems as they are the perfect fit for clients wanting to get the most from their drone programs and increase safety.

ParaZero offers smart and effective solutions to address the industry’s safety challenges by designing best-in-class autonomous drone safety systems to keep bystanders on the ground safe and protect the drone against critical failures. They supply parachutes for the Mavic, Phantom, M300 and even have custom solutions to address your requirements.

SafeAir uses independent sensors to continuously monitor the drone’s flight data for anomalies. When critical failures are detected, a series of autonomous safety measures are triggered. These include:-

  • The patented parachute deployment mechanism opens to full canopy in fractions of a second.
  • The audio buzzer is activated to warn bystanders to move out of harm’s way (depending on the model).
  • The drone is brought safely to the ground with minimal impact energy.

How Does it Work?

In the event of a problem, ParaZero will cut power to the drone’s motors to avoid laceration injuries and entanglement in the parachute’s cords. It does this using a Flight Termination System (FTS). Once the power to the motors is cut, it will then deploy the parachute which is aided by a patented ballistic parachute launcher that can fully open the canopy in a fraction of a second. Then the system will sound an alarm that warns bystanders below about incoming danger from above giving them ample time to move out of harm’s way again depending on the model of the parachute installed. Your drone will then land safely with the use of the parachute.

Just like larger aircraft, the SafeAir system has a black box and in the event of a problem, a post-flight incident report is created so you can analyze what happened after your flight again depending on the model of ParaZero parachute installed.

ParaZero’s vision is to use the SafeAir drone safety technology to unlock the full potential of the commercial UAS industry through enhancing operational safety, mitigating risk, and enabling organizations to benefit from regulatory approvals for advanced UAS use cases, including drone delivery, operations over people, and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations.

Enterprise Drone Adoption for Industrial Security – (Flytbase White Paper)

The physical security market is one of the most compelling target segments for the commercial drone industry. As automation technology is adopted for industrial and commercial security, drone fleets will play a central role, given that they can be deployed autonomously, at scale. As drone regulations mature, security agencies, in particular, are expected to rapidly adopt drones to substantially reduce their operating costs, improve perimeter coverage & awareness, and equally important to minimize occupational, health & safety risks to human guards. Despite a variety of relevant use cases, the enterprise adoption of drones in this sector remains at the proof-of-concept and pilot stage; for production deployments to become widespread, three enablers are needed:
1 . Drone-in-a-box hardware that is cost-effective and yet reliable,
2. SaaS solutions that automate drones, are scalable and yet hardware-agnostic,
3. Integrated offerings that require low investment, & hence pay back in < 1 year.
For VLOS and EVLOS security operations, the drone-in-a-box requirement is less critical. Thus, security agencies, domain consultants, drone system integrators, managed service providers, and end users can all get started with off-the-shelf, prosumer-grade drones and existing SaaS offerings, and eventually add docking stations and charging pads to their autonomous drone security operations.

Regulation

To get the most from the adoption of an autonomous drone solution the dream is to have a remote command center (ROC) with pilots ready at a moment’s notice to mobilize the onsite drone to respond to a call to action or conduct scheduled surveillance sweeps of infrastructure or property. As such a beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) approval from a remote (ROC) must be sought from the regulator to allow for remote operations.  The good news is that approvals such as these have already been achieved by industry partners, Hover UAV in Australia. Such approvals allow for pilots to operate independently of the drone’s actual location allowing for valuable time-critical insights without the need for a physical presence onsite of any personnel.

If you are thinking of introducing autonomous drone operations to your workflow don’t hesitate to gain contact. At C3 Drones and Robotics, we have many hardware, software, and regulatory solutions and as such can tailor an entire package to get you operating BVLOS missions autonomously allowing for maximum return on investment bringing your business into the autonomous era.
