E hoʻomaka ana ka World Wildlife Fund e hoʻāʻo i kahi polokalamu kiaʻi drone hou ma Namibia i ka mahina aʻe e manaʻo nei e hoʻonohonoho i ka ʻikepili mai ka lewa a me ka ʻāina e hāʻawi i ka poʻe mākaʻi i kahi ʻoi ma luna o nā poachers, e like me Crawford Allan, Luna Hoʻokele o ka papahana TRAFFIC North America.

"He mea maikaʻi loa ia no ka pale ʻana i nā holoholona hihiu a me nā mākaʻi," wahi a Allan. “E ʻike kākou i kahi o nā holoholona; ka (drone) e hoʻokuʻu i ka wahi i ka mana o ka honua, a hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoneʻe i nā mākaʻi ma ka honua e komo i waena o nā holoholona a hana i kahi pale. ʻIke mākou i kēia ma ke ʻano he umbrella o ka ʻenehana. "

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Crawford, ʻo ia ka manawa mua i hoʻohana ʻia ia ʻano ʻenehana i ke kula. He papahana ʻekolu makahiki ia ma ʻelua mau kahua ma ʻApelika (ke kūkākūkā ʻia ka lua) a ʻelua ʻelua ma Asia. Kākoʻo ʻia ka papahana e kahi hāʻawi kālā US $5 miliona mai Google Global Impact Awards. ʻO ka hopena ka pahuhopu e hoʻohana i ka ʻenehana kelepona (GSM) e hoʻopili ai i nā mokulele drone.

Ua hana pū kekahi pūʻulu i kapa ʻia ʻo Conservation Drones me nā mea noiʻi kūʻokoʻa ma 15 a 20 mau wahi a puni ka honua e kōkua iā lākou e ʻimi maikaʻi i nā holoholona hihiu a hoʻomohala i ka ʻike e hiki ke kōkua iā lākou e hoʻōki i ka poaching. Ua hana lākou i ka nānā ʻana i nā rhino ma kahi paka aupuni ma Nepal a helu i nā pūnana orangutan ma nā ululāʻau paʻapū o Sumatra, Indonesia.

ʻO nā Conservation Drones he mau kaʻa lewa kūʻokoʻa, kūʻokoʻa a hoʻohana ʻia no ka nānā ʻana a me ka palapala ʻāina i nā ululāʻau a me nā mea olaola. Hiki i nā mea ʻenehana ʻole ke hoʻolālā i kēlā me kēia misionari ma ka wehewehe ʻana i nā ala ala ma ke ala lele me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi polokalamu open-source.

Hiki i nā Conservation Drones ke lele i nā mikiona i hoʻonohonoho mua ʻia me ka autonomously no ka manawa holo holo a hiki i 50 mau minuke a ma kahi mamao o 25 km. Ma muli o ka ʻōnaehana kamera i hoʻokomo ʻia, hiki i kēia mau drones ke hoʻopaʻa i nā wikiō a hiki i ka 1080 pixel resolution, a loaʻa nā kiʻi lewa o <10 cm pixel resolution. Hiki ke humuhumu ʻia nā kiʻi lewa no ka hana ʻana i nā palapala ʻāina i hoʻohana ʻia i ka manawa maoli no nā wahi i nānā ʻia. Manaʻo ʻia he mana nui nā Conservation Drones no nā noi kaiapuni a me ka mālama ʻana, ʻo ia hoʻi ka palapala ʻāina kokoke i ka manawa maoli o ka uhi ʻāina kūloko, ka nānā ʻana i nā hana ululāʻau ʻae ʻole, a me ka nānā ʻana i nā ʻano holoholona nui.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

The World Wildlife Fund will start testing a new drone surveillance program in Namibia next month that aims to coordinate data from the air and ground to give park rangers an edge over poachers, according to Crawford Allan, Director of the Fund's TRAFFIC North America project.
The (drone) relays the location to ground control, and you can mobilize rangers on the ground to get in between the animals and form a shield.
The Conservation Drones are able to fly pre-programmed missions autonomously for a total flight time of up to 50 minutes and over a distance of 25 km.
