Introducing our new UAVSmartTag™

Now giving the UAV operator the ability to tag sensors from
a height of over 250 ft. sending the data to our main
platform which also includes access to the mobile app.

Each data tag can be customized with information regarding
each item such as a UXO, IED, Landmine etc. Operators and
sweepers can also wear the “wearable tag” with their photo
and details on record. Now their location can be updated
by live UAV flights.

The operator can now tag 100’s of items including personnel
per UAV flight and give their exact location. Each UAVSmartTag™
can also send sensor data such as temperature, humidity etc.

The UAVSmartTag™ can be integrated and fitted to most
professional grade UAV’s such as DJI, 3DR and most
Customized UAV’s.

Battery life of over 1 year (1 second report interval)!

Using UAS as a Service™ we can now bring the UAVSmartTag™
into the Internet of Things (IoT) community. By 2020 there
will be 50 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Another AWESOME post Kevin Hanrahan: http://khanrahan.com/2012/11/05/chuck-2-landmines-0-luckily/ When we last left Sergeant Noah Carpenter he was staring intently at a darkened spot of dirt on the ground. What initially caught his interest was that the dirt wasn’t the same color as the rest.

If you missed any prior piece of this story click on the Chuck and Noah tag below. They will all come up.

This is the actual spot where Chuck alerted.
It could be nothing. What sent spikes of fear down his spine was that his Military Working Dog, Chuck the Natural, locked on that spot and refused to move. The Belgian Malinois was an unruly puppy with an incredible nose.The Natural loved to work and find explosives

EOD and Search tasks are team events. The role of the Search dogs and their handlers cannot be underestimated.

This weekends Crufts has got us thinking back to when hero dog Buster won the 'Friend for Life' award.

Buster survived five tours of duty, braving bombs and bullets. He returned home a military hero after saving countless lives by sniffing out explosives.

They say that dogs are a man's best friend, but there are few that would have put their lives on the line like Buster.
