They own intellectual property in the form of designs and trademarks. \u201cWe have been doing a good amount of deep tech work in terms of hardware, software, data analytics,\u201d he shared.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aereo currently manufactures two types of drones \u2013 multicopter and hybrid \u2013 designed specifically for mapping and surveying, largely autonomously. \u201cThis means there is no active joystick-based piloting required,\u201d Vipul explained. Their multicopter bird can cover about 250 acres in a single 40-minute flight, and even withstand harsh conditions &#8211; such as extremely cold temperatures, high winds, hilly areas, and heat in scorching hot desert regions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To date, the team has mapped 7 million acres, comprising more than 500 opencast mines across over 50 cities. They are currently mapping an area of 60,000 square kilometers for the Karnataka government.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/44e2foi\">Drones are immensely valuable for digitizing land records<\/a>. Collecting high-quality, accurate data at a significantly higher speed and less cost increases employment opportunities as this endeavor requires many skilled drone pilots. Moreover, accurate digital records of properties will enable farmers and their families to receive financial services from banks, settle property disputes, and increase their overall asset value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One of the main challenges Aereo is encountering is the lack of drone talents. Vipul shared there is a notable absence of a curriculum focused on drone building.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To tackle this, Aereo signed an MoU with SJC Institute of Technology to open a Centre of Excellence. \u201cWe felt that it is our responsibility as a company to share our requirements and also help create a curriculum which can ensure that when people go through that curriculum, they are ready to serve in a fast-paced technical ecosystem,\u201d he said.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Through the program, Aereo wants to train the youth, especially in rural parts of the country, and provide them with employment opportunities. \u201cThe aim is to train somewhere between 400-500 drone pilots every year,\u201d Vipul revealed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full interview <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3pKajOM\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drones beyond defense<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4260,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[568],"class_list":["post-4259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-aereo"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
