AI Powered Hardware to Enhance UAV Capabilities

They sought to challenge the small autonomous unmanned vehicles that are inexpensive, deployed rapidly and go easily undetected. Vizgard’s consistent research and development has led to the creation of Fortifai; the fastest way to implement AI-powered autonomy in security and surveillance systems, and the very software that AIRLink by Sky-Drones uses for its artificial intelligence.

AIRLink quite literally stands for Artificial Intelligence and Remote Link. Part of the Sky-Drones’ mission was to create the base point of an ecosystem for all UAV operations by designing and manufacturing the flight control unit that works off LTE connectivity with a built-in AI mission computer, a.k.a AIRLink. With the added elements from Vizgard’s Fortifai, Sky-Drones excelled above and beyond the original brief and on to new heights in the UAS industry.

Fortifai built into AIRLink allows Sky-Drones and Vizgard users to augment surveillance, unmanned and counter-unmanned systems. Think object detection and tracking, license plate reading, image stabilisation and precision drone landing by optically tracking landing zones. Operating in a huge variety of industry sectors including public safety, border control, agriculture and wildlife, drone delivery, surveillance, security and defence, Sky-Drones and Vizgard have provided their joint customer base with an industry-leading solution to control and detect via UAVs.
