Last week some of our UAS team members went for a training on the new Quantum System Trinity Pro and its various sensors. A full day of theoretical and practical training on the new system got our colleagues prepared for upcoming field missions. The Trinity Pro is our second VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) beside the Wingtra. The VTOL systems have a great advantage to cover larger areas while still being capable of starting and landing on rather small sites. Our copters will still be used for various mountainous or forested sites where we have more challenging launching sites. We are very much looking forward to cover large areas with multi-spectral and other environmental information in the forthcoming months.
