MEDIA ALERT
Alta Devices To Describe How To Enable Commercial Unmanned Vehicles To Fly All Day Long Using Its Solar Technology
Very Light and Flexible Solar Material can Change the Economics of Using UAVs for Precision Agriculture, Land Surveying, Fire, Safety, and Many Other Applications
What |
Alta Devices (www.altadevices.com) will describe how the longevity of flight and economics of using commercial UAVs will be dramatically different because of its unique solar technology. Alta can enable small UAVs to fly all day long under the sun because it offers the highest efficiency broadly available solar technology at 28.8%. |

Why |
According to experts, efficiency and endurance are the holy grail for unmanned systems. Enabling all-day flight times for small UAVs will change the game for civil use and represents a significant market opportunity. For example, when a UAV is used to map a wildfire, or on a human search and rescue mission, it is critical to have flight times that are as long as possible. And for agricultural use, the ability to extend the range of a UAV and shorten the task of monitoring a large area by avoiding stops to recharge, has significant economic benefit to the farming community. According to a report published by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), precision agriculture and public safety represent over 90% of the potential for civil UAS use and will result in an economic benefit to the United States of 82 billion dollars between 2015 and 2025. |
