GDU Launches SAGA: The Infrared, Open Platform Industrial Drone At CES 2019
January 8, 2019
Lightweight, compact industrial drone with a state-of-the-art open
platform and infrared camera, 39 minutes of flight time, and capable of
reaching ascent speeds of 5m/s and flight speeds of 15m/s
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GDU, developer of portable, powerful, professional drones, launches its
all-new multi-purpose industrial drone, the GDU SAGA, at CES 2019 in Las
Vegas on 8 – 11 January, 2019 at Tech East, LVCC, South Halls 1-2,
Ground Level, booth 25752.
GDU’s SAGA boasts to fit any payload you need to do your job and this
drone beast can carry a load of up to 2.2lbs. GDU SAGA includes a HD 4K
camera, both a 10X and 30X optical zoom camera, and quality infrared
camera. The open platform empowers businesses to customize their own
designs, software, payload and computing of the open-platform for a
truly unique and exclusive experience.
GDU SAGA’s infrared camera is unrivaled. GDU has secured an unobstructed
supply-chain for all of its cutting edge infrared technology that has
been tested time and time again. Wind resistant and rainproof, not only
is the infrared camera incredibly accurate resulting in balanced and
reliable images but it can also detect heat signatures between -20°K and
150 °K with a 20mK NETD (800 X 600 resolution, 50Hz frame rate).
With an automatic focus button and dedicated micro-focus combined with
the adjustable contrast and brightness functionality, the infrared
camera creates the most realistic images known to drone technology,
today. World-class gimbal orientation enables users to change
perspectives quickly, making it ideal for multi-purpose industrial
performance.
SAGA also has three flight modes: Standard GPS mode, Sports GPS mode,
and Altitude mode where it retains its 15m/s maximum speed while the GPS
and visual ultrasonic system are switched from positioning to altitude
stabilization.
During the demonstration, the GDU team will fly its new SAGA drone
around a cage at the booth, while demoing its state-of-the-art infrared
sensors stabilized by a 3-axis gimbal. The GDU team will show SAGA’s
infrared capabilities by revealing hidden objects behind a screen.
