The Eye in the Sky project participated on May 31, 2023 in ARTEX’23 – ARmy Technological EXperimentation 2023, at the Santa Margarida Military Camp, in the municipality of Constância.
In this exercise, organized by the Portuguese Army, it was possible to test and demonstrate the ability to launch a flying wing from another aircraft (in this case a multirotor to replace the balloon proposed in the project), as well as the transmission of video acquired throughout the flight in the range visible in real-time to a ground control station.
This test allowed us to validate for the first time a simplified version of the concept and demonstrate its potential for use in forest monitoring.
A special thank you to the Army Portuguese for the opportunity.
