On September 8, 2023, the Eye in the Sky project participated in the Naval REX’23 – Naval Robotics Exercise 2023, at the Navy’s Operational Experimentation Center (CEOM) in Tróia.
In this Technological Free Zone, and on board NRP Sines, 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 visible range and in real-time to a control station at the NRP Sines.
This test allowed us to validate the solution once again and demonstrate its potential for use in other scenarios besides forest monitoring, such as ocean surveillance.
A special thanks to the Portuguese Navy, the Naval Academy and NRP Sines for the opportunity.
