Redkite sensor test on drone steams imagery to handhelds

Logos Technologies has completed a second test flight of its Redkite wide-area sensor aboard an Insitu Integrator UAV.

An earlier test demonstrated that the Redkite could successfully fly aboard an Integrator. The second test confirmed that Redkite could capture stabilized, wide-area motion imagery and stream it to multiple hand-held devices on the ground, according to a Logos news release.

"Back in February, we worked with Insitu to demonstrate that Redkite could handle the launch and in-flight characteristics of Integrator," Logos President John Marion said. "Now, we confirmed that Redkite captures, renders and stabilizes imagery in real time with its compact, on-board processor, streaming it to the users."
