At the Intergeo 2016 conference, held in October, in Hamburg, Germany, the expansion of the AscTec Falcon 8 system and the launch of the Intel Falcon 8+ for North American markets was announced. This advanced system includes the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in English) and the Intel Cockpit for ground control, as well as the Intel Powerpack to power the UAV. The Intel Falcon 8+ is the first commercial drone with the Intel brand.
With the introduction of the Intel Falcon 8+ system, Intel wants to establish a new parameter for commercial drones, incorporating complete electronic system redundancy and automated aerial sensor solutions with the best embedded sensors in the segment. It is also equipped with the AscTec Trinity triple redundancy autopilot. The system provides detailed images with millimeter accuracy and makes valuable structural analyzes to help users detect and prevent further damage to the infrastructure.
Intel has been working hard in the drone segment, having recently launched the first consumer-oriented model, the Yuneec Typhoon H with Intel RealSense technology for intelligent obstacle navigation, and the Intel Aero platform, which allows developers to create their own drones from scratch.
In the commercial UAV industry, the AscTec Falcon 8 drone is available on the market and remains the leading platform for this segment. The Falcon 8 offers the best performance and weight / load capacity in the entire segment, the greatest stability in extreme conditions, easily changeable and deeply integrated load capacities, best-in-class safety, including unmatched resistance against magnetic field disturbances, High-precision GPS and one of the largest reseller and drone support networks in the world.
Intel is constantly looking for innovation in the sector, whether with the visual artistic spectacle carried out in partnership with Ars Eletronica FutureLab, which used 100 Illuminated Drones or by enabling the Volocopter.
Efforts to develop new technologies for drones have accelerated more and more, and although the technology is already successful among enthusiasts, developers and global companies in the segment, the goal is to reach more people and companies from all sectors. The company's main focus is to continue to create new and innovative technologies and to lead the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) segment - especially in the commercial segment.
"Drones represent an important computing platform for the future and Intel is positioning itself at the forefront of this opportunity to provide processing, cloud, sensor and communications integration for the growing segment of drones," said Josh Walden, vice president senior president and general manager of Intel's New Technologies Group during the event.
