Archangel is an emergency monitoring system with integrated network of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for quick analysys and operative response.
As our Minimum Viable Product we suggest innovative disaster/emergency monitoring system for emergency services based on network of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV).
The solution improves work of emergency services providing real time, flexible, geo tagged video streaming from the scene. This will reduce time to analyze situation, make quick and accurate decision. This is really crucial during emergencies and disasters.
Network of UAVs provide fast, collaborative and flexible way of video monitoring. It is innovative and in time solution. Existing solution - monitoring from helicopters. But instead of 1 helicopter we may acquire network of dozens of drones! And monitor much wider area! So, it is especially affordable for developing countries.
Core "Archangel" component can nicely complement existing emergency management systems.
Archangel Coordinator
Archangel Coordinator is the core part of Archangel System. It allows authorities to assign tasks, track drones and view photos from them.
Archangel Drone
Even having financial difficulties, we have built 2 working drone prototypes. The second one, with 1 kilogramm payload, 25 minutes flight time, radio controlled, auto balanced, equipped with realtime radio camera and payload carry/drop feature is usable already now.
It is controlled via PC or a RC Joystick. Here is the pilot application screenshot:
Shots from camera are periodically uploaded to the centralized cloud-based system where they can also be tracked through mobile phones (useful for rescuers and firefighters on the scene).
Before going to the market we would like to improve our drone to final product with at least 1 hour of flight time, 1.5 kilogramm payload, zoom-in(out) camera and signal encipherers.
Below is our concept of Archangel Drone in future:
