What a brilliant idea, should save a few more lives and locating problems much sooner. I wonder at what level the gales have to be before it is too strong to be deployed. Regards

Looking at the variable amounts of electrical insulation tape on the booms of those drones, someone sneezes too close and they'll go down! I don't know why it's there, but it certainly doesn't look professional to me. If they have had to modify the drones in any way, and it's to get new wires to a particular place, then a couple of loops would have been enough. The way that entire booms are strapped up suggests that the boom is damaged, and that's not something that they ought to want the CAA to think. Current Builds

I think the tape on the arms are just for visual reference of the front of the drone

Cool idea.My sons college just set up a drone swarm lab.I am hoping to go to the open day to see them working.In theory you could have 20-30 drones all working together using AI cover a large search area. Here is a video showing a drone swarm controlled using artificial intelligence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQIMGV5vtd4
