AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. announced the release of its 2.1.0 eBee VISION application software. The next version of the software provides users with dynamic features including enhanced mapping capabilities, situational awareness measures and a variety of other tactical advantages.
AgEagle CEO Bill Irby commented, “Our next generation application software represents a leap forward in innovation and user experience for the eBee VISION. In particular, the new advanced situational awareness and mapping features provides remarkable flexibility and enriched operational efficiency. Even with these upgrades, our technical team continues to refine and evolve the capabilities of our complete enhanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance technology product portfolio to meet the specific and evolving needs of our expanding worldwide defense and commercial customer base.”
Mapping Capabilities
In addition to the eBee VISION’s HD real-time video surveillance capabilities, it now supports circular and grid mapping, allowing users to generate 2D or 3D maps in an external post-processing software.
Global Navigation Satellite System GNSS-denied Operational Capability
eBee VISION 2.1.0 is capable of continuing missions in GNSS-denied environments and allows manual deactivation of GNSS to prevent jamming or spoofing. This enhances situational awareness and positions it favorably against other drones in its range that rely only on GNSS for navigation and may not function effectively in GNSS-denied conditions.
Compliance with STANAG 4609
eBee VISION implements the STANAG 4609 standard, the official format for motion imagery exchange within the NATO nations, embedding drone position and camera information into the videos recorded by the drone and those broadcasted by the Ground Control Station. Its inclusion in the system enhances interoperability with third-party applications, key for military-grade drones.
STL Repositioning
The Company’s enhanced software now allows manual adjustment of the landing position on the map in case of Silent Tactical Landing (STL), with range estimates to inform users of the drone’s reach. This provides the eBee VISION with a tactical advantage.
