The Delair DT26 Open\nPayload model features a removable container which can hold up to 3 Kg of extra\npayload and be connected to a power supply of up to 140W. It allows drone users\nto quickly add specialized sensors for specific imagery needs, such as\nultra-high resolution, multispectral and hyperspectral, thermal and oblique\nimaging capabilities. An optional cargo rack can be used to transport any type\nof items up-to 3 Kg over the long distance range the UAV supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/HyperspectralMultispectral-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12914\" width=\"415\" height=\"222\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Aerial data collection in industries such as agriculture,\noil and gas, utilities, construction and transportation infrastructure, benefit\nfrom being able to configure specific solutions with the modular platform that\nthe DT26 provides. In addition to enabling application-specific sensing\nconfigurations, the Open Payload model is also well suited for a range of other\nuse models, including research and development projects, sensor testing and\nproof-of-concept projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical use cases could include adding: multispectral\nsensors for monitoring crop health or for asset maintenance; optical gas\nsensors to inspect equipment and pipelines and monitor for leaks; high\nresolution sensors for detailed orthophotos of infrastructure in transportation\nand energy; oblique sensors to get a different view of the same target from the\nsame position; and thermal sensors for detecting hot spots, small detects in\nequipment and measuring performance of solar collection systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Delair DT26 is a production proven, long-range and\nhigh-performance UAV that now can be custom-configured for any number of use\nneeds through its highly stable payload cabin. The rugged design provides a\nsafe and secure platform for precise and thorough inspections that often\nrequire specialized components. The platform can also serve as aerial testbed\nfor sensor research and training as well. The Open Payload version has been\nspecifically designed for efficient integration of sensors that will work\nseamlessly with the overall flight operation and workflows the DT26 offers and\nat a very affordable price,\u201d said Benjamin Michel, Chief Product Officer at\nDelair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Delair DT26 Open Payload model is supported by a\ntechnical diagnosis service that helps customers evaluate the compatibility of\ntheir specific payloads with the UAV\u2019s architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Long endurance and high performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Delair DT26 features a long endurance flying range of up\nto 135 minutes, enabling it to operate in BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line Of Sight).\nThe integrated communication system supports both, command and control as well\nas video datalink connectivity via radio or 3G cellular, and a maximum range of\n30 km. It comes with very flexible mission planning and control software to\nensure maximum productivity and ease of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The Delair DT26 Open\nPayload model is easy to deploy and transport, with typical deployment time of\nunder 8 minutes. It can be launched in small spaces via its catapult take-off\nmechanism and features highly accurate belly landing capabilities, which\nenables it to land in challenging and remote terrains. Fully configured it\nweighs 17 Kg and features quick assembly components. A custom carrying case\ndelivers more convenience for moving the UAV from project to project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delair has introduced a new model of its popular long-range UAV, the Delair DT26, which offers an easy-to-integrate architecture for adding user-specified sensors and other payloads to the platform.
