TDS FLYING FOX

Installing bird diverters on overhead power lines.

We’ve engineered a drone, ‘Flying Fox’ specifically designed to install bird diverters on overhead power lines from a distance, mitigating the risk of human injury and minimising harm to natural wildlife.

DRONE FEATURES

Flying Fox is equipped with four powerful rotors and features an integrated dual camera setup, providing enhanced functionality and precision.

Flying Fox is designed to facilitate the installation of bird diverters across rivers and other otherwise inaccessible areas.

Flying Fox comes equipped with advanced obstacle avoidance technology, significantly reducing the risk of crashing into trees or surrounding infrastructure. This innovative feature ensures safe and efficient operation, even in challenging environments.

The firefly and afterglow bird diverters are designed to be easily clipped onto the top of the drone, leveraging its down thrust to secure the markers in place along the line. This design not only simplifies the installation but also ensures the markers remain securely in place, providing long-lasting protection and contributing to safer and more sustainable conservation efforts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Currently, we have the capacity to install between 100 to 150 bird diverters per day, depending on flying conditions and operational logistics. Factors such as weather conditions, site accessibility, and project scope may influence daily installation rates.

Certainly!

We organise a trial day where we demonstrate approximately 100 units of our technology in your specific environment. This allows you to see firsthand how our technology performs and evaluate its effectiveness. Our team will manage the trial, provide demonstrations, and address any questions or concerns. If satisfied with the results, we can proceed to discuss and finalise a contractual agreement.

Yes, we are approved by CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations. This approval allows us to conduct drone missions where visual contact with the aircraft is not required throughout the flight.
