Benefits & Applications

UXVs or unmanned vehicles are extremely diverse machines that can provide powerful information to professionals in many fields. These vehicles are particularly useful for collecting information in areas that are too dangerous or difficult for humans to reach. The combination of greater flexibility, lower capital and lower operating costs could allow unmanned vehicles to transform fields as diverse as urban infrastructure management, farming and oil and gas exploration, to name a few.

As we offer manufacturing and services involving 3 types of UXVs : UAVs, UGVs and USVs, check out some crucial usages of each type of these powerful vehicles.

UAV applications

For UAVs, or unmanned aircraft vehicles, they can be used in:

Wildfire mapping

Agricultural monitoring

Thermal infrared power line surveys

Law enforcement

Telecommunication

Weather monitoring

Aerial imaging/mapping

Television news coverage, sporting events, movie making

Environmental monitoring

Oil and gas exploration

UGV applications

UGVs, or Unmanned Ground Vehicles, are robotic systems that operate on land without an onboard human operator. They are used for a wide variety of applications, particularly in environments that are risky or unpleasant to humans and for tasks that are difficult, dull or pose unacceptable risks. These fields can be:

Urban search and rescue

Firefighting

Crowd control

Agricultural spraying and harvesting

USV applications

For Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), they are remotely controlled and can be controlled by an operator located on land or on board of another vessel. Thereby maintaining a first line of defense or perform inspections of other ships, etc… while manned boats are kept at a safe distance, avoiding unnecessary risks.

Based on this ability, USVs can be of use in many areas like:
