R&D Activities

R&D of UAV capable of continuous operation in special environments

Participants enRoute Co., Ltd.
Overview

Objective

For fire disaster areas, it is critical to assess quickly the number of survivors and the size of the disaster area. We have been conducting R&D on a fire resistant drone to be used as a tool in rescue operations and we plan to eventually commercialize it.

Goals:
1.     Develop a fire resistant drone, which can fly for more than 3 minutes in a firestorm of 1,000 degrees celsius.
2.     Make a fire resistant drone that can avoid origins of heat to protect itself from fire.
3.     Conduct tests at the Fukushima Robot Test Field or other testing facilities.

 

Outline

Conduct R&D on aircrafts which can be operated in special environments such as fire scenes.

Then, we will develop UAVs which can be utilized for logistics, surveys and disasters.

 

Duration

FY2017~FY2019 (3 years)

Results

【Fire resistant drones and firefighting drones】

A fire resistant drone passes by a fire and confirms if there are survivors.
A firefighting drone uses a fire extinguishing component to extinguish a fire.
