DJI new drones with airplane and helicopter detectors! AirSense

The drones are futures in many senses, from military services to deliveries, delivery services, surveillance and shooting etc, etc. Thus, world renowned company DJI has decided to add airplane and helicopter detectors in its drones. These detectors will be the part of DJI drones till 2020. The Chinese tech company announced that all DJI drones weighing more than 250 grams will have built-in airplane and helicopter detectors. Called AirSense, the technology will allow drone pilots to be made aware of airplanes and helicopters miles away.

DJI Drones With AirSense

The latest safety advance is a technology commonly used in the aviation industry called an ADS-B receiver. A large portion of commercial aircraft is fitted with ADS-B and uses it to communicate their position to other aircraft and air traffic control. So, company is decided to have this technology in their upcoming drones. The AirSense technology will be able to detect aircraft that’s farther than any drone pilot can see or hear. The locations of those aircraft will be displayed on the pilot’s remote controller screen as well.

Besides that, earlier the company has blocked flights over the White House by way of firmware updates. At that time, they introduced geofencing software that stops its drones flying into other restricted airspace. Besides that drones, it stops other software that limits the range of unregistered drones.

Well, DJI’s drones have handful of safety-minded features built in. These features are l obstacle avoidance, geofencing, altitude limits, and the ability to automatically return to the takeoff spot. Regardless of these technologies, but these haven’t been enough to stop inexperienced drone pilots from flying too close to planes and helicopters.

On the other hand, the drones will only be able to receive ADS-B signals, though, so they won’t be able to transmit their location to air traffic controllers.
