MLB Company declared of the completion of a high-resolution assessment of carbon dynamics existing in coral reef and seagrass biomes. For this initiative MLB associated with UAV Collaborative for comprehending the dynamics of susceptible near shore environments.
MLB Bat 4 flew six flights for over 9-days in Class G airspace within Sugarloaf Key (7FA1) Airport area in the Florida Keys. Around 3,700 images were captured by the Bat 4 using fully-integrated pre-testing multispectral camera system.
According to the Director of the UAV Collaborative, Dr. Stanley R. Herwitz, this initiative focused on examining coral reefs will create new insights about coastal region dynamics. New remote sensing technologies will be formulated leading future aerial and satellite platforms. The convenience and flexibility of MLB along with its dependable Bat 4 UAV platform enabled accomplishing the first phase of the research project.
MLB's Bat 4 serves to be ideal for scientific research applications. With 20 lb of payload, this robust solution can carry the sensors required for R&D. Bat 4 UAV’s 10 hours of flight duration will deliver the time needed for collecting data for analysis.
According to the CEO and Founder of MLB, Dr. Stephen Morris, the company focuses on delivering superior UAS solutions and services to cater to the demands of customers. MLB is pleased to support the NASA ROSES project. UAVs are the ideal choice to be integrated in this project. It ensures safe, low-flying mission capabilities and repeated long duration across the Key West region.
MLB demonstrates its innovative Bat 4 during the AUVSI show, scheduled from August 7-9.
