Canada's chief of defence personnel announced this week that the Canadian military needs new drones and he would like those drones to be armed - an update that doesn't come without its show of controversy.

Thanks for the tip about putting a rubber sleeve on the pins at the top rotor. I did a repair with just a pair of metal pins in the opening I drilled in the plastic material and after one or two accidents the pins have vanished, presumably fallen out. I also had a problem with the charger socket being drawn quickly the imprinted circuit board, due to the 'copter dropping off the desk during charging, and having to be re-soldered.

It comes as no real surprise that LAPD was presented with these drones. Actually, this is not the very first time LAPD has discussed drones. Previously in Feb LAPD is at Israel throughout their Big Data" discussion considering drones called Hovermast". Hovermast" drones can be utilized for spying and even audience control. I will make an effort to keep this list up to date on a monthly basis, as the industry is expanding extremely fast, and new interesting personal and commercial drones on the market keep showing up. In the FAA application, Wal-Mart said it wished to test drones for taking stock of trailers and other items in the car parking lot of an warehouse using electronic digital tagging and other methods. A Wal-Mart syndication center could have a huge selection of trailers longing in its garden, and a drone may potentially be used to quickly account for what each is holding.

Another solution is to use computer eyesight. This requires a lot of processing electricity so in the other solution is based on computer vision. Due to limitations in processing electric power of onboard devices, this usually means sending a graphic down to the ground for processing. This is the system that the No Technology Explorer uses. It's a smart system that can trail and shape an subject but because it depends on transmitting the video recording, its performance is reduced by training video transmission bandwidth limits that reduce image quality, and latency caused by sending the info back and forth. It's completely possible that a fast moving subject will have left the tracking zone by enough time that the drone can respond. As a side point, since tracking is handy remote control connection centered, if the connection is broken the monitoring will also stop.

Realtors in Los Angeles were using drones to provide sweeping views of properties because of their clients - before LAPD told them in January that they were violating U.S. laws and had to avoid. Journalists have attempted drones, too. The iPad-based publication The Daily used an AR Drone Control System last spring to fully capture aerial footage of tornado devastation , for example. And citizen journalists covering Occupy Wall membrane Street have tried (with little success) to provide live aerial video recording of protests.
