DJI drones will be able to "evade" aircraft with an ADS-B system


Dji has just announced that all drones weighing more than 250 grams that will debut on January 1, 2020 will include ADS-B technology.

What is the ADS-B system?

ADS-B system (system Automatic dependence on observation – diffusion ) allows an aircraft that knows its GPS location to transmit that information to ground stations and other aircraft, and allows two aircraft that are in danger of colliding to separate independently. This system can be either a transmitter or a receiver, with the former being much more expensive, so you can expect that if DJI doesn’t want its drones to cost an exorbitant amount of money, go for ADS-B receiver systems.

What is the benefit of ADS-B in drones?

This system, implemented in drones, will be designed to avoid collisions between drones and other aircraft. The drone’s receiver will be able to pick up a signal from a nearby aircraft or helicopter equipped with ADS-B transmitters and change its trajectory to avoid further danger. Is there a real risk of collision in legal and responsible flights? The truth is that basically no. Under existing regulations, to risk a drone collision with a moving aircraft would require wild disregard for some drone regulations, such as significantly exceeding altitude restrictions or flying very close to airports or airfields. Without going any further, there are hardly any documented cases of drones colliding with planes or helicopters (although there are cases where it was on the verge of tragedy).

So why is it important to include ADS-B in drones?

The answer is that many laws, in addition to being a potentially life-saving safety measure, mandate that drones be operated in controlled airspace equipped with detection and avoidance systems such as this one; Systems that are currently very expensive to implement in drones are consumer oriented. Thanks to ADS-B, DJI can look for future users to have one less obstacle to overcome flying in certain areas, and this very clearly points to the future, now that all the countries of the European Union will have common legislation and that measures are being taken to allow more types of flights and safer with U Space.

Challenges and benefits of ADS-B in drones.

The main problem with implementing ADS-B in drones is that it is a very new technology that is not yet implemented in all airplanes and helicopters. In this sense, if a helicopter without an ADS-B transmitter is directed towards a drone with an ADS-B receiver, it will be as if the drone is just as blind as it would be without ADS-B.

On the other hand, the FAA, the highest air navigation authority of the United States, has already announced that from January 1, 2020, all airplanes and helicopters flying over the territory of the United States will be equipped with the ADS-B system, which looks like an obvious bet for the future of DJI and may be in an attempt to defuse tensions between the Chinese manufacturer and the US following speculation that DJI could be the next casualty in an already ongoing trade war. .

Drone video of Hormaz Castle (Soria)

Using a drone, we were able to capture the impressive Hormaz Castle in Soria At DronProfessional.com, we don’t forget to rest. Rest is exercise when your body asks you to relax to do something you enjoy and free your mind. In this case, we decided to grab a drone (our Phantom 4 Pro 2.0) and a car and visit a magical place that we were told about and where we can fly: Gormaz Castle (Soria), a fortress of Arab origin, perched on top of a hill bordering the Duero, in a safe no-fly zone we were told. We also know of many other beautiful landscapes of Soria that we do not know, so we left with the idea of ​​coming back for more. What was our surprise when we saw that not only was the fortress impressive, but that the cold and early morning allowed us to enjoy the beautiful frozen landscape, from Riaza to Hormaz, passing through the charming city of San Esteban de Hormaz and other beautiful roads: not only did we enjoy flying, but the whole way from leaving the highway to arriving ...
