The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug has received a modern Geoscan 701 aircraft-type drone, which is adapted for operation in harsh Arctic conditions. It is designed for environmental monitoring and search operations.
For our region with its vast distances and complex logistics, the lack of road communication between settlements, the drone will become a real breakthrough. It will allow receiving up-to-date information about emergencies in real time, minimizing risks for rescuers.
With its help, it is possible to track fires, floods, and the state of ice. It also helps to conduct search operations in remote areas of the Arctic.
The unmanned aerial complex (UAC) can stay in the air for up to 10 hours. It monitors the territory within a radius of 100 kilometers at a speed of up to 120 km/h. It is especially important that it is able to operate at extremely low temperatures (up to -40°C).
Earlier, the Ministry of Emergency Situations conducted exercises in the Nizhny Novgorod region using new drones. The goal was to practice data transfer from drones and interaction with the Ministry of Emergency Situations aviation during operations, including the dropping of fire extinguishing agents.
