Skysense has partnered with Avansig, a Spanish information and communication technology developer, to autonomously power the first indoor surveillance UAS for a multinational security company called Prosegur.

According to Skysense, its charging infrastructure, which the company describes as “lightweight, fast-charging, and easy-to-use,” eliminates the need for battery removal or manual charging every time a UAS battery runs out.

Prosegur’s surveillance UAS is capable of carrying out its own patrol route, and can land itself on Skysense’s charging pad to recharge. The UAS records and streams real-time video during surveillance patrols.

When potential security threats or breaches are discovered, the UAS sends alerts to the security central station.

“We realized we needed a charging partner at the beginning of the project because we want the drone to work completely unattended,” explains David Trillo, CEO of Avansig.

“We were in contact with other companies, but we chose Skysense because we felt that their solution was more mature. It works, it’s reliable, and it’s simple.”
