Electra完成了太阳能电子混合研究无人机系统（UAS）的首飞

Electra Completes First Flight of Solar-Electric Hybrid Research UAS

Electra宣布于2022年九月在弗吉尼亚州马纳萨斯地区机场完成了新太阳能电池混合电子研究无人机系统（UAS）的首飞。

Electra.aero, Inc. has announced the completion of the first flight of its new solar-battery hybrid electric research Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) from Manassas Regional Airport, Virginia in September, 2022. 

该翼展90英尺的无人机系统，又名Dawn One，是Electra在弗吉尼亚州新开发工厂产出的首架飞机，是平流层机载气候观测系统（SACOS）项目的一部分，该项目由哈佛大学詹姆斯·安德森教授领导，获得NASA和Weld科学与环境发展基金会。

The 90-foot wingspan UAS, named Dawn One, is the first airplane to emerge from Electra’s new development facility in Virginia. It is part of the Stratospheric Airborne Climate Observatory System (SACOS) program being developed under the leadership of ProfessorJames G. Anderson at Harvard University. The project is supported by a contract from NASA and by the Weld Foundation for Scientific and Environmental Development. 

安德森教授表示，“SACOS项目的出台是为了解决广泛的科学任务，发挥气候观察系统的作用，开创量化分析物理、化学和生物控制恶劣天气系统的新纪元。该项目遵循美国国家科学院新报告《2022-2031年全球变化研究需求和机遇》，承诺会大大提升我们国家气候研究的能力。SACOS的高分辨率观测将首次提供有关急速增加的森林火灾、不断上升的海平面、强暴风雨的恶化以及干旱地区的全球变化造成的水资源短缺等的风险量化预估。此外，这些风险量化预报反过来将建立必要的知识联系，将气候结构不可逆转的变化与经济、公共政策和相关社会不稳定性直接联系起来。”

“SACOS is designed to innovatively address a broad range of scientific missions and serve as a climate observing system that will herald a new era in the quantitative dissection of the physics, chemistry and biology controlling critical climate systems. Following the lead of the new National Academy of Sciences reportGlobal Change Research Needs and Opportunities for 2022-2031, SACOS promises to dramatically expand our national climate research capabilities,” said Professor Anderson. “The high-spatial resolution observations from SACOS will provide, for the first time, quantitative forecasts of risk associated with rapidly expanding wildfires, the increasing rate of sea level rise, the intensification of severe storms, and global shifts in arid regions that trigger water shortages. Moreover, these quantitative forecasts of risk will, in turn, establish the essential intellectual links directly coupling irreversible changes in the climate structure to economics, public policy, and associated societal instability.”

H3 Dynamics盒装无人机装置全天候支持

24/7 Support for H3 Dynamics’ Drone-in-a-Box Installations

H3Dynamics与ARO合作支持美国全国DBX-G7自动化盒装无人机系统安装。

H3 Dynamics and ARO are partnering to enable 24/7 support for nationwide (US) installations of H3 Dynamics’ DBX-G7 autonomous drone-in-a-box systems. 

DBX-G7由H3 Dynamics设计，是一款先进的固定式现场机器人，其功能类似于现场无人机飞行员，完全自主地进行从导航到归仓，电池充电，数据检索，传输和云处理的所有操作。

Designed by H3 Dynamics, DBX-G7 is an advanced stationary field robot that functions like an onsite drone pilot, covering all operations from navigation, to docking, battery charging, data retrieval, transmission, and cloud-based processing, fully autonomously.

DBX-G7可以支持不同的无人机型号和有效载荷，通过单个云门户实现当今无人机服务行业支持的所有用例。

DBX-G7 is drone-agnostic, meaning it can support different drone models and payload options, enabling the full suite of use cases enabled by today’s drone services industry through a single cloud portal.

通过这一新的合作伙伴关系，H3 Dynamics将获得ARO在机器人运营、管理、客户成功和服务方面30多年的托管服务经验和业绩记录。通过此次合作，ARO将促成H3动态DBX平台的成功部署、运营、支持服务和持续成功。

Through this new partnership, H3 Dynamics will gain the benefit of ARO’s 30+ years of managed services experience and track record in robotic operations, management, customer success, and service. Through this partnership, ARO will ensure the successful deployment, operations, support services, and continued success of H3 Dynamics’ DBX platform. 

H3 Dynamics-北美区总经理Jarat Ford表示：“凭借ARO在托管机器人服务方面的专业知识，我们随时准备将交钥匙自主无人机站作为一项服务，并提供24/7全天候的全国运营支持。“这是在如此广阔的地区有效扩展我们解决方案的重要一步，该地区有许多偏远地区，例如边境巡逻或大型太阳能光伏电站。

“With ARO’s expertise in managed robotics services we stand ready to deliver turn-key autonomous drone stations as a service with 24/7 nationwide operational support,” said Jarat Ford, General Manager of H3 Dynamics-North America. “This is an essential step in scaling our solutions efficiently across such a large territory with many remote locations, such as on border patrols, or large solar PV power plants.” 

ARO机器人总经理杰夫皮特尔科说，“我们很高兴能与H3 Dynamics建立这种合作关系。DBX平台是一个世界级盒装无人机系统，即将席卷美国市场。通过我们的全国代理商网络、资源和我们的运营经验，我们认为自己是合适的合作伙伴，可以帮助夯实H3 Dynamics该领域的领导者地位。

“We’re excited to have this partnership with H3 Dynamics. The DBX platform is a world-class drone in a box system that is set to take the US market by storm,” said Jeff Pittelkow, Managing Director of Robotics for ARO. “Through our national network of agents, resources, and our operational experience, we feel we are the right partner to help ensure H3 Dynamics are a continued leader in the space.”
