Business applications and use cases

Multi-spectral industrial inspection

For industrial inspection applications, the Dual Gimbal Connector allows high-resolution visible imaging and infrared thermography to be combined simultaneously, revolutionizing inspection efficiency. This multi-spectral approach allows for the simultaneous detection of visual defects and thermal anomalies, providing a complete analysis in a single mission.

Sensor synchronization allows visual and thermal data to be precisely correlated, making it easier to identify complex problems that would traditionally require multiple passes. This improved efficiency reduces inspection times, operational costs, and improves the quality of diagnostics provided to customers.

Precision mapping and topography

In the field of mapping and surveying, the Dual Gimbal Connector makes it possible to combine high-resolution photogrammetry with specialized measurement sensors such as LiDARs or multispectral sensors. This multi-sensor approach significantly improves the accuracy and richness of the data collected, allowing for the creation of detailed 3D models with complementary spectral information.

Simultaneous data collection eliminates time synchronization problems and ensures perfect consistency between different types of measurements. This approach is particularly valuable for large-scale projects where data accuracy and consistency are critical to the quality of final deliverables.

Monitoring and advanced security

For surveillance applications, the Dual Gimbal Connector allows the creation of omnidirectional surveillance systems that combine high-resolution cameras pointing in different directions or visible and infrared sensors for 24-hour surveillance. This multi-sensor configuration significantly improves surveillance efficiency by eliminating blind spots and providing additional information.

Public safety operations particularly benefit from this capability by being able to simultaneously deploy day and night vision systems, motion detection sensors, and communications equipment. This configuration transforms the Matrice 400 into a true aerial surveillance center capable of efficiently covering large areas with exceptional data quality.

Setup and installation

Installation and safety procedures

The installation of the Dual Gimbal Connector follows strict procedures designed to ensure optimal safety and performance. The installation process requires careful attention to load balancing and synchronizing the systems to ensure that the two nacelles operate harmoniously without mutual interference.

Safety checks include distributed load tests, dynamic balancing checks, and integrity checks for dual electrical connections. These procedures, while detailed, are essential to ensure flight safety and prevent failures that could damage the drone or compromise the mission.

Optimization of multi-sensor configurations

Optimizing configurations is a critical aspect of using the Dual Gimbal Connector. Relative nacelle positioning, sensor orientation, and synchronization of acquisitions must be carefully planned to maximize data collection efficiency and minimize sensor interference.

Built-in planning tools allow you to simulate different configurations and optimize parameters according to mission objectives. These tools provide real-time recommendations for adjusting editing positions and optimizing capture sequences, ensuring that each configuration reaches its maximum potential.

Sensor management and synchronization

Integrated control systems

Managing two pods simultaneously requires sophisticated control systems that coordinate movements, synchronize acquisitions, and optimize overall performance. The Dual Gimbal Connector incorporates coordination intelligence that ensures that the two gimbals operate harmoniously without control conflicts or mechanical interference.

This intelligent coordination allows operators to control both platforms simultaneously through a unified interface, greatly simplifying complex operations. The system can also operate in automated mode where the pods follow pre-programmed sequences optimized for specific mission objectives.

Data synchronization and workflow

The synchronization of the data collected by the two gimbals is a major advantage of the Dual Gimbal Connector. The system ensures precise time synchronization between the different sensors, facilitating data correlation and analysis in the post-processing phases. This synchronization is critical for applications that require multi-sensor data fusion.

Built-in processing workflows make it easy to organize and analyze the data collected simultaneously by the two pods. These tools automate spatial and temporal correlation tasks, significantly reducing post-processing times and improving the quality of final analyses.

Operational and economic benefits

Mission efficiency and cost reduction

The Matrice 400 Dual Gimbal Connector generates substantial efficiencies by enabling multiple types of acquisitions to be consolidated into a single engagement. This consolidation drastically reduces flight times, travel costs and personnel requirements, significantly improving the profitability of business operations.

Reducing the number of flights required to collect all the required data also reduces equipment wear, operational risks and the environmental impact of missions. This optimization is particularly valuable for large-scale projects where economies of scale can be substantial.

Data quality and added value

The simultaneous collection of complementary data greatly improves the quality and richness of the information provided to customers. This multi-sensor approach makes it possible to offer more complete analyses and more accurate diagnoses, justifying premium rates and improving customer satisfaction.

This qualitative differentiation is a decisive competitive advantage in professional markets where added value takes precedence over cost. The ability to provide synchronized multi-spectral data also opens up new markets and makes it possible to respond to more complex and better-paid calls for tenders.
