Most people know them as drones and believe they are strictly used in the sky. But, their official name is unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and they can also be used in confined spaces inside or outside. Where the UAV is primarily used has a great impact on the design of its unmanned aerial system.
“Many aerial systems are equipped with standard components,” says Jörg Nolte, product manager of soldering tools, rework and inspection systems at Ersa GmbH. “But, flying in enclosed spaces also requires good communication and navigation transmission, as well as powerful, dimmable small headlights.”
