Thales/Elbit WK450 Watchkeeper Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

IAF's Lakshya- pilot-less target aircraft or drone (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The sign below the UAV is fairly self explanatory if viewed in full screen or expanded mode. Lakshya is a remotely piloted high speed re-usable Indian target drone system developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment of DRDO. A variant Lakshya-1 is used to perform discreet aerial reconnaissance of battlefield and target acquisition. Lakshya is a cost effective re-usable high subsonic aerial target system powered by a gas turbine engine and launched either from land or ship. This UAV is on display in the HAL Museum in Bangalore. Notes about the HAL Museum itself appear elsewhere in this album. (Bangalore/ Bengaluru, India, Jan/ Feb. 2024)

Dr. Striz and Peter Attar speak about research being done at OU.

The calm air and bright light almost 2 hours from sunrise makes vivid drone imagery possible on this Sunday. The future school will combine the student body here with those from Palmer Elementary in a campus occupying much of the grassy fields of the foreground. In place of the existing 1920s building there will be parking and drop off curb space for buses and private vehicles. The existing slope will remain as a barrier between the traffic and the learning areas, according to a public presentation by the city, district, and designers on April 15, 2025.

This short flight only rises 20 or 30 feet, but it gives a sense of the overall construction zone as understreet utilities are expanded or replaced north and south along Division for a length of six or eight city blocks.

Marisa Lord, 18th CES customer service operations manager, hold a Skyranger R60 unmanned aerial vehicle during a readiness exercise at Kadena Air Base, Japan, March 17, 2023. The exercise helped train and validate operational readiness for mission execution in a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear environment, as well as assess the base’s current status of training and processes.

Dan Bierly with Zivko Aeronautics, Inc. talks about his company and their latest endeavors.

Once above the treeline the shifting winds sent askew the flight plan for a vertical rise and picture-taking trip. The small, sub-250 gram quadcopter suddenly started traveling toward the waves of Lake Michigan and the "return to home" button did not readily take the device back to the launch GPS point. Manually dropping the altitude reduced the altitude before it passed to shore level trees below, ending in non-damaging crash.

A quirk of the drone upon launch was this slow rotation counter-clockwise all by itself; not controls touched, apart from the video button START and then STOP. Due to ongoing layers of smoke from Canada's wildfires blowing south and drifting east to blanket the Midwest of the USA during the first week of August (AQI of 150 in this video clip), there is richer color at sunrise and sunset. The haze reduces visibility, too.

While the laying of steel and cement followed massive city center destruction of residential property and business premises, it has allowed relatively safe, reliable and high speed movement of people from point to point, whether their day's journey is long or short.

 

This view before 9 a.m. on a Monday workday shows there is little delay or congestion after the main commuting hours have passed.

Lake Michigan extends to the west for 80 miles or more while in the foreground the narrow strip of forest and dune separate the bay of Lower Herring Lake from the big lake's shoreline. Around the spot where the tree shadows from the left meet the lakeshore at the opening to the bay there once stood a very busy little sawmill while the lumberjacks and 40 teams of horses took out hundreds of years of mature hardwoods in hundreds of acres extending to the left (south) of the lake during the 1891-93 period of business. Schooners for planks and steam tugs pulling booms surrounding logs into the big mills of Frankfort could dock at the Lake Michigan pier nearby. A miniature railway powered by an engine christened "Emily" helped to move the heavy loads between mill and boats, according to oral histories of lumberjacks recorded in the 1960s when they lived in area care facilities and published a generation later by local historians.

 

Before the hardwood harvest of the 1890s there had been an earlier boom to cut down the Eastern White Pine forests surrounding the lakes (Lower and Upper Herring lakes) in the later 1860 when a sawmill operated in the northeast corner of this lake at the creek that connects Upper and (here) Lower Herring Lakes.

The grassy field to the right is part of the public elementary school, Aberdeen Academy. But the large, brick worship building and the rectangular suite of classrooms and gymnasium/cafeteria belong to the parishioners of the neighborhood Catholic church. In the distance, beyond the school and its attached playground is another wide open grassy area that constitutes Aberdeen Park with its (summertime) Splash pad, picnic shelter and grills, bathrooms and a baseball diamond.

Aerial photography should not be confused with air-to-air photography, where one or more aircraft are used as chase planes that "chase" and photograph other aircraft in flight. #Aerialphotography #droneaerialphotography #dronephotography #UnmannedAerialVehicle

 

The sound of breaking glass and splintering wood got my attention, so I took the only camera I had (aerial drone) and once turned on, but not ready to launch, I pressed the still photo button (left photo). Soon after, when the GPS bearings were in the drone's working memory, the camera was ready to go up and that is this second photo (right side).

 

Of course, the drone could readily rise to the FAA limit of 400 feet (out of the airport approach path), but with the drone set to beginner mode, the ceiling above ground level (AGL) is 100 feet. But for the purpose of recording the heavy equipment situated inside the remaining three wall, this modest altitude is perfect. Already the differences between adult standing height (left) and UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) are understandable: human height puts everything on the street at familiar scale and level (actually the standpoint is the elevated parking lot opposite, so there is 12 or more feet above sidewalk level where the demolished building stands). At human height the outlines of the windows and walls predominate; not the roof material, neighboring buildings beyond, and not the "God's eye" perspective of omniscience (seeing everything as a whoile and each part relative to the others).
