Plymouth Rock Technologies Gets UAS Swarm Development Contract from Survey – AR

Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc., a company developing detection apparatus and unmanned technologies, is has announced the sale of custom drones to Survey-AR to deliver a drone swarm test capability.

The project will assess an autonomous drone swarm system to optimize weather and air quality monitoring in atmospheric boundary layer environments with particular importance in urban and industrial areas. The project will further review market validation/value of identified segments as well as take advantage of critical feedback to further evolve drone swarming capabilities. Plymouth Rock Technologies will be supplying a fleet of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) which will autonomously operate together to form a ‘swarm’.

“We are delighted to be selected to undertake this task. Drone swarming capabilities have been used in theme park light shows, where the drone intelligence is limited to a simple LED light and a set manoeuvre. This effort differs greatly by the fact that this is a drone swarm collecting and compiling data through a series of sensors and utilizing AI to turn the data collected into actionable intelligence”

stated Dana Wheeler, President & CEO of PRT.
