Customizable private drone changes the way we use, manage and adopt this unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Pending the effective program designed by the NASA to monitor the drone traffic, and relevant regulations, it is clear that this emerging technology among others like (modular smartphone; genetic screening; hydroponic farms; online massive courses; autonomous vehicle), will transform deeply how we communicate, cultivate, collaborate, monitor our health and trade.

At Connectikpeople.co, soon #Retinknow®, we are still very excited to accompany and develop this infatuation when it comes to improve and develop our living conditions.

Until now, you can use private drone inter alia for: photography, for infrastructure inspection, crop- and livestock-monitoring, search-and-rescue missions, for open-air mining operations, agricultural applications, for responding to disasters, and inspecting offshore oilrigs.

But as you can imagine, private drones available are built for a single mission. This means: complexity, bottlenecks, limitations, inflexibility and more.

However, we have a great reason to be optimistic, because Airware’s operating system can soon make drones simple to build and modify for multiple applications. 

Connectikpeople.co, soon #Retinknow®, observes that a first-ever standard “operating system” for drones, developed by Airware, founded by MIT alumnus Jonathan Downey, could soon help manufacturers easily design and customize unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for multiple applications.

In fact Airware, develops a platform (hardware, software, and cloud services), that can let manufacturers pick and opt various components and application-specific software to add to commercial drones for multiple purposes.   

Connectikpeople.co, soon #Retinknow®, can also observe that a small red box (hub for the components), can be installed into all of a third-party’s drones. It can collect data and display that info to a user.

 ‘’To customize the drones, customers use software to select third-party drone vehicles and components such as sensors, cameras, actuators, and communication devices, configure settings, and apply their configuration to a fleet. Other software helps them plan and monitor missions in real time (and make midflight adjustments), and collects and displays data. Airware then pushes all data to the cloud, where it’s aggregated and analyzed, and available to designated users’’ said Downey, Airware’s CEO, who researched and built drones throughout his time at MIT.

Airware plans to launch the platform for general adoption later this year and Connectikpeople.co, soon #Retinknow, we think this holistic approach is valuable for everybody.
