#Tubedigger vocal drone trial

He said some days back, a trial of the BVLOS UAV was conducted in Bhaderwah valley of the hilly Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir, and вЂњvaccines were dropped successfully within half an hour which otherwise would have taken three hoursвЂќ.

This device will prove very beneficial in this direction as we will be successful in reaching families which are living in the remotest region and mountainous areas,вЂќ the Union minister said. вЂњAfter the country reached the successful milestone of 100 crore vaccinations under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he came out with the вЂHar Ghar DastakвЂ™ Covid-19 inoculation campaign. Singh, who is also the vice president of CSIR, said it is a proud moment for the country as the Mangalore-born drone will be used as a new вЂњCovid-warriorвЂќ in the fight against the pandemic. Jammu and Kashmir witnessed a spurt in drone activities from Pakistan over the past one year with terrorists using the technology to drop bombs at an Indian Air Force (IAF) station in Jammu in June.ДЇollowing the bombing, authorities ordered ban on storage, sale or possession, use and transport of the flying machines in various districts. The civil aviation ministry had granted conditional permission to CSIR-NAL for conducting BVLOS flight trials on September 13. On restrictions on use of drones in Jammu and Kashmir, the minister said there is no need to be concerned as all necessary security measures have been taken and permissions sought from authorities concerned. The UAV is integrated with a powerful on board embedded computer and latest generation sensors for versatile applications like agricultural pesticide spraying, crop monitoring, mining survey and magnetic geo-survey mapping, he said. The GPS-guided beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) Octacopter UAV has been developed by the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), a constituent of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), and has a range of 55 kilometres, an official said, adding that it can carry a payload of 20 kilograms. The use of this type of drones will be of great help and also aid in fulfilling the governmentвЂ™s resolve of 100 per cent vaccination, Singh said. He said health workers engaged in Covid-19 vaccination are facing problems in reaching families in remote and mountainous regions, and difficult terrains of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh and elsewhere. вЂњPakistan is using drones to drop explosives to cause harm to human life and further terrorism, but our drone will act as a carrier of вЂSanjeevani BotiвЂ™ for the betterment of humanity and is going with a message of peace,вЂќ Singh, who is Union minister of state in the Prime MinisterвЂ™s office, said. The indigenously built medium-class multicopter unmanned ariel vehicle (UAV) took off from the CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine Complex here and successfully delivered 50 vials of Covid-19 vaccines along with syringes to a public health centre in JammuвЂ™s Marh area near the India-Pakistan border. JAMMU, Nov 27: Unlike Pakistan which uses drones to drop weapons and further terrorism in Indian territory, India uses its drones to serve humanity, Union minister Jitendra Singh said on Saturday at the launch of operations of an unmanned aeriel vehicle to deliver Covid-19 vaccines to areas along the international border in Jammu and Kashmir.
