University of Alaska Flies Alticam Vision Imaging Systems for Research

The University of Alaska operates four Insitu ScanEagle unmanned aircraft that carry Alticam Vision imaging systems.

The University of Alaska operates four Insitu ScanEagle™ unmanned aircraft that carry Alticam Vision™ imaging systems. These are flown by the University to demonstrate the effectiveness of unmanned aircraft in civilian and research applications, ranging from observing animals living in the arctic to looking for hot spots in forest fires to assist firefighters. “Alticam Vision systems provide the University of Alaska project with stabilized camera turrets that send real time images to observers on the ground. They also compensate for aircraft movement and vibration to keep the image steady. Our turrets are available with daylight cameras and infrared imagers that can be configured for a variety of mission types,” Dr. Bergstrom, Alticam Vision Chief Operating Officer said. “There are plenty of unexplored opportunities that would make great programs for educational institutions or for individual projects. For example, an Alticam Vision daylight camera or infrared imager can be used for observations of offshore animal migration patterns. These imagers could track polluters, keep tabs on pipelines to watch for oil spills or monitoring endangered species. Our stabilized turret systems are designed for UAVs, but can also be used on a boats, balloons and even kites.” “Alticam Vision supplies commercial, military and university engineering, aerospace and environmental programs with stabilized turret systems. Whether you are a graduate engineering student, an aeronautics professor or working on an environmental issue at a government institution, Alticam Vision likely has the imaging technology for your project,” Dr. Bergstrom added.
