Drones are increasingly being used to inspect infrastructure, such as buildings and wind farms - both on and off shore - for safety and maintenance scheduling. Modern drones have sophisticated sensors and control systems to avoid colliding with physical objects. However, high wind speeds, gusts, and aerodynamic vortices and sheer layers pose an invisible threat because drones and other air mobility platforms cannot see the air.

That's where AirSight comes in.

The route planning and automated collision avoidance systems for modern drones can use AirSight data service from Zenotech to navigate around aerodynamic hazards using dynamic exclusion zones. Dynamic exclusion zones based on high fidelity aerodynamic simulations in AirSight are used to prevent drones from entering air spaces that would put them or nearby infrastructure and personnel at risk. In recent trials of the integrated system, an inspection drone from Aerialworx using AirSight exclusion zones was able to conduct a planned wind farm inspection mission adapting its route to avoid the weight behind the wind turbines.
