Brief: Bathawk Recon, a private Tanzanian company, is holding UAV surveillance trials at Mkomazi National Park 12-16 September to test the Super Bat DA-50 and a Bathawk’s large scale UAV surveillance concept.
Elephants and Rhinos are under threat across Africa and a number of projects are proposing UAV surveillance and though everyone seems to agree that aerial surveillance is needed no one project has really achieved a workable scalable model to deploy UAV in a way that will really make a difference.
Bathawk Recon and Aviation Unmanned (who supply the Super Bat) will be testing their equipment – and solution – over the five day trial to see if they really have the right stuff.
Wildlife and Aviation officials will be present as well as experts from the national parks who operate the parks were the service would be deployed.
Bathawk proposes to prepare compose a press release with stills video clips and surveillance footage to offer interested outlets on the 17th September.
Alternatively please get in touch if you would like to attend any part of the trial. You can also request interviews with the official participants mentioned above and the various other NGOs and business associations that will be observing.
