AirData has made a flight data integration with Teledyne FLIR’s SIRAS drone, a security-centric aircraft designed to future-proof public safety and industrial inspection missions.
AirData’s leading fleet management platform will now support data securely exported from the SIRAS, providing customers with a unified solution for flight data management, compliance reporting, and operational readiness.
Compatibility with AirData empowers SIRAS pilots and fleet managers to combine fast, secure flight deployment with intuitive data management for safety, training, and compliance. The SIRAS is a professional, geofence-free drone designed for roles where quick deployment, advanced imaging capabilities, and data security are paramount.
The SIRAS aircraft offers hot-swappable batteries along with a dual visible-thermal payload featuring the patented FLIR MSX®. MSX overlays key details from the visual camera image on top of the full 640×512 thermal resolution image to provide greater detail, clarity, and context mid-flight and during post-flight analysis.
In addition to its imaging capabilities, the SIRAS emphasizes data security. It stores all captured imagery on an onboard microSD card and does not include cloud connectivity. Teledyne FLIR and AirData collaborated to create a secure workflow for customers to retain SIRAS flight data.
Stored flight records are crucial for compliance, but are also useful to organizations for pilot activity tracking, flight training, incident analysis, and alerting at scale. Secure flight data transfer to AirData is made simple through the SIRAS’ offline flight log export capabilities.
Syncing to AirData is a simple, secure process, and the AirData platform will automatically parse SIRAS flight data for relevant telemetry readings, pilot information, and compliance data.
To simplify operations and compliance workflows, AirData also provides inventory management, maintenance tracking, and the creation of detailed operational reports. Customers will also benefit from sophisticated mission planning capabilities, as well as the ability to track pilot training and certification.
AirData UAV is a leading platform for drone flight data analysis across multiple sectors, including public safety, industrial inspection, and search and rescue. The integration with the Teledyne FLIR SIRAS aims to provide SIRAS users with intuitive, unified fleet management that complements their high priority missions.
Mike Walters, Vice President of Product Management at Teledyne FLIR, commented, “Providing secure fleet management platform services from AirData enables public safety and industrial SIRAS users to get more from their drone investment without sacrificing security.
“The Teledyne FLIR team continues to integrate exciting new capabilities within SIRAS to improve performance, and with AirData, to provide more flight data analysis tools for elevated fleet management.”
