Currently under development, the Hive Series is an advanced multi-drone dock that can house and manage up to four aircraft. Like Hollyway's Iron Series, it offers automatic battery replacement and payload swapping, and also offers fast wireless battery charging from 10 to 90% in just 20 minutes. Each drone can be equipped with a single-camera EO gimbal or a four-in-one multisensor pod, and can be configured to operate independently or as part of a co-ordinated swarm.
The system's advanced AI-powered drones can fly for up to 52 minutes on a single charge. The powerful onboard embedded computing platform provides up to 100 TOPS of onboard processing power, enabling ultra-reliable obstacle avoidance and allowing it to handle a variety of complex computer vision and perception tasks for effective inspection, monitoring and more. A dual-link BVLOS communications system utilizes 4G/5G cellular for urban areas and a microwave link with up to 15km range in regions with poorer signal, with seamless handover between the two.
The Hive Series is backed by HOPE (Hollyway Operation Platform and Ecosystem), a powerful cloud-based software control platform that incorporates a suite of sophisticated algorithms to provide an integrated operations management and control system that can be adapted to a wide range of industries. Featuring a 4D holographic interface, HOPE provides automatic mission planning, machine learning-powered data analysis, inventory management, automated analytics and reporting, and much more.
