In the medical industry, it is a "good helper" for medical staff; in the field of transportation, it is a "good support" for police operations; in agriculture, it is a "good tool" for agriculture, forestry and plant protection. – Recently, in a high-altitude no-man's area with harsh environments, a small UAV developed by United Aircraft suitable for plateau operation - TA-Q12 quad-rotor UAV (plateau type) successfully became "viral". With its flexibility, high efficiency, low-cost features, it has increasingly become the first choice "partner" for plateau patrol, surveying and mapping, and reconnaissance.

Empowering the plateau border defense, United Aircraft launched a cutting-edge patrol "sharp weapon".

China has a long borderline, and many areas are located in plateau and high-altitude areas, which are inconvenient to travel. High mountains and dense forests, rugged roads, harsh natural environment, mosquito bites, poisonous snakes and other dangerous wild animals are areas where smuggling and cross-border criminal activities are active. Border posts and local public security department need to carry out frequent patrol, which is often difficult and dangerous.

The emergence of UAVs provides a new way to solve the difficulties in border patrol. In the mountains where were previously inaccessible, UAVs can be used to conduct patrol and avoid contact with poisonous snakes, mosquitoes, etc., However, the current application of UAVs is limited by a series of problems such as low battery life, limited communication distance, poor obstacle avoidance ability, and poor high-altitude ability.

To solve the above-mentioned problems, United Aircraft has developed a small UAV suitable for plateau use - TA-Q12 quad-rotor UAV (plateau type). TA-Q12 has been precisely customized for the use characteristics of plateau, which solves the pain points and difficulties in plateau operation.

Long battery life at an altitude of 5000 meters, challenging the extreme efficiency of high altitude operation

Due to the influence of changeable weather, low oxygen content and dangerous terrain conditions in plateau area, the flight risk increases exponentially with distance and altitude, which is full of challenges for aircraft types and equipment. TA-Q12 is made of carbon fiber material, which has high-quality performance such as lightweight, waterproof, and electronic equipment protection. In addition, it also adopts advanced algorithms such as active disturbance rejection, which can still fly stably even in extremely cold environments of the ice and snow plateau with 6-level wind, minus 40 degrees, and an altitude of 5,000 meters, thus successfully solving the problem of quad-rotor UAV being unable to take-off in plateau.

Battery life is one of the main constraints on UAV operation in plateau and mountainous areas. A UAV's payload capacity is fixed. To extend the endurance, the UAV must have to carry a larger battery or more fuel. At present, the endurance of small UAVs on the market is generally maintained at about 30 minutes, and it takes a long time to recharge, which is not convenient for long-term work. However, this is a non-existent problem for TA-Q12.

TA-Q12 quad-rotor UAV (plateau type) uses a composite material lightweight body superimposed with a high-density, high-efficiency lithium battery, which can achieve 60 minutes of continuous cruise. In addition, it is worth mentioning that even if the battery is exhausted, the model can rely on the road to quickly replace the battery without returning to the base to achieve continuous operation, and it is capable of patrol within a range of 100 kilometers per day.

AI "sees" every detail and HD videos are under control.

Due to the thin air on the plateau and signal blocking by mountains, the communication distance of UAVs is very limited. At present, the stable communication distance of small UAVs in the market is usually only 2~3 kilometers, while TA-Q12 quad-rotor UAV (plateau type) adopts a high-reliability communication data link with anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities, which can achieve long-distance stable communication of 15 kilometers and send back high-definition videos under low SNR.

TA-Q12 quad-rotor UAV (plateau type) are embedded with multiple sensors, making it have a powerful AI capabilities, which can intelligently identify people and vehicles, take photos and videos of targets, return information, and preserve evidence. It can also be used for real-time tracking and positioning of targets to lock the target position.

Working in the mountainous areas, in addition to the powerful "combat" performance, self-protection is also mandatory. The binocular visual obstacle avoidance camera of TA-Q12 quad-rotor UAV (plateau type) makes it easy to control in complex terrains such as mountains and hills, realize active identification of surrounding obstacles, and autonomously avoid obstacles, achieving fully automatic obstacle avoidance flight, and self-alarm in emergency, providing safety guarantee for UAV flight.

UAVs can break through the space limitations of terrains and altitudes, allowing us to go where we desire. In the future, United Aircraft will keep developing in the field of UAV plateau border defense applications to further improve the level of high-precision autonomous patrol in order to bring more convenience for border defense personnel in hard environments and to make border defense patrol safer and more convenient!
