Action B1 completed

January 12, 2019 in Project activities

The design and assembly of the equipment making up the LESSDRONE were completed. The automatic positioning of the hull and the analysis instrumentation are connected through a specific software that manages the different sampling phases. The position of the drone is managed by a Global Positioning System (GPS) that allows to identify the points to be monitored directly on the map.
The hull consists in 6 independent inflatable sections that allow the floatation of the frame on which the control boxes and monitoring equipment are anchored. Under the frame and within the area delimited by the inflatable sections, the collection hood of the offgas was placed for the measurement of the incoming flow.

After completing the design and assembly phase of the LESSDRONE, the drone testing tests were carried out to verify the functionality of the remote movement and of the measurement instrumentation.

The drone has been tested under different operating conditions. The first tests were carried out in the laboratory to verify the functionality of the instrumentation and sensors, while at the
