Carlos Drews, Global Director of Species Programme of WWF International, presents a new tool to protect wildlife and fight the poachers: Huginn X1, the civil use of drone for conservation. Here a brief demonstration outside WWF International Secretariat of this tool that is operated by governments and agencies. Here some characteristics of this drone: LIVE VIDEO: the Live Video improves the foundation for decision making in the field through real time intelligence collection. The dual camera enables switching between thermal and daylight on the go, thus optimizing the operation time. The thermal camera enables night time reconnaissance and may help to prevent ambushes as well as identifying potential hostiles. SONAR: The built-in sonar, helps the Huginn X1 detect the ground and obstacles below, thus enabling auto take-off and landing. This drastically reduces the need for trained operators. STEALTH: Due to its small footprint and low noise, the Huginn X1 is virtually invisible at an altitude of approx. 150 m. This allows the Huginn X1 to approach potential hostiles or overfly areas without being detected. PORTABILITY: The Portability of the Huginn X1 makes it easy to carry during missions. During transport it can be mounted on standard equipment or carried as hand luggage. With a setup time of less than one minute the operator can get a fast overview of intense situations where rapid response is of the essence, improving the foundation for decision making.
