Autonomous Flight

Advanced Autonomous Flight Solution

Ultra-precise autonomous flight system based on sensor fusion and dynamics control

We achieve flight standardization that does not depend on pilot skill. RTK-GPS and multi-sensor fusion technology enable centimeter-level precision flight and automatic take-off and landing. This makes it possible to fly the same path on every flight and supports overlay analysis of the time-series data collected. A real-time collision avoidance algorithm based on 3D terrain recognition further minimizes the risk of aircraft loss and cuts the operating costs of repeat surveys.

Key Technology Elements

Multi-Sensor Fusion Multi-Sensor Fusion
Integrated analysis of data from heterogeneous sensors estimates and controls the aircraft’s precise 3D attitude and position regardless of environmental variables.
Optimized Flight Control Logic Flight Control Logic Design
A flight control computer (FCC) built on advanced robotics technology, paired with an airframe design optimized for it, maximizes operational stability and flight performance.

AI Vision & Anomaly Detection

Intelligent Vision & Anomaly Detection Solution

All-weather object and anomaly analysis system based on AI deep learning

We overcome the physical limits of visual monitoring and optimize monitoring staff resources. High-resolution EO/IR cameras and thermal sensors combined with deep-learning vision analysis identify threats such as gas leaks, fires, fine cracks and abnormal movement 24 hours a day, regardless of day or night. Detected anomalies are reported immediately to the control center, establishing a proactive risk response system, and securing the golden hour minimizes potential accident losses and recovery costs.

BVLOS Control

BVLOS Remote Control & Monitoring

Long-range, wide-area UAV control solution over multiple communication networks

We support BVLOS missions in which wide-ranging infrastructure is inspected and controlled remotely, with no pilots dispatched to the site. A multi-network communication setup that combines commercial networks (LTE/5G) with an RF backup network minimizes coverage gaps and enables real-time control with minimal latency even on long-range missions beyond visual line of sight. In particular, a swarm operation architecture that lets one operator monitor and control multiple aircraft (1-to-N) covers wide areas quickly without additional deployments, delivering high operational efficiency.

Key Technology Elements

BVLOS Remote Control & Monitoring
AI-Based Ground Control Software Advanced GCS
Real-time video processing algorithms such as object tracking and abnormal behavior recognition are integrated into an intuitive control interface (UI), supporting immediate situational awareness and decision-making on site.
Communication Infrastructure Integration Network Integration
Communication modules optimized for Korea’s terrain and communication infrastructure are built into the aircraft, maintaining a stable remote control link regardless of physical distance.
Intelligent Mission Continuity & Safety Response Fail-Safe & Contingency
When a communication anomaly is detected, the system switches automatically to the backup network (Fail-over). If all alternative links are lost or a critical situation such as low power occurs, a multi-layered protection system automatically returns the aircraft to a preset emergency point (RTH) and lands it safely.

Unmanned Helicopter Control

Unmanned Helicopter Precision Control System

Helicopter-specific control solution for overcoming weather limits and performing missions efficiently

We reduce the risk of operational delays and schedule disruptions caused by bad weather. Precision control technology with heavy payload capacity and excellent wind resistance maximizes flight time compared with conventional multicopters and expands the mission coverage achievable in a single sortie. Dynamic balancing control minimizes airframe vibration for high-quality data collection, helping you keep strictly to essential infrastructure inspection schedules regardless of weather and other environmental variables.

End-to-End Data Security Data Security & Encryption
Data is encrypted across the entire path from aircraft to network to control center (using AES-256 and other methods), reducing the risk of leakage of sensitive industrial security data.

What Sets D-AIR Technology Apart

Whether a technology holds up in the field comes down to three things.

Technology Architecture

D-AIR develops autonomous agent drones that see, decide and act on their own. They are designed so that a human can step in on the decision whenever safety or ethical judgment is required.

Solutions and Use CasesSolutions & Use Cases

  1. Solar power plant panels are imaged with thermal cameras, and areas of abnormal temperature distribution (hotspots, etc.) are analyzed to detect defects.

  2. Blades and other exterior parts of wind turbines are imaged and checked for damage without interrupting turbine operation. Inspection of a turbine that has stopped for lack of wind is also included.

  3. High-rise structures (wind turbines, etc.) are inspected for internal defects such as cracks using X-ray radiography.

  4. The status of drones and drone docks (bases for automatic take-off, landing and charging) is monitored in real time and controlled remotely.
