Draganflyer UAV RC Helicopters will be Featured at AUVSI 2010 International UAV Conference

The Draganflyer X4, Draganflyer X6 and Draganflyer X8 UAV RC helicopters will be featured at the 2010 AUVSI (Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International) conference. We will be demonstrating all of our UAV RC helicopters live in the conference hall and will also have an information booth with staff available to answer questions. A prototype for the upcoming Draganflyer X8 UAV helicopter will be flown as well. We will be located in booth #2025 and will be demonstrating for the duration of the conference which runs from August 24 to 27 2010.

The AUVSI (Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International) was formed in 1972 when the use of unmanned target drones in the Vietnam War prompted the creation of the National Association of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (NARPV). NARPV eventually grew as the industry expanded, leading to the creation of the modern AUVSI organization. The AUVSI is dedicated to promoting the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) through education, communication, and leadership. This year’s AUVSI conference is expecting record attendance in excess of 5000 visitors from over 30 different countries. There will also be more than 100 international speakers giving presentations on the UAV industry and latest developments. This years tradeshow will feature live demonstrations from a wide variety of exhibits. Draganfly Innovations Inc. was the first company to demonstrate live at the AUVSI at the 2009 conference, blazing the trail for other live demonstrations in the following years.

Draganfly Innovations Inc. staff will be flying all of our UAV helicopters indoors, and we will demonstrate our UAV helicopters features including aerial photography, aerial videography, and the computer controlled base station with wireless telemetry and an HUD display. Because we will be flying indoors we will not be able to demonstrate the GPS hold feature. The following AUVSI promotional video shows some of the technology that will be present at this years conference.
