Vehicle-Mounted Drone Systems Signal New Era of Mobility for Commercial Operations

Vehicle-Mounted Drones the Future of Drone Ops

A quiet but significant shift is underway in the commercial drone sector, one that could redefine how industries deploy aerial systems for inspection, monitoring, and emergency response.

The integration of automated drone docks with vehicles is beginning to change the way drones are launched, recovered, and operated. These vehicle-mounted systems turn previously static infrastructure into mobile drone hubs, opening up new use cases that extend far beyond traditional flight boundaries.

The implications are wide-reaching and permanent.

Façade Inspection of One Zabeel Using PhaseOne P3 Payload

Phase one P3 for Facade Inspections

In an innovative approach to improving the efficiency and safety of building inspections, FEDS Drone-powered Solutions completed a comprehensive façade inspection at the iconic One Zabeel building in Dubai using drones. The inspection was conducted using an M300 drone equipped with the PhaseOne P3 payload. The project spanned two days and involved 16 flights, inspecting a 300-meter-tall building known for its height and complex structure, including a unique bridge that connects two towers. The inspection targeted identifying cracked or broken glass panels and issues with their connections, utilizing both RGB and thermal imaging to detect temperature variations caused by panel gaps or defects.
