Black Swift Technologies has unveiled a thorough case study showcasing the request of it’s Black Swift S2 fixed-wing unmanned aerial system (UAS) as a cutting-edge platform for volcano monitoring. This innovative UAS will assist the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Alaska volcano Observatory (AVO) in tracking the activity of Makushin Volcano, known for its potential to generate ash clouds that can interfere with air travel and produce significant lava flows.
