Acecore Technologies to Equip Dutch Military with Advanced Quadcopter Drones

Acecore Technologies, known for its robust vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drones tailored for security and surveying, is set to deliver a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to the Royal Netherlands Army.

Innovative Features of the Acecore Zoe M4

The fleet will include the acecore zoe M4 quadcopter, which comes with both LiDAR and RGB payloads, as well as integrated processing software that enables the creation of real-time 2D and 3D mapping.

These detailed, high-resolution maps are invaluable for engineering teams in the field, providing critical situational awareness that aids in assessing terrain features, such as the structural soundness of bridges prior to troop deployments.

Performance and Versatility

The Zoe M4 is a robust military-grade quadcopter designed for both defense and civilian uses, offering superior performance, redundancy, and prolonged flight times. It is standardly equipped with the NextVision Raptor X80 sensor, which provides stabilized electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) imagery with an notable 80x zoom and a thermal resolution of 1280×720, significantly enhancing its capabilities for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. For the specific operational needs of the Royal Netherlands Army, the X80 sensor will be substituted with a LiDAR/RGB sensor.

Advanced Flight Control Systems

Flight operations are conducted through the Acecore Signav Ultra ground station, allowing users to choose from various communication options, including the Persistent Systems MPU5, Silvus Streamcaster, or Doodle Labs smart radio.

Broader Applications Beyond Military Use

Beyond military engineering support, the Zoe M4 is adept for a variety of missions, including search and rescue operations, emergency response, aerial inspections, and surveying tasks.This versatility makes it an essential tool for both defense and civilian sectors.
