Aeroscout is proud of receiving a flight permission for the Scout B-330 UAV Helicopter in compliance with SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment). The EASA published the SORA as a standard for drone operations with aircrafts over 25kg takeoff mass. It is valid in the EU and will be adopted by FOCA (Federal office of civil aviation, Switzerland) on 1 January 2023.      

Its already more than 10 years since the market entry of the Scout B1-100 UAV Helicopter. Aeroscout does not promote it to customers but still uses it for service activities.

It measures the fluorescence spectrum of the plants or simple terms, it measures the heard beat of the plants. It was necessary to mount a powerful computer hardware on the...
