The world's first water air united drone, a remote underwater shooting | 2021 | KDDI Co., Ltd.
December 14, 2021
On November 17, 2021, KDDI, KDDI Research Institute, and Prodele have succeeded in providing the world's first water air united drone (Note 1) autonomously and photographing the underwater state remotely (hereinafter referred to as this demonstration). did.
The water air combined drone is a drone in which air drones and underwater drones can fly in the sky and dive into the water.It is also compatible with mobile communication, and can transmit autonomous flights, remote control, and images of air and underwater cameras.In addition, the acoustic positioning device allows dive and shooting while checking location information even underwater where the satellite usage position (GPS) cannot be used.
In this demonstration, a water aircraft united drone was used, and underwater photography was conducted in assuming a survey of seaweeds (hereinafter referred to as offshore wind power) and survey of seaweed barrels that will be the reefs.In the conventional underwater shooting, a large ship was taken out each time, and a diver dive into the water.With this reality, we succeeded in shooting safely and efficiently with a water air united drone, so we can expect costs and time reduction in the future.

This proof was implemented at J Power Wakamatsu General Office with the cooperation of Power Development Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo -ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Hajime Watanabe, hereafter J Power).。
The three companies will continue to expand the place where smart drones (Note 2) are active through the water aircraft united drone.We will work on various partners and demonstrate the practical use of the water air united drone so that dangerous underwater work, such as the fishery industry and underwater infrastructure inspection, can be performed more safely and efficiently.
Please refer to the attached sheet for details.
[Basic specifications]
Connect to a smart drone platform (Note 3) by mobile communication, and you can shoot underwater while watching the autonomous flight instructions for the water air united drone and the real -time broadcast of the air and underwater cameras.
Since you can check the state of the water from the coast without putting out a ship, you can check the state of the farm and fixed nets on a daily basis, underwater infrastructure inspection such as offshore wind/dam pigs, and before departure.It is expected to be active in various applications, such as the bottom inspection of the ship and the blue carbon measurement.
Photograph the condition of the coastal seaweed ground and measure the amount of blue carbon (carbon dioxide absorption in the sea)
KDDI wants to realize a world where drones fly autonomously and help people with smart drones that support mobile communication.We value how to use someone, deliver luggage to the elderly who cannot go shopping, take responsibility for dangerous work with dangerous life, automate farming and take over the important fields to the next generation.In order to fulfill each and every thought, we are working on the realization of our customers in the fields of logistics, monitoring, inspection, surveying, and agriculture.Please refer to the website for details of smart drones and services.Smart drone homepage
