While the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) have fallen this month without their multimillion project to develop an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft (drone) railway company Deutsche Bahn (DB) and want to test their own unmanned helicopters equipped with cameras infrared radiation. The vehicles will be used to defend the graffiti trains and vandalism.
Instead of about 500 million euros that swallowed the abortion of the Bundeswehr military drone, small appliances DB will cost 60,000 euros each. A bargain compared to more than 7.5 million, according to the great German public company, it costs each year to clean the cars defaced while in the garage. DB has carved 14,000 a year. In total, they say losing about 50 million per year for various vandalism.
Although it is far from the great war machines used by the U.S. Army to kill enemies at long distances from their seat, the small drone DB also provokes controversy. The proliferation of spy gadgets able to see in the dark fluttering inner city seems typical of a dystopia science fiction come true. The legal half empty disturbs civil rights organizations, who remember these days that German law requires that civilian drones are always within the field of view of the pilot and do not fly above 100 meters. In Germany and these devices are used to monitor or fire disaster areas, but also demonstrations and football stadiums.
The drone of the Deutsche Bahn has four helices that is suspended in the air while taking pictures from up to 150 meters high. According to company spokesmen, drifts little noise at speeds up to 55 miles per hour. This ability could cause problems because flight require a license. The devices may not leave the airspace of Deutsche Bahn grounds for not violating data protection laws. Nor will fly the stations or the platforms or other places open to the public. Despite these restrictions announced, DB has not explained how many drones are used to monitor raises the dense German rail network.
Small helicopters patrol the roads and parking areas to collect evidence of vandalism. The tests will be used in judicial proceedings against any detained for spraying graffiti. Besides images, the device records the exact geographic coordinates of the locations filmed. The Bild am Sonntag Sunday has posted images of an artifact with red lacquered Deutsche Bahn Corporate has four rotors arranged in a cross. Apparently, it has a range of about 40 kilometers on autopilot. You can stay in the air an hour and twenty minutes. He led from the ground a pilot and a camera operator, who will also handle interpret the images you send.
