Unmanned Ariel Vehicles, (UAVs), have shown their potential to save lives during a trial that took place last month in Erzberg Mine, Austria, as part of a joint collaboration between Roke and Jaguar Land Rover.

 On 5th July, 2016, Roke Manor Research (Roke) demonstrated the world’s first viable 3D ‘black box’ technology for vehicles, using just a single dashboard camera. Fitted to an autonomous Toyota Prius, Roke demonstrated how data captured via vision processing technology could be used to provide a precise 3D reconstruction following a road incident.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD), as part of its Defence Growth Partnership (DGP) Innovation Challenge, has selected Roke Manor Research (Roke) to develop an innovative data link solution capable of transmitting real-time images and video from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using 3G cellular technology.
