United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation, a corporation based in Russia, is building an all-seeing eye drone fitted with tech-forward technology that allows it to see beyond the human eye’s electromagnetic spectrum, giving it the ability to detect both hidden and camouflaged objects. The drone will advance technology for all types of military equipment.
“The unmanned aerial vehicle will also be able to tell the difference between artificial objects and natural ones,” according to TechTimes.
“For the drone to successfully do its functions, it will take multiple pictures that consist of pixels with a unique spectrum that is invisible to the human eye. Also, it carries out its functions without an operator thanks to a database of the hyperspectral characteristics of a variety of materials,” according to TechTimes.
“The technology we created can process hyperspectral data streams, leading to the creation of an ‘all-seeing eye’ that allows our drones to look beyond the usual boundaries of the human eye’s electromagnetic spectrum,” Sergey Skokov, deputy CEO of UIMC, said.
The drone will also be able to use its optical electric equipment to collect digital information about its surrounding area. The information will then be analyzed to detect whether or not soil contamination, fuel spills, chemical traces and other pollutants are present.
