Under the deal, Inkonova will supply Terra Drone with its UAV core technology, including anti-dust and waterproof platforms (as in the TILT Ranger, pictured) and infrastructure-denied autonomous navigation (as in the Batonomous technology), while Terra Drone – apart from providing finance – will employ its global clients, local offices, pilots, post-processing capacity, and broader commercial and technical domain expertise. Commercial drone technology company Terra Drone has invested in a start-up specialising in aerial robotics for underground mining. The company, called TerraSAR, is based at the University of New South Wales and was founded by Professor David Williams, who specialises in mining robotics. Its products will be rebranded in line with Terra Drone’s own products, while it will also benefit from its parent company’s broader commercial and technical domain knowledge, as well as international clients, offices, pilots and post-processing capacity. In return, Terra Drone will utilise Inkonova’s UAV core technology, including anti-dust and waterproof platforms and infrastructure-denied autonomous navigation.
