Remote camera control
On November 15th and 22nd, 2022, Lithuanian frontier guards tested a new system of surveillance
and artificial intelligence technologies developed in the scope of NESTOR European project for border
security. Their missions aimed to prevent smuggling activities and illegal border-crossing with vessels
and UAVs near the border between Lithuania and Russia.
The Orion 2 tethered drone was integrated in a whole system composed of radars, radio frequency sensors, unmanned underwater vehicle, free drone, standalone surveillance cameras and collective intelligence. An API allowed the connection of all these technologies to the control and command system located at the border station, where the officers were also able to remotely control the Orion’s camera.
In a windy area with gusts to 35 knots, the Orion 2 flew for 4 hours at 90m AGL to provide an aerial view of an 8km coastline. With the other technologies it helped coordinate the devices deployed 4 kms away to prevent (1) a vessel from unloading cigarettes on a pier, (2) a vessel from dropping cargo at sea before moving back to its country, and (3) a UAV from dropping cargo on a vessel.
Designed for military drone applications, the Orion 2.2 TE is able to endure up to 50 hours of continuous flight.
