Fast forward to 2022, DJI entered the world of drone docking stations with the DJI Dock, providing a much-needed boost to drone autonomy. This innovation has the potential to make docking stations a de facto accessory for drones, similar to how cameras became a standard payload just a few years ago.
Drone docking stations, also known as drone ports, enable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to take off and land while also enabling the drone to be recharged. The core components of a docking station include a control panel to push flight routes and monitor flight progress.
Drone ports may help enable a range of autonomous and BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) missions, such as ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), mapping, industrial inspection, and package delivery. UAV docking stations may include the facility to download flight logs and data from the drone's sensors and payloads.
UAV docking stations may include the facility to download flight logs and data from the drone's sensors and payloads. They may also include edge computing systems that can process this data, thus allowing operators to get results quickly in the field.
