Welcome to Drone World, the podcast by COPTRZ! In this episode, Sam Denniff & Tom Garnett join us to discuss some of the best stories coming out of January from the Public Safety sector. They also give some great insight into the direction drone usage is heading in for Police, Fire & Search and Rescue teams, as the technology becomes more widely adopted and the standard of pilots increases. 

Tom & Sam explains how LiDAR could be used to help police assess shallow graves, natural disasters and map/recreate crime scenes.

Sam says, “Maps and models can be used as evidence now […] What we’re seeing is scans of massive areas of ground and noticing that certain areas look disturbed. For example for shallow graves or areas where evidence has been buried, traditionally you’d have officers walking hand in hand across a field, and spend a lot of money on overtime for those officers. Now you can use a drone and complete the survey in a fraction of the time.”

Welcome to Drone World, the podcast by Coptrz! In this episode, Jamie Cording joins us to discuss the recent collaboration with the University of Leeds. Together with Robert Richardson and Bilal Kaddouh from the University of Leeds, we're revolutionising education for the next generation of robotics students.

Robert explains how students were once assembling UAVs without the foundation knowledge of drone regulations in the UK. This knowledge gap meant students couldn't fully understand how their drones could be used in real-world applications in accordance with the law, until now!

Robert said, "The value for us is in offering the best student experience that we can. It's selfless but also selfish that we also indirectly benefit from their opinion of our quality."

Welcome to Drone World, the drone podcast by Coptrz! Today’s episode brings together some of the most innovative companies from the security and defence industries, to discuss some really exciting advancements within the drone space. Your host Sam Denniff is joined by global industry experts like Soren from Lorenz Technology, Matt from Brigantes, Dave from Planck Aero Systems and Phil at Typhon Ltd.

Tune in to hear what our panel of experts had to say about the future of drones within the public safety and defence sector. 

Welcome to Drone World, the drone podcast by Coptrz! Join COPTRZ and Aerial Uptake in a real debate around the public perception of drones with Sellafield, University of Central Lancashire, Northants SAR and Drone Prep. In this episode, we’ll be tackling the following topics:

✔ What are your main concerns around drone technology?

✔ How could trust be increased?

✔ What is the most beneficial use of drones you’ve seen?

✔ Should we be concerned about data and privacy? Why?

✔ How could local and regional governments support drone tech and skills?

Whether you work with drones currently and want to influence government schemes and investment OR you’re completely against drone technology, this is for you!

Amanda Smith, UAV Manager at Sellafield, said: “When we did the first drone flight across the site 4 years ago, every man and his dog came out to see it, they couldn’t believe what we were doing. I think it’s just about getting out there and telling people what you’re doing, making the technology more accessible to people. If they understand what the drone is doing, they are less likely to question it.”

Welcome to Drone World, the drone podcast by Coptrz! In this episode, your host James Pick is joined by industry experts from across the surveying sector, to give you the ultimate insight into the applications of drones in surveying. Simon Judd from Precision Air Surveys, Chris York from Buckingham Group and James Wardlow from PhaseOne all share their expertise. 

As a tool, drones present immeasurable value to those bold enough to harness them. From increasing safety for boots on the ground applications to reducing time and costs for those larger projects. Technological advancements such as increased battery efficiency and payload diversity have enhanced the applications for drones.

Welcome to Drone World, the drone podcast by Coptrz! In this episode, your host Jamie Cording is joined by Coptrz Academy Alumni, Michael Lowe who has recently started his own business as a drone service provider. Michael has a degree in aeronautical engineering, and when his father mentioned introducing drones into his surveying business, Michael knew he had to be a part of it!

He shares how he took advantage of the help offered by Prince's Trust, a charitable organisation in the UK set up to help people under 30 find jobs and start their own businesses. From securing a business loan to marketing his new businesses, the charity supported him every step of the way. He says, "It actually sparked up a lot of interest within the Prince's Trust because it was one of the first instances they'd really heard of businesses and drones working together. One of the people I spoke to had never seen it and they were really interested in picking up on it!"

Michael also talks about the kit he flys, his proudest moment in business and what's next for FlyLowe Drone Services. To hear this and more, tune in to this weeks episode of Drone World.
