Novadem NX70: Clever Drone Design for Military & Public Safety

Episode Sponsored by Kellington Law Group: In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speaks with Johann Boucher, the sales manager for French drone maker Novadem about the NX70: a quadcopter built specifically for military and public safety applications with several unique features. It is capable of flying for 45 minutes with a range of three kilometers and uses a rugged tablet for video, telemetry and control. It can fly indefinitely when tethered to a ground-based power source, but it is able to eject the tether while flying and immediately move to get a closer look at an emergent situation. It also has the ability to deploy small payloads and comes equipped with both visible light cameras and a thermal imaging sensor. Already deployed with military, law enforcement and other public safety users in France, Novadem is looking to bring the NX70 to the United States.
