I-World Wildlife Fund iya kuqalisa ukuvavanya inkqubo entsha yokucupha i-drone eNamibia kwinyanga ezayo ejolise ekulungelelaniseni idatha evela emoyeni nasemhlabeni ukunika abagcini beepaki umngcipheko phezu kwabazingeli, ngokutsho kukaCrawford Allan, uMlawuli weprojekthi yeNgxowa-mali yeTRAFFIC yaseMntla Melika.

“Iya kuba lilungelo elikhulu ukukhusela izilwanyana zasendle kunye nabalindi,” utshilo u-Allan. Siya kuzazi apho ziphi na izilwanyana; (i-drone) idlulisela indawo kulawulo oluphantsi, kwaye unako ukuhlanganisa abagcini emhlabeni ukuba bangene phakathi kwezilwanyana kwaye benze ikhaka. Sikubona oku njengesambrela yetekhnoloji. ”

UCrawford uthe sisihlandlo sokuqala ukuba itekhnoloji enjalo isetyenziswe ebaleni. Yiprojekthi yeminyaka emithathu kwiziza ezibini e-Afrika (eyesibini kuthethwathethwana ngayo) kunye neminye emibini e-Asiya. Le projekthi ixhaswa ngemali ye-5 yezigidi zeerandi zenkxaso evela kuGoogle weGlobal Impact Awards. Ekugqibeleni injongo kukusebenzisa itekhnoloji yeselula (i-GSM) ukuqhagamshela kwiinqwelo-moya zedrone.

Iqela elibizwa ngokuba yiConservation Drones likwasebenza nabaphandi abazimeleyo kwiindawo ezili-15 ukuya kwezingama-20 kwihlabathi jikelele ukubanceda ukuba balandelele izilwanyana zasendle ngcono kwaye baphuhlise ulwazi olunokubanceda bayeke ukuzingela ngaphandle kwemvume. Baye basebenzela ukubeka esweni imikhombe kwipaki yesizwe yaseNepal nokubala iindlwane zeeorangutan kumahlathi ashinyeneyo aseSumatra, eIndonesia.

Iidrones zoLondolozo azibizi kakhulu, ziyakwazi ukuzimela, kwaye zikulungele ukusebenza iinqwelo-moya zasemoyeni ezingasetyenziswanga ukuze kujongwe kwaye kwenziwe iimephu zamahlathi kunye neentlobo ngeentlobo zezinto eziphilayo. Abasebenzisi abangengabo abezobuchwephesha banokucwangcisa uthumo ngalunye ngokuchaza iindawo zendlela ecaleni kwendlela yenqwelomoya besebenzisa isoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo.

IiDrones zoLondolozo ziyakwazi ukubhabha iimishini ezicwangciswe kwangaphambili ngokuzimeleyo kangangexesha lilonke lokubhabha ukuya kuthi ga kwimizuzu engama-50 kunye nomgama oyi-25 km. Ngokuxhomekeke kwisixokelelwano sekhamera efakiweyo, ezi drones zinokurekhoda iividiyo ukuya kuthi ga kwisisombululo se-pixel ye-1080, kwaye zithole iifoto zasemoyeni ze-<10 cm yesisombululo se-pixel. Iifoto zasemoyeni zinokudityaniswa ukuze kuveliswe kufutshane nexesha lokwenyani lokusebenzisa umhlaba/imephu zekhava zeendawo eziphononongiweyo. Kukholelwa ukuba iiDrones zoLondolozo zinamandla amakhulu kwizicelo zendalo esingqongileyo kunye nolondolozo, ezibandakanya imephu ekufutshane nexesha lokwenyani lokhuselo lomhlaba wengingqi, ukujonga imisebenzi yamahlathi ngokungekho mthethweni, kunye novavanyo lweentlobo zezilwanyana ezinkulu.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

The World Wildlife Fund will start testing a new drone surveillance program in Namibia next month that aims to coordinate data from the air and ground to give park rangers an edge over poachers, according to Crawford Allan, Director of the Fund's TRAFFIC North America project.
The (drone) relays the location to ground control, and you can mobilize rangers on the ground to get in between the animals and form a shield.
The Conservation Drones are able to fly pre-programmed missions autonomously for a total flight time of up to 50 minutes and over a distance of 25 km.
