Introducing Waakoor
Since 2007, growth in poaching of rhinos in South Africa has increased by 5000%. To combat the illegal poachers, Asgard Aerospace has developed Waakoor – a truly intelligent program to detect, identify and eliminate poaching activity in the wild.
In the Afrikaan language, Waakoor means to guard, to watch over – and this fittingly describes the aerial protection the project will provide Rhinos in South Africa.
The Waakoor project embodies a fusion of hardware, software and dynamics to develop a machine that is capable of long flight times, effective communication throughput and high accuracy detection and identification.
Long Flight Times
Easy Mission Planning & Control
Realtime Avionics
Notifications when it Matters
Onboard Intelligence
Flight control, autopilot and computer vision all on board. State of the art communications and image detection processing occurs on board and detection events are pushed to Waakoor’s ground control. A communications link enables Waakoor’s operator to stream video and modify flight paths on the fly.
Expansive Communications Reach
Extend Waakoor’s communications reach via meshed ground stations or mesh air-to-air relays with multiple drones.
Easily Plan and Monitor your Mission
Built with user experience in mind, Waakoor’s ground control device offers unparalleled easy of use in mission planning and monitoring. An in case you want to do something else during the long flight mission, Waakoor will automatically notify you when it detects an incident – empowering you to respond with the appropriate action.
