Event 38, Avisight and Elsight team up for oil and gas inspections

Drone manufacturer Event 38 and infrastructure inspections provider Avisight have announced the use of Elsight’s Halo, an AI-based uncrewed aerial system (UAS) connectivity system, to enable beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) inspections with data collection in oil and gas pipeline inspections over difficult terrain.

Halo’s AI-based software aggregates multiple IP links to a secure bond using public and private cellular, satellite, and RF technologies. It enables continuous transmission of high-bandwidth video and data to the command and control centre through wetlands, mountainous regions and remote areas. 

Event 38 provides its E455 fixed wing, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drone, which is designed to carry a diverse range of payloads, including mapping sensors, LiDAR, and EO/IR surveillance sensors.
