AUVSI Unmanned Systems 2015: DAC to Unveil WATT Tethered Drone Systems
Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Unmanned Systems 2015 Conference and Tradeshow in Atlanta, GA May 4-7, 2015
Drone Aviation Holding Corp., a developer of specialized lighter-than-air aerostats and tethered drones, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Drone Aviation Corp. (DAC), will unveil the WATT-200 and WATT-300 tethered drone system at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Unmanned Systems 2015 Conference and Tradeshow in Atlanta, GA May 4-7, 2015.
The Company is hosting product briefings at its booth, #550 throughout the event, highlighting key features of the WATT system including the airborne systems , its Ground Power Module (GPM), automated smart winch system with automated tension control, WATT's command and control systems, as well as multiple military-grade payloads supported by the WATT 200 and WATT 300 tethered drones.
The WATT line of commercial tethered drones leverage years of military flight expertise to provide a system that can be operated in a wide range of operational conditions. WATT is focused on providing safe and reliable, long endurance commercial monitoring operations through the utilization of simplified tablet-based controls which manage power, data and telemetry transmitted to and from the aircraft via an Kevlar-armored tether. For extended duration operations, power can be provided from a vehicles' power system or generator connected to the uninterruptable GPM. The Company believes that this unique system allows WATT to lift much heavier, military-capable payloads for hours, significantly longer and more safely than similar sized battery powered free flying drones only capable of supporting small, consumer-grade camera systems for short durations.
"The commercial interest in drones from virtually every sector of the economy from broadcast media, agriculture, construction, facilities management and security to Federal and Civil Government, creates a tremendous potential market for drones that can deliver cost-effective, long duration operation with truly commercial-grade payload capabilities like those delivered by our WATT products," said Felicia Hess, CEO of Drone Aviation Holding Corp. "We are excited to attend one of the industry's largest events dedicated to advancing innovation in drone and unmanned systems and demonstrate the unique capabilities of our WATT system," added Ms. Hess.
AUVSI's Unmanned Systems 2015 convenes the largest global community of commercial and defense leaders in intelligent robotics, drones and unmanned systems, powered by AUVSI. The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International is the world's largest non-profit organization devoted exclusively to advancing the unmanned systems and robotics community. Serving more than 7,500 members from government organizations, industry and academia, AUVSI is committed to fostering, developing, and promoting unmanned systems and robotic technologies. AUVSI members support defense, civil and commercial sectors.

Featured Product
JCO Series: NVIDIA Jetson Rugged AI Edge Computers
The JCO Series is a line of NVIDIA Jetson rugged AI edge computers. Unlike standard CPUs, the JCO series employs NVIDIA Jetson-Orin modules, introducing an ARM-based SOM (System-on-Module) architecture with CPU, GPU, and RAM on the same module. This integration brings about significant AI performance right to the edge, coupled with a rugged, fanless design suitable for enduring extreme environments. This series highlights low power consumption (7-60 watts) yet delivers high AI performance up to 275 TOPS, a feat difficult for typical x86 solutions to match. The integration of customizable EDGEBoost IO technology and out-of-band remote management features ensures advanced connectivity and maintenance capabilities, solidifying the JCO Series as an essential solution for mission-critical deployments such as AGV & AMRs, security & surveillance, industrial automation, and industrial IoT. With UL listed, E-Mark, FCC, and CE certifications, the JCO Series meets the highest industry standards for ultimate safety and reliability.
