~ Boeing in Brisbane

»Boeing in Brisbane
ξ Boeing Australia Limited President is David Withers
ξ Boeing was one of the first aerospace businesses encouraged to relocate to Brisbane
ξ In 1998, the company moved its operations in North Ryde, Sydney, and Avalon, Victoria, to a new headquarters at Boeing House in Brisbane's Central Business District
ξ the company's Queensland work force has increased from 150 employees to more than 1,750 and continues to grow
ξ locating the company's headquarters near Brisbane Airport and Boeing's major defense customers described as a huge factor in its growth
ξ projects include the ground-based air defense system Vigilare and
ξ the development of a radio system using High Frequency services
ξ the Systems Analysis Laboratory -- the Asia-Pacific region's leading virtual warfare, simulation and analysis center
ξ the ScanEagle unmanned aerial vehicle team are also located in Brisbane
ξ ScanEagle provides vital surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities for Australian and coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq
ξ over the past 10 years, the company has heavily invested in Brisbane through new technology, infrastructure, jobs and education.
ξ 17 Queensland high schools teaching aerospace subjects
ξ helped establish Australia's first dedicated Aviation High in the Brisbane suburb of Clayfield
ξ spreading business around and forming partnerships with small-to-medium sized, locally based companies to grow the local economy

ξ Campbellfield
ξ provider of positioning and machine control solutions for land management, civil works and building activities
ξ already used fixed wings UAVs!
ξ Aibot X6 offers an ideal solution for detailed inspections or aerial surveys of hard to reach areas such as
ξ bridges, pipelines, power lines and rail tracks
ξ Unlike fixed-wing UAVs, the Aibot X6 operates via six propellers, which are positioned in a hexagonal shape above the camera and are protected by a unique, lightweight yet robust carbon fibre housing.
ξ propellers enable movement in every direction, vertically and horizontally,
ξ allowing for greater flexibility during flight and the ability to hover in a fixed position when required
ξ camera mount mechanism includes automated pitch and roll compensation as well as the option to switch between vertical and horizontal camera positions
ξ during flight for multiple-perspective image capture
ξ Aibot X6 can fly autonomously to a pre-programmed flight path, or
ξ alternatively it can be controlled manually via a tablet PC or remote control unit
ξ it comes with built-in collision avoidance and automatic distance control,
ξ with on-board sensors that enable the user to fly close to a surface without bumping into it
ξ as the on-board camera is mounted outside of the UAV frame, a wide range of options is available to suit the purpose of the flight,
ξ from thermographic to DSLR cameras and also video cameras
ξ there is even the option to transmit a live video broadcast to a ground station or video display goggles to enable real-time viewing
ξ Aibot X6 is designed for such a wide range of applications within the construction, engineering, surveying and mining industries
ξ that it was important to find a partner that specialises in all of these markets /Joerg lamprect, Aibotix CEO/

Mine surveys

ξ surveying in an open cast mine has challenges of it�s own
ξ setting up terrestrial scanners and other survey devices in the traffic of heavy equipment
ξ either slows down production or poses serious saftey risks to the survey crews
ξ other safety and health risks involve steep ledges, potential for rock/land slides, noise and dust
ξ conventional mine surveying takes time, involves more than one person and can be very expensive
ξ Aibot X6 provides an efficient and profitable way to perform aerial mapping and
ξ is able to operate in conditions not suitable for conventional aerial photography
ξ by using the imagery gathered during Aibot X6 flights, high resolution orthophotos can be generated
ξ from which detailed models, suitable for measuring quantities, designing earthworks and
ξ general orientation in mine management and safety, can be built
ξ deployment from car!
ξ real-time telemetry to car!
