Pipeline Monitoring & Oil and Gas Security

ξ offshore oil & gas installations are extremely valuable assets
ξ they are situated across extensive maritime areas that are difficult to guard
ξ attacks or damage to such installations can lead to enormous ecological damage,
ξ revenue losses and chaos on international oil markets
ξ improving oil and gas security security is a matter of global importance
ξ UAVs are today emerging as highly effective tools for confronting pipeline monitoring, and oil and gas security challenges While others have speculated about the possible use of UAVs in offshore oil security,
ξ
Oil and Gas Security – UAV Systems
ξ UAVs have been patrolling offshore oil fields on a regular basis
ξ even at night, FLIR camera reveals the presence of thieves and potential kidnappers, who often try to reach the rigs using small boats
ξ oil leaks and slicks also show up clearly in infrared
ξ by detecting them early oil companies can save millions in fines, which are imposed automatically for such leaks
ξ the flight profile, with its 12 hours endurance, slow loitering speed and fully programmable flight path, make UAV ideal for this surveillance role
ξ UAV can remain in the air the whole night long and inspect each rig thoroughly
ξ using manned aircraft for this role is impractical, because the frequent maintenance required to support so many flight hours
ξ would be extremely costly and time consuming, and the inevitable boredom involved would raise dangers for the pilot

Pipeline Monitoring – UAV Systems

ξ infrared inspection of the thousands of miles of pipelines that transport oil and gas around the world
ξ oil and gas leaks show up well in infrared because of the temperature differences between the fluid and the soil
ξ undetected leaks have frequently caused disastrous fires, explosions and loss of life, as well as heavy economic losses
ξ the UAV is the best and most economical type of platform for this inspection

Wildfires Detection and Management

ξ bush and forest fires are the commonest forms of natural disaster in many countries
ξ such fires cause vast environmental and economic damage
ξ the primary goal is to detect fires as soon as possible after they start
ξ a FLIR camera mounted on a civil UAV can spot even small fires at great distance, by day or by night,
ξ and the long flight endurance of a civil UAV platform, such as Aerostar,
ξ provides the best chance of catching the fire early and supplying the alert in real time to the firefighting authority and ground teams

Civil UAVs - Fighting fires

ξ once a fire has taken hold, airborne FLIR cameras are used to map the precise coordinates of the hottest points of the fire in real time
ξ this data is also passed on in real time to the firefighting teams,
ξ who would otherwise have great difficulty knowing what was happening around them, because of smoke and flames
ξ an UAV can be flown into dangerous areas to guide rescue workers
ξ after a major fire has been brought under control,
ξ airborne FLIR is used to scan the burnt areas for new fires as they re-ignite
ξ clearly, airborne persistence is the key to confronting these difficult and recurring challenges

Law enforcement UAVs

ξ all modern police forces use fixed wing aircraft and helicopters to detect traffic violations, pursue criminals and hunt for missing persons
ξ in flight trials with the Israel Traffic Police,
ξ the Aerostar proved ideal for the observation of traffic and the rapid detection,
ξ tracking and identification of rogue drivers
ξ the Aerostar UAV is less costly and more practical to operate than a manned helicopter and also far less visible to drivers
ξ this invisibility creates a strong deterrent effect, since once a police force starts using UAVs for law enforcement,
ξ no driver can ever be sure that he isn’t being watched, day or night

TV Broadcast relay by UAV technology

ξ Aerostar has been used successfully to relay TV broadcasts for Israel’s Channel 2 coverage of a recent election
ξ live TV using UAV Technology was transmitted from the camera crew vehicle
ξ which followed the candidates’ cars as they raced around the country
ξ the TV transmission was received by a special payload on board an Aerostar flying overhead
ξ and relayed in real time to Channel 2 headquarters

Pollution Monitoring

ξ different pollutants can be detected and identified from an airborne platform
ξ by their appearance in visible color or in the infrared spectrum
ξ one application would involve using a UAV equipped with an array of specific chemical ‘sniffers’
ξ such an UAV would regularly be flown low over factories in an industrial zone,
ξ to discover which particular factories were breaking pollution emission regulations

Commercial UAVs – Environmental Experience

ξ Aeronautics’ Aerolight UAV has been used by one of its customers to detect radiation levels around nuclear power sites
ξ any suitable detector or sensor payload can readily be connected to Aeronautics’ UMAS™ flight control system,
ξ to enable real-time operation and output monitoring during flight
