Unmanned airship fitted with a surveillance camera can spy on people from above

( Natural News ) Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird or a plane or even Superman? No, it will probably be an unmanned airship that is silently spying on your every moment with a surveillance camera on a 24/7 basis. An article in The Daily Mail recently reported on this latest airborne menace from the U.K. Called Eon , the completely automated airship is supposedly designed to support police operations and rescue efforts in any location. In this role, it will carry numerous high-resolution cameras to spy on people on the ground. Eon is the brainchild of U.K.-based company Avalon Airships. Around the size of a double-decker bus, it will be a very clean vehicle that does not emit any air pollutants throughout its entire flight. Furthermore, the fully autonomous craft will be able to touch down on water, float as if it is a boat, and launch from water. This amphibious landing capability opens up more locations that are normally too hard to reach by conventional aircraft. Avalon Airships is hawking their new lighter-than-air ship as the perfect flying vehicle for all kinds of roles. They claim Eon can serve as a flying ambulance, a long-endurance “eye in the sky” for police and rescue work, and a commercial aircraft.

Unmanned airship will carry its very down aerial drone Eon will not be operating alone. The airship will carry a much smaller aerial drone that can be loaded with important cargo. When Eon cannot land in the area due to space or terrain constraints, the quadcopter drone will detach from its mothership and fly down to deliver its goods. Get more […]
