Technology Dynamics A research team from Morse of the United States has invented a type of drone that can “disappearâ€. It can dissolve itself after completing transportation or investigation tasks.
This drone project, known as ICARUS, was initiated by the US Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 2015 and has now achieved success. According to a DARPA announcement, the drone is a single-purpose, unpowered, small transport aircraft that can be delivered from an aircraft and will gradually disappear after landing.
According to a report by the People's Daily, the drone of the ICARUS project is made of materials that can be deagglomerated or dissolved and will dissolve and disappear when exposed to heat and sunlight. The drone will be made of lightweight film and will be equipped with a guidance system that is smaller than tennis.
Once its mission is completed, it will dissolve into a clear liquid and only the electronics and the items it transports will remain. Morse's CEO Andreas Kellas said: "Developing a drone capable of meeting the accuracy and range requirements of DARPA is inherently challenging. It also increases the need to eliminate it, which means that it is almost impossible to accomplish."
According to a report by the Volkswagen Machinery News, Morse obtained a contract of 8 million U.S. dollars for the ICARUS project in 2016. It has now been confirmed that the UAV they developed can not only reach the 100-mile flight range, but also be able to land within 30 feet of the target.
DARPA initially stated in an announcement that it developed a drone that this kind of drone would be useful in some cases, such as medical aid or disaster areas where blood was transported. The ICARUS project may also be used for supply, so there is no need to worry about retrieving drones in areas that are already difficult to reach. Its investigative capabilities have also given the military some interest.
At present, other details of this drone have not been announced, such as its true size, the weight of the carrying load, and the chemical composition of the dissolvable material. In addition, it has not been published whether this material will have an impact on the environment after dissolution. (passer)
Capacitive Fuel Level Sensor
The principle of capacitive type sensor is to use positive and negative probes filled with liquid medium to form a linear change with the liquid level, the change of capacitance (that is, the change of liquid level) into a standard electrical signal output. The core components of the product use highly integrated special capacitance measurement chip, through accurate temperature compensation and linear correction, with high precision, high stability and continuous measurement advantages, with a strong independence. We provide customers several capacitive oil level sensors to meet your needs. You can choose one product according your medium, range, output signal and etc. We also provide OEM services, you can get your suitable products if you have special requirements of the products.
