How Tethered Drones Enhances G20 Security in Bali
How Tethered Drones Enhances G20 Security in Bali.
The G20 is a strategic multilateral platform connecting the world's major developed and emerging economies. The G20 is strategically securing future global economic growth and prosperity. This event is massive because all the world leaders will also be attending. The G20 presidency falls to Indonesia this year, and the G20 will be held on 15-16 November in Bali.
Indonesian Military Commander ensures the security of G20. With a total of 18 thousand combined forces to guarantee the protection of leaders worldwide. The Military Commander of Indonesia, Andika Perkasa, explained that the 18.030 personnel involved consist of 14 thousand Military armies, 3.200 from the police department, and the rest are from other institutions.
The military commander of Indonesia announced that he would use drone technology to gain an edge in sky patrol.
"As long as the event is ongoing, we have eyes in the sky because we didn't want to rely solely on the ground patrol. It's the first time we will use this technology, never before." - Andika in a Press Conference from Kemkominfo TV (Youtube Channel).
The main problem with drone usage is the limited battery. Most drone batteries these days can only fly up to 45 minutes. Landing the drone will likely cost immersible time and interrupt consistent security. I believe that the tethered drone system technology will enhance the security of the G20. A tethered drone will have an unlimited battery life, which means a constant monitor throughout the events.
How tethered drone works:
The generator provides power to tether kit
The tether kit passes energy through the drone via cable.
With a tethering system, the drone won't be able to move freely, but the advantage of consistent monitoring outperformed the downside. Military forces already have a checkpoint that they see as a critical spot, so the 'downside' of tethered drones being in a static position might not matter much, seeing the benefit it could provide.
With Volarious tethered system, it could tether up to 100 meters with its lightweight aviation-grade cable. If equipped with the DJI M30T, it could provide thermal visuals and has a 16x optical and 200x digital zoom (a view of approximately 8 miles). The G20 is a massive event that requires zero tolerance for mistakes. The tethering system is a game-changer for security surveillance that enhances optimal situational awareness under any circumstances.
