Geo Sense UAV aerial mapping - celebrating 5 years

1. We have our very first glider UAV, sometime in March 2008 and today March 2013, it has been a good 5 years of learning curve.
2. When we started 5 years ago I couldn't find company in Malaysia that provides commercial UAV services for civilian application. There were some attempts as hobbies and university research. Most companies will only want to invest in UAV for lucrative military supply contracts.
3. Since beginning, we want to be known as a software company rather than highlighting UAV, we want to focus on visualization platform. The idea is to provide visualization contents in the form of high resolution aerial mapping for management to get clearer and up to date ground condition.
4. After 5 years, our UAV have covered more than 500 km2 and flew more than 1500 km, most importantly our images have been used in various local, state and federal offices, MNC, top investors, military operation until Prime Minister offices.
5. It has been so delighted to see the grim and smile in most of our client's faces when they first look at images and inspiration suddenly came and decisions were made right away. The power of visualization. 
6. We also lost some of our good planes (RIP) and most of our pioneers.
7. We are eager to see the next 5 years in Geo Sense chapter.

Where 2.0, 2010

Day 1 (Tue, March 30, 2010)
. There are still talks about standardization in Geoweb. esp. in area of virtual reality, Augmented Reality, and stuffs like that.
. More push to application
. More talks about embedded geodata to mainstream application
. developer, mainly about iPhone & Andriod / C vs Java.
. google pushes to local search and local business listing
. some API update on mobile applications
. blah blah blah

. Attended tech track from wikitude and OpenGeo. showcasing their standard & API on AR. Good future.
.. Acceessable mostly mobile phone.
.. one of the main issues about AR application is battery power, esp. camera, GPS, & network (GSM/3-4G/Wifi) are working at the same time, this limit the usage. Not to blame the programmers. Also the limitation in in door navigation, accuracy etc.
.. What trigger me, is why not focus AR on street navigation devices with bluetooth connectivity to GSM/3G/WIFI networks?
. Huge gaming potential..
. AR creating more layers
. Serious engineering freternities will come once accuracy issues solved, which very much on hardware sides.
. Until than this is very much visual discovery.

Autopilot system

Feb. 7, 2010 - Geo Sense is inviting any individual with background in electronic board development to join our team for the development of Malaysia mini uav autonomous chipset system. The team consist of 3 engineers with following backgrounds
1. Aeronautical engineering
2. Electronic design and programming (C & Matlab experience is encouraged but not necessary)
3. UAV operational team (geosense engineering team)

The project will take 8 - 12 months development. Full time in Skudai, Johor office.

Please study mini autopilot system like
Micropilot, paparazi, teknol and Ardu

Operating micro glider based UAV for town planning & aerial monitoring

Geo Sense UAV

Geo Sense is inviting potential partner to look into our existing Cropcam based UAV system. We are looking to improve the following areas

1. Endurance - from existing 30min to min. 60min flight time. Maintaining total aircraft weight of below 4 kg.

2. Camera stabilizing system (gyro system) - to design and develop gyro casing (system) to host on our existing UAV compact camera (camera spec size & weight Pendex Optio A40)

3. Data Telemetry system - to extend existing data coverage (2.4 Mhz) from existing 4 km to min. 10km coverage.

4. To design and develop a simplify UAV recovering system - currently we are using 20 x 20 feets net, with 2 stand poles that are tighted to the ground by 3 robes on each pole. ref pic. We need to improve;
4.1. simplifying the installation of the net, (currently 1 person 20min installation). We require simple installation, 1 man 5 min. installation.
4.2. Looking at parachute recovering system.

5. We are looking for autonomous system programmer to help us with designing and developing (programming) UAV auto pilot system. We provides the basic parameter based on our existing system.

Geo Sense moving forward - an exec summary

Geo Sense Sdn. Bhd. has been involved in providing service in taking high resolution aerial services using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Geo Sense micro UAV system is glider types that is pre-programmed with flight data and hand launch to fly autonomously according to the pre-set flight plans. Existing micro UAV has been further improved internally by Geo Sense engineering team from it based system, Cropcam, which is purchased from Micropilot, a Canadian based micro UAV technology company. In North America and Europe, Cropcam is mainly used for precision agricultural. Geo Sense has been enhancing Cropcam to be able to extend the flight endurance, functionality and better telemetry system for more demanding works such as urban planning, monitoring, remote sensing and mapping. Geo Sense is creating a new business opportunity in providing an unmanned remote sensing services and a unique service in taking precision high resolution aerial photography on demand services. Geo Sense has been receiving various business requirements for UAV utilization in civilian as well as military.

Geo Sense is among very few private companies in Malaysia that has an opportunity to manage a working commercial UAV system. At this stage Geo Sense is ahead when it comes to first hand operation learning curve as well as the technology know-how.

Geo Sense wants to make full use of these advantages to move beyond operational services to R&D and commercialization civilian UAV system in supporting Malaysia aerospace industry.
