The assessment process
While in the air, Valmie’s crew conducted several evaluation procedures like testing the calibration of the controller, assessing handling features at a variety of speeds, and checking the statistics being analyzed by the installed data capturing system in flight.
Hammack further added that the highly awaited V-1 Drone has shown extraordinary performance and it marks the initiation of a rigorous flight test program. The coming phase of trials and test will be dedicated to evaluation of all operational systems and combining the proprietary AIMD Platform, which is in development stage.
The plans

One of the company’s focus segments is agriculture. It is in the list of the most capable applications for UAV’s. The farm operators are looking for on-demand information on a frequent and continual basis.
