The Dutch police deployed a cable drone for the first time last weekend.These can stay in the air considerably longer than drones with batteries and the police can therefore keep an eye on places for a long time.The police deployed the cable drone at Kinderdijk, near Rotterdam.The police did not report the reason for the deployment, but since the windmills at Kinderdijk are a tourist attraction, it is likely that the police wanted to monitor whether there were not too many people and whether the corona measures were being observed."Prolonged image without a battery change is ideal for this kind of job. The control room can watch with us," said the police.The police already reported last week that the first colleagues had been fully trained for the use of the cable drones.In addition, the police said that the drone can reach a height of about 70 meters.Drones without a cable reach a much higher altitude, but then fly on a battery with a limited flight time.The use of drones by the police is not new.The police have been doing this for several years and before they had their own drones, there was already a partnership with the defense force to deploy the so-called Raven mini unmanned aerial system.This is stated by the police on the unmanned aircraft theme page on Politie.nl.These Ravens have night vision cameras, a range of ten kilometers and a speed of up to 98 kilometers per hour.In addition to the police and defense forces, drones are also used by municipalities for traffic research, by the Dutch Railways for the inspection of stations and by the fire brigade for firefighting, tracing missing persons and drowning persons.TMO Fashion Business School, DoornShare your skills for your dream job Apply now![Comment edited by Megamind on April 21, 2020 5:54 PM][Comment edited by Baggeraar on April 21, 2020 19:24][Comment edited by Mushroomician on April 21, 2020 5:42 PM][Comment edited by xelnaha on April 21, 2020 22:46][Comment edited by TWeaKLeGeND on April 22, 2020 07:52][Comment edited by Keypunchie on April 21, 2020 17:04][Comment edited by Keypunchie on April 21, 2020 17:16][Comment edited by _Thanatos_ on April 21, 2020 4:49 PM][Comment edited by royb3 on April 21, 2020 16:17]This item can not be responded to.Nintendo Switch (OLED model) Apple iPhone SE (2022) LG G1 Google Pixel 6 Call of Duty: Vanguard Samsung Galaxy S22 Garmin fēnix 7 Nintendo Switch LiteTweakers together with Hardware Info, AutoTrack, Gasmetaal.nl, Nationale Vacaturebank, Intermediair and Independer forms DPG Online Services BV All rights reserved © 1998 - 2022 • Hosting by TrueTweakers places functional and analytical cookies for the functioning of the website and to improve the website experience.These cookies are necessary.In order to show more relevant advertisements on Tweakers and to show embedded content from third parties (for example videos), we ask for your permission.Embedded content allows third parties to provide and improve services, track visitor statistics, display personalized content, display targeted advertisements, and build user profiles.For this purpose, device data, IP address, geolocation and surfing behavior are recorded.More information can be found in our cookie policy.Below you can give or withdraw permission for each purpose or party.More information can be found in our cookie policy.These cookies are necessary for the website to function and to improve the website experience.Click on the information icon for more information.More detailThis limits the number of times the same advertisement is shown (frequency capping) and makes it possible to show contextual advertisements within Tweakers based on pages you have visited.More detailTweakers generates a random unique code as an identifier.This data is not shared with advertisers or other third parties and you cannot be tracked outside of Tweakers.If you are logged in, this identifier will be linked to your account.If you are not logged in, this identifier will be linked to your session, which will remain active for a maximum of 4 months.You can revoke this consent at any time.These cookies may be placed by third parties through embedded content.Click on the information icon for more information about the processing purposes.More detail
