Intel® Falcon™ 8+ drone

Global warming is changing the world and conservationists all over the world are taking severe measures to save the earth. The fast-changing climate of the earth is making animals like polar bear struggle to adapt to these drastic changes. On top of it, terrains like 80° North, the front lines of climate change and the home of the polar bears are challenging for the researchers. This is where Intel technology comes to the rescue. Designed to battle extreme conditions, the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ drone captures thermal data and photography for commercial use.

With Intel leading a new era of drone solutions and expanding the potential of drones to transform business, the applications of the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ drone also go beyond the arctic seas. Commercially, industries like construction, utilities, oil and gas, and agriculture are using drones to solve problems they never could before. The features behind the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ drone are the likes of remarkable stability, robust performance, and thermal camera. These cameras can detect polar bears across the arctic with minimal risk to researchers and the animals themselves.

Polar bears are sometimes impossible to recognize in their natural habitat, owing to their appearance which makes them blend with their icy environment. Intel® Falcon™ 8+ drone’s camera was able to detect even a slightest different in temperature between a sleeping polar bear. It was also able to spot the bears swimming in the surrounding water, which is a tough thing to crack given they almost look like floating ice caps.
