Cloud Ground Control
Monitor entire coastlines using a single web browser with the Little Ripper Lifesaver drones, which were the first in Australia to successfully run multiple drones along the coast.
These drones operated in Sydney, Newcastle, Port Macquarie in New South Wales, and the Gold Coast in Queensland, using a web browser called Cloud Ground Control developed by our partner Advanced Navigation.
Cloud Ground Control Key Features:
- Monitor and control up to 1000 drones from a web browser
- High security with strong end-to-end encryption
- No drone or technical knowledge needed
- Connect to your drones over 4G & 5G networks
- Access from any internet-connected device
Our major advancements
Spotter AI Software
Ripper TechLab, in partnership with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), has developed the Spotter AI software to detect marine life such as sharks and crocodiles with Sharkspotter and Crocspotter.
The Spotter suite of technologies is being expanded to include RipSpotter©, DistressSpotter©, PeopleCounter©, and more, as well as a range of sensors (multi and hyperspectral, Thermal Infrared, LIDAR, LASER).
The processing capability is also being improved with higher bandwidth and efficient onboard processing. By using these technologies, you can help keep your community safe by detecting sharks and crocodiles.
Ripper Live
We are collaborating with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to develop technology that allows for ultra-low latency live streaming of data from drones to internet browsers, resulting in a delay of less than a second.
The milestones our tech has achieved so far
As the industry leader in drone technology, Ripper TechLab specialises in developing tech-enabled drones for the protection of local communities and saving lives.
- First to develop a real-time artificial intelligence shark detection capability from a drone, which has been shown to have a 93% accuracy.
- First to develop a crocodile detection capability from a drone.
- First to deploy an artificial intelligence capability on drones to distinguish between sixteen types of marine life and assist in marine conservation.
- First to transmit this situation data information for first responders to the cloud with ultra-low latency, thus enabling instant response in emergency situations.
- RipperLive, Our ultra-low latency for live streaming has been demonstrated around the world working with Amazon AWS, which will enable fast frontline decisions by experts working remotely off-site
- Sea Marker dye technology was created as a new payload developed by The Ripper Group for small Mavic drones to be used daily by lifesaving groups. Sea marker dye had been utilised in actual search and recovery missions with SLSQ and Water Police on the Little Rippers (M600) since 2017.
- Ripper Corp partnered with Advanced Navigation in a world first to simultaneously fly multiple drones along a 1000 km stretch of Australia’s coastline.
