Frequently Asked Questions
The performance of RocketDNA’s xBot systems to date has demonstrated a very high level of reliability. On-site maintenance of the system is typically limited to routine inspection & cleaning. Major servicing at scheduled intervals and unplanned maintenance is performed by RocketDNA’s technicians.
RocketDNA has deployed it’s xBot solution in dusty mine environments, which has reached seasonal outdoor temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius. During this extreme 2 – 3 week period, the unit continued to operate reliably, albeit with slower battery recharging capacity.
Our SurveyBot simply requires 240V power supply and an internet connection.
We understand that many customers will want to install SurveyBots in locations that do not have power and internet readily available, and for that reason all SurveyBots have Starlink hardware installed for easy, reliable satellite internet connection, and we can offer convenient diesel/solar/battery power supply options.
Our xBots are built as a ready-to-use system. Once delivered to site, the set-up & testing is typically completed within a day.
RocketDNA also offers professional project management, safety & outsourced remote operating centre solution for customers who would prefer a turn-key solution.
Operating the xBot and other ‘drone-in-a-box’ systems from a remote location requires the Operator to have approval from the federal aviation regulator to perform Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations from a remote location. In addition to BVLOS, you will also require a waiver for remote operations from an approved Remote Operations Centre (ROC).
RocketDNA has all necessary approvals in place for remote BVLOS operations in Australia and South Africa (including night operations) and has been performing remote drone operations for several customers since 2023.
Although technically capable of operating in a fully autonomous manner, all xBot drone flights are monitored by a qualified remote pilot. This is a regulatory requirement and ensures that flights are executed safely and proficiently. The pilot monitors weather conditions, air traffic, CCTV cameras & drone hardware systems in real time, and communicates via VHF radio with crewed air traffic in the region.
If necessary, the pilot is able to intervene and alter the flight plan or take manual control of the drone in real-time.
RocketDNA caters for a variety of customers at different stages of their autonomous drone journey. We not only provide “hardware-only” solutions for customers who are able to perform their own remote drone operations, but also offer a Fully Managed Service Model, including Hardware, Remote Operations & after-sales Maintenance.
All regulatory approvals are obtained by RocketDNA, and all drone operations are performed under RocketDNA’s Remote Operating Certificate.
We are able to integrate with all enterprise-grade cloud storage or processing platforms, such as AWS S3 or Azure, allowing the drone data to be pushed directly into your private or public cloud environment.
We also offer our own SiteTube visualisation tool as a convenient option to access and share your raw videos, photos and live stream data. Integration with 3rd-party tools, such as Drone Deploy, Strayos or other API-enabled platforms is also possible.
