Frequently asked questions.
Frequently asked questions.
How quickly can the drone be on scene?
Aera launches from its docking station in under 30 seconds and travels at 100km/h — so in most cases it arrives before ground units have even left the station. For emergency services, that time advantage can be critical.
What does the drone actually do when it arrives?
It streams live aerial video to your operators so they can assess the situation in real time — spotting casualties, tracking fire spread, identifying hazards or locating missing persons — before anyone sets foot on scene.
Does someone need to be at the launch site?
No. The docking station handles launch, landing and recharging automatically. Your team operates the drone from wherever they are — a control room, a vehicle, or even a different country.
Can it operate at night?
Yes. Aera supports thermal and night-vision camera payloads, making it effective in low-light and no-light conditions — common in search and rescue operations.
Is it certified for use in European airspace?
Yes. Avy holds a BVLOS LUC (Light UAS Operator Certificate) — the first of its kind in the Netherlands — which allows us to conduct autonomous beyond visual line of sight flights legally within regulated European airspace.
Can it fly in the rain?
Yes. The Aera operates in 90% of weather conditions, including rain and winds up to 25 knots, on and offshore.
