BlackTrax Custom Tracking

The Flying Drones is piloted by the Dutch company Path65 and their proprietary motion control system, remotely controls the drones through a predesigned flight path. BlackTrax is used to send the drones positional data in real-time to Path65’s controller system and warns it in case a wind gust moves the drones away from the flight path or if there is a potential risk of collision.
