LiDARUSA announced the option of the Drone Rescue Systems parachute system with all DJI M600 UAV sales.

As UAV’s become increasingly common for mapping applications the likelihood of a crash increases, the company noted.  A top concern for any pilot should be the safety of all people in the vicinity.  Equipment safety is second.  Any mapping equipped drone will have enough weight to potentially harm a person even if falling from a low altitude flight, the company said.  The Drone Rescue system helps mitigate this danger and gives the pilot added assurance that should the system fail, they have gone the extra mile to prevent harm to any bystanders.
