Drone development specialist, Hogreen Air, has recently obtained certification for multi-drone swarm flight technology from the Korea Testing Certification (KTC). Additionally, the company has joined the International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI), contributing to the drone's proliferation and industrialization.
Hogreen Air, led by CEO Hong Sung-ho, announced on the 19th that they have acquired technology certification for a multi-drone swarm flight system from the Korea Testing Certification (KTC).
The multi-drone swarm flight system developed by the company is a technology that controls multiple drones with a single PC. Unlike the traditional one-to-one ground control system (GCS), the system integrates a multi-connection GCS and a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) communication system for drone control. It enables the simultaneous control of dozens to hundreds of drones.
Hogreen Air expects that the multi-drone swarm flight system will increase the utilization of drones in various fields, including industrial facility monitoring, pesticide spraying, and diverse entertainment sectors such as performances and shows.
Furthermore, Hogreen Air has become the first company in the domestic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry to join the International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI) under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
ISASI, founded in the United States in August 1964, consists of 130 member organizations worldwide, including specialized associations, groups, and airlines, specializing in aircraft accident investigation. In South Korea, three entities, namely Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, and the Air Force, are members in the field of manned aviation.
Hogreen Air has gained recognition for its systems and technological capabilities to prepare for the rapidly growing incidents involving unmanned aircraft, such as successfully remotely controlling a drone in Gwangju from Germany, 9,300 km away, using LTE communication network in September last year.
CEO Hong Sung-ho mentioned, "We are expanding our business scope gradually through advanced drone core technology and aviation software development." He added, "We plan to enter the global drone market by closely collaborating with domestic and international companies and organizations."
