Podrobný popis

CLIP, LOCK & FLY !

Dronavia is proud to introduce its new POD system, integrated into Kronos parachute recovery systems. After deploying the parachute, the operator simply unscrews the old POD and then screws a new POD onto the parachute system. This simplified rearming process ensures that operators can safely take off again in just a few minutes, without compromising their flying missions.

STAY FOCUS ON YOUR JOB

To reduce activation time and increase the chances of avoiding a crash and accident, Kronos parachute systems incorporate an autonomous deploiement technology. This module triggers the parachute in less than 0.27 seconds, compared with around 3 seconds for a human trigger. Stay one step ahead and fully focused on your flying missions.

Keep flight EFFICIENCY 

Thanks to its connection to the drone, the Kronos Inspire 3 parachute has unlimited autonomy, enabling it to carry out even the longest flight missions. Weighing just 450 grams, it’s also designed to be as light as possible, allowing you to carry other accessories without impacting on your flight performance.

FEATURES

Unlimited autonomy

PARA² technology / 3rd generation of ultra-light canopies

Ultra-fast installation

Easy to dismantle and transport

Autonomous deployment system Equipped with new autonomous deployment technology (mandatory for MOC M2 compliance), Kronos parachutes and FTS activate automatically in less than 0.27 seconds in the event of a problem. This is a significant reduction compared with the average human time of 3 seconds, and also enables a considerable reduction in the drone’s impact energy

A soft & controlled landing

The new PARA² canopies used in Kronos parachute systems are the result of 3 years of development. Their innovative, ultra-light design and unique construction give PARA² canopies superior efficiency and stability. The fall rate is minimised in relation to the canopy surface. Each Kronos parachute is designed so that the canopy(s) keep the drone as flat as possible during its fall in order to minimise damage on impact.

Compliance with EASA MOC M2

EASA has published a new proposed means of compliance for systems installed on drones to reduce ground impact in the event of a crash. The document is aimed at drone operators who are considering fitting a drone with a parachute or demonstrating that the drone has a feature that reduces its impact energy in the event of a crash. The document is also intended for drone manufacturers and manufacturers of mitigation systems (parachute recovery systems). The MOC M2 designates the level of robustness required for the safety system in the event of the drone losing control and falling to the ground. Depending on the level of robustness, a correction value can reduce or increase the GRC. The more effective the measures, the higher the correction value and the lower the GRC. If the final GRC is greater than 7, it is not possible to request a SORA. The assessment of the ground risk class (GRC) is covered by stages 2 and 3 of the SORA. The first step covers the definition of the intrinsic GRC, which is the initial level of ground risk, while the second covers the mitigation measures that can be applied to reduce the risk and achieve the final GRC.

Patented & efficient triggering device

Numerous tests and successive improvements have brought this system to levels of reliability never before achieved on a drone parachute. The pressurised gas (60 bars!) is released in a fraction of a second to propel the parachute canopy out of its container. The excess gas released (each cartridge contains several dozen litres) is used to accelerate the deployment of the canopy and minimise the loss of altitude when the parachute is triggered. With the Kronos M350 parachute system, the fall speed for a mass of 7 kg is only 3.56 m/s, i.e. an impact energy of only 44 Joules, compared with 2747 Joules without a parachute system.

Long-range, secure transmission for manual triggering

The long-range communication system between the Klick trigger remote control and the parachute/FTS is based on advanced technology and LoRa modulation. Its range can reach several kilometres in optimal conditions and a long range option allows to exceed 10 km. The communication protocol is based on the 869 MHz frequencies, which are free of authorisation (433 and 915 MHz options available). A 128-bit encryption ensures that the data is not intercepted and the user is warned if the communication is disturbed.

POD system

Resetting your Kronos parachute takes just a few minutes. All you have to do is replace your triggered pod with a new one, and then carry out a few simple maintenance operations yourself, as explained and detailed in the parachute user manual. The CO2 cartridge is the only consumable to be changed on the system after it has been deployed, and a cartridge costs just a few euros. You can either buy a new POD or exchange your deployed POD for a new one at a special price.

Black box for analysing flight logs A time-stamped log system is built into the Kronos M350 parachute. It records the triggering actions performed by the user for diagnostic purposes. These logs can be analyzed by Dronavia and sent on request.

This essential compliance in the development of a SORA (Special Operations Risk Assessment) ensures that our customers have the best risk management and safety measures for their special operations, while staying ahead of future European standards. The MOC 2511 is sufficient to meet the requirements of Part 9.

Easily integrated Geocaging solution

The Zephyr CC & ScaleFlyt Geocaging FTS module allows you to create a virtual cage representing the flight area of your drone in order to fly your missions in complete serenity. Thanks to the compatibility between the Geocaging system and our FTS systems, if the drone leaves the flight envelope, the engine cut-out automatically triggers a stop, ensuring that your drone stays within the limits you have set. To integrate the geocaging solution into your accessory kit, simply link your module to your existing FTS. The experts at Dronavia make it quick and easy. Once paired, all you have to do is position it on the drone, prepare its flight zone and then send the cage to the module using a USB dongle.

Why equip your drone with a Parachute Recovery System (PRS)?

Adding a Parachute Recovery System (PRS) to a drone can help ensure safety in the event of a technical failure or critical problem during flight (extreme weather conditions, radio transmission failure, technical failure of the propulsion system, loss of GPS signal, etc.). Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) help attenuate impact and minimize damage to the drone and its environment in the event of an emergency landing. They can also help protect nearby people in the event of a problem during flight.

What is a MOC (Means of Compliance)?

An MoC (Means of Compliance) is a way for professional drone operators to demonstrate that they comply with the regulations and standards that apply to their activities, and to guarantee the quality and safety of the products they use. To obtain it, it is necessary to meet the current regulatory requirements published by EASA, the European Union’s Aviation Safety Agency. In addition to the quality and safety offered by a product that complies with the MOCs proposed by EASA, professional drone operators can obtain a SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) or PDRA (Pre-Defined Risk Assessment), flight authorizations issued for complex missions in a specific category.

What is the Ground Risk Class (GRC)? Ground Risk Class (GRC) assessment is covered by steps 2 and 3 of a Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) dossier. The first step covers the definition of the intrinsic GRC, which is the initial level of ground risk, while the second covers the mitigation measures that can be applied to reduce the risk and achieve the final GRC.

How do Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) protect my drone?

What regulations do Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) comply with?

Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) comply with MoC2512 for M2 mitigating means published by EASA. It facilitates the implementation of the Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA). The MoC M2 (2512) demonstrates that the drone has a feature that reduces its impact energy in the event of a crash. Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) can be used in France to approve drones weighing between 2 and 8 kilograms for DGAC (Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile) Scenario 3 (S3). This requirement aims to guarantee the safety of people and property on the ground in the event of a critical problem during flights in urban areas or when flying over people, by limiting the impact on the ground to less than 69 joules. By combining your Parachute Recovery System (PRS) with your Flight Termination system (FTS), you can obtain an accessories kit enabling you to classify your drone C5 (for all C3 class drones). This EASA-compliant accessories kit enables you to fly in the specific category in the STS-01 scenario. By combining your Parachute Recovery System (PRS) and your Flight Termination system (FTS), the drone becomes S1/S2/S3 approved by the DGAC.

What is the C5 class published by EASA?

From January 1, 2024, a new drone class, Class C5 (for specific category flights (STS-01)), will come into force throughout Europe. The STS-01 scenario concerns line-of-sight flights at an altitude of 120 meters, whether in a populated or unpopulated environment. This flight scenario is comparable to the DGAC’s current S3 scenario. To fly in this scenario in Europe, you need to obtain a C5 marking for your drone. There are two ways of doing this: either the manufacturer develops his drone to meet the requirements of this class, or the drone operator installs an accessories kit (or conversion kit) on his C2 or C3 class drone (DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise/ DJI Matrice 350 / DJI Inspire 3), enabling his drone to become C5 class compliant and obtain this marking. Dronavia is proud to be the first manufacturer to offer accessories kits or conversion kits (consisting of a parachute system (PRS) and a Flight Termination System (FTS)) compliant with EASA regulations, enabling your drone to obtain the C5 class label.

How can I get C5 class marking for my DJI Matrice 350 / DJI Inspire 3 drone? To obtain C5 class marking for your DJI Matrice 350 and/or DJI Inspire 3 drone, simply install the plug and play accessories kit (PRS + FTS) offered by Dronavia. If you decide to revert to the drone’s original Class C3 marking, simply remove the accessories kit (PRS + FTS).

Do I keep the warranty on my DJI drone when I upgrade it to C5 class? You retain your DJI warranty when you upgrade your drone from class C3 to class C5. To do this, simply dismantle the FTS + PRS assembly before sending your drone to DJI under warranty.

What is the MOC2512 (M2) published by EASA?

EASA has published a new compliance proposal for systems installed on drones to reduce ground impact in the event of a crash. The document is aimed at drone operators planning to fit a drone with a parachute, or to demonstrate that the drone is equipped with a function that reduces its impact energy in the event of a collision. The document is also aimed at drone manufacturers and manufacturers of Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS). MOC2512 (M2) designates the level of robustness required for the safety system in the event of a drone losing control and falling to the ground.The three key elements of an effective M2 mitigation system are as follows:

Reduce the effect of ground impact Operate reliably in the event of loss of control Do not introduce any additional risk

Drone manufacturers must declare that they meet these three requirements and provide evidence, in the form of tests, analyses, simulations, inspections, design reviews or operational experience, to back up these declarations.

How to reduce GRC scores with MOC2512 (M2) and obtain a SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment)?

Mitigation measures are divided into three stages: M1 – Strategic mitigation: this stage involves implementing strategies to reduce risks at source. For example, by choosing flight routes that avoid high-risk areas, or by using technologies that reduce the risk of accidents. M2 – Reducing effects in the event of an impact: this stage aims to minimize the consequences of an accident should it occur. For example, by using containment devices to protect people and property on the ground, or by implementing evacuation plans in the event of an accident. M3 – Contingency planning: this stage involves putting in place protocols to manage the consequences of an accident and ensure the safety of people and property on the ground. For example, by providing emergency communications or establishing working relationships with local authorities and emergency services. Each of these steps has a corrective value, which can reduce or increase the GRC depending on the strength of the measures put in place. The more effective the measures, the higher the correction value and the lower the GRC. If the final GRC is higher than 7, it is not possible to apply for a SORA file.

How are Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) deployed?

Dronavia uses a patented CO2 ejection system for its parachute systems (PRS). This ejection system has been tried and tested and used by the majority of French drone operators for over 6 years. Numerous tests and successive improvements have brought this system to unprecedented levels of reliability. A pressurized gas (60 bar) is liberated in a fraction of a second to propel the parachute canopy out of its container. The excess gas released (each cartridge contains several liters) is used to accelerate canopy deployment and minimize altitude loss during parachute deployment.

How do I install a Dronavia Parachute Recovery System (PRS)?

Dronavia’s Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) are designed for easy integration, with an installation time of around 5 to 10 minutes (for the first installation) and then only a few seconds. Dronavia provides a user manual and tutorial videos to help drone operators carry out the installation quickly and easily. Our systems have also been designed and developed to be quick and easy to transport.

How do I switch off the drone's power supply to the drone's motors while the Parachute Recovery System (PRS) is deploying? Dronavia markets Flight Termination systems (FTS) compatible with its Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS), enabling the drone’s power supply to be cut off in less than a second. The two systems are paired and coupled in our workshop by our experts. If the Flight Termination System (FTS) is activated, the Parachute Recovery System (PRS) is also automatically deployed (and vice versa).

Do Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) require a power supply? Dronavia parachute systems (PRS) are equipped with an independent 5-hour battery that can be recharged via USB-C. Dronavia also supplies a USB-C cable (which can be connected to the drone or to a FTS) to give the PRS unlimited autonomy.

Can I travel by plane with a Dronavia Parachute Recovery System (PRS)? There are no constraints for drone operators traveling by air. Most airlines offer the possibility of putting your Parachute Recovery System (PRS) in the hold or in the cabin with the gas cartridge (16G / 12G / 8G / 4G).

How do I carry out maintenance on Kronos Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS)?

There are two types of maintenance: preventive and post-deployment. In both cases, the only operation required on Kronos Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) is replacement of the POD. This is a quick and easy operation, which means that the drone operator never has to immobilize his drone. A use-by date is indicated on each POD. Dronavia declines all responsibility and voids the warranty on your system if your POD has exceeded this use-by date.
