Exploring the Antarctic Valleys of the Dead
_Kurt
Joy, Orbica_ [1]
Uncovering the landscape evolution of the McMurdo Dry
Valleys via RPAS, LiDAR, multi and hyperspectral imagery. How the
increase of spectral and spatial resolution data will change the way we
work now and in the future. 

The Future of Flight: Electric Planes Are
Taking Off
_Gary Freedman, Electric Air_ [2]
We're seeing a revolution
in the way we fuel our cars. The petrol pump will soon be resigned to
history and instead we'll plug our electric cars in like we do our
mobile phones. But what about air transport? This brief talk explores
the progress of the electric sky and the ambitious plan to bring the
first electric plane to New Zealand. Gary Freedman is a renewable energy
specialist and private pilot with a passion for changing the way we
travel. 

 Beyond Line Of Site Drones 

_Michael Read, Skybase_ [3]


After an exciting career as a pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force,
Michael went on to become a test pilot and executive at Martin Jetpack.
Michael now resides in Christchurch and is a founder of Skybase, who are
leading developers in the drone industry for Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS)
flight. In his presentation, he'll pass on some stories of the past, a
look to the future of unmanned and autonomous systems.
