From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.

Sashnee Moodley:

Mining technology company Dwyka Mining Services has conducted what it claims is the first Autonomy Level 2 flight in South Africa, using a drone-mounted light detection and ranging payload fitted to a drone. Donna Slater tells us more.

 

Donna Slater:

To begin the roll out of using the Emesent Hovermap payload in South Africa, Dwyka Mining Services conducted a trial run of the new lidar technology at an empty warehouse in Lanseria earlier in October.

Several flights were conducted over a DIY obstacle course in a GPS-denied environment. This saw the Hovermap payload conducting scans of the room prior to takeoff to get a sense of its surroundings, following which it undertook pre-planned autonomous test flights

Dwyka Mining Services CEO Jamie van Schoor tells us more.
