The Government may restrict the use of drones, but must open the eyes. Many things missed by drones. “Drones are related solution cost, time, and travel terrain for observation of an area,” said Hermawansyah, Director Swandiri Institute.
This Hermawansyah unrest related to the Regulation of the Minister of Communications No. 90 of 2015 on the Control of Unmanned Aircraft Operations, published May 12, 2015. In points 4 sheets attachment rules were written, drones are used for the benefit of the shooting, mapping, and the film must attach a letter of permission from the competent institution and the local government area to be photographed, mapped, or filmed.
Indeed, since 2011, Swandiri Institute has developed drones to various community interests. Together Irendra Radjawali, faculty of Bonn University, this research institute has developed a drone which is much cheaper. “Drone was developed for observations of forests and watersheds, as well as the mapping of rural management area, or indigenous territories,” he said recently in London.
Aka drone UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is the technology of unmanned aircraft by remote control using a pilot with the laws of aerodynamics. During its development, the drone is widely used for civil society activities such as monitoring of agricultural area, fire area, to study.
According Hermawansyah, North District Government Kayong so interested in utilizing drones for tourism promotion. As a result, the video has been witnessed by thousands of people. Swandiri Institute has initiated drones even food. “By using drones, farmers could monitor crop growth. Early detection of pests and plant diseases from this air results are very detailed, more details of satellite imagery. ”
In fact, if the Government of West Kalimantan province require detailed observations to areas of land and forest fires, Swandiri Institute is ready to help. “We want this technology can be utilized wider community. With the village fund, residents will be able to assemble the drones for the benefit of beneficial, “he added.
School of Drones
Working closely with the Publish What You Pay Indonesia, Swandiri Institute organizes School of Drone, early October.The theme is Technology for Inclusive Society. This term is used, because the drone is a technology that touches the basic problems, and relatively easy to implement.
Arif Munandar, researchers from Swandiri Institute said that the spirit of Swandiri Institute for this technology is widely known and useful for the society is the ultimate goal. “Drones can answer the difficulties of accessibility in the field, including issues that are less detailed satellite imagery. The level of detail of satellite images is 15 x 15 meters, while the drone is able to produce observations 2 centimeters per pixel. “
Drone also address weaknesses satellite imagery, which is often disrupted clouds. “Drone flying below the clouds, so that it can record more detail. The cost is much cheaper, “said Arif again.
Drones assembled by the Institute Swandiri plane made its own body. There are of styrofoam or wood and the shape of two types, multicopter and fixed wings. “The form chosen for observation because the plane lighter and saving battery power.Drone copter types rely lifting force of propeller, very wasteful batteries, generally only able to fly a maximum of 20 minutes. While this type of aircraft with the body of styrofoam able to fly more than an hour because of light, “said Arif.
Investigation
Drone for investigation recently used by government institutions. End of August 2015, drone assemblies College technocrat Bandar Lampung used as an auxiliary device task team of the High Court of Lampung.
The drones are used for the purposes of investigation and monitoring of areas difficult to access directly. In addition to the prosecutor’s office, assemblies drones have also been used Technocrats Regional Police Lampung and Lampung Provincial Board of planning. His job is not much different, help the police personnel to investigate and monitor the location of reach.
Arif said, reflecting on the usefulness of drone, which can cut costs, time and labor, regulation on drones should really be studied. According to him, the drone does not conflict with the efforts of technology adoption in the interests of society.
According to Arief, the initial goal Swandiri Institute developed the drone is for rural communities to use technology independently monitoring and affordable. Swandiri Institute mentoring in several districts in the district, especially people who still have indigenous forests, orchards and tembawang or community management area. They were taught to use GPS, mapping, and collection of forest cover crop vegetation.
By using drones, land use can be observed and regulated in more detail. Going forward, in accordance with the mandate of the Village Act, rural communities can have a low drone, which are used for various purposes. “Including, to monitor their crops,” said Arif.
