Menatir

MENATIR, developed by Culver Aviation, is an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) monitoring network for businesses and government agencies. Its container-based stations store, charge, launch, and recover UAVs automatically, enabling aerial monitoring around the clock with only one operator. Each station can hold up to six UAVs, and customers can select from six payload types to suit their needs. The system supports real-time video surveillance, orthophotography and 3D mapping, multispectral mapping, thermal imaging, and air-quality monitoring.

MENATIR is designed to inspect wide areas, industrial facilities, and infrastructure continuously. Its network features overlapping coverage zones, and UAVs can move between containers to support missions. The company states that a UAV can take off within three minutes, with an average approach time of ten minutes. If one aircraft needs charging during a task, another available UAV can continue the mission. Applications include agriculture, mining, industrial parks, infrastructure, public administration, emergency response, environmental inspections, and law enforcement. MENATIR also offers to calculate a monitoring network based on customer requirements.
