ACSL, Domestic Drone "Soten" will be unveiled-Cnet JAPAN combined with Japanese wisdom-CNET JAPAN

　On December 7, a domestic drone maker ACSL unveiled the secure small aerial photography drone "SOTEN" for the first time.Orders start on the same day (open price).The main applications are expected to be infrastructure inspection, disaster prevention and disaster response, growth status survey, and surveying on farmland sensing.

　The company will expand sales channels in collaboration with sales partners nationwide, aiming for an annual sales volume of 1,000 units in 2022, and will look for overseas sales, including India, which has established a joint venture in the future.。

　SOTEN has been using drones in government -related tasks, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is 16 in the first year of the FY1st fiscal year, given that high -performance and high -security aerial photography is required..It was released as a product of the NEDO business called the "Safe and secure drone base technology development project", which started with 100 million yen.It will be the first aircraft that the Japanese government has led to the results of the development of development and reached mass production.In the future, we will develop technology into large aircraft.

　At the announcement of SOTEN, ACSL CEO and COO, COO, introduced an overview of the product, and Toshimitsu Fujiki, director of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Toshimitsu Fujiki, "Safe and Industry and Industry Development Project" and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.Explain the efforts.Subsequently, the talk session also featured Mr. Hiroaki Okuma, a councilor of the Cabinet Secretariat Small Industrial Measures Promotion Office, and CEO of the Grid Skyway Lord of CEO.In addition, a flight demonstration in the room was also implemented, and a stable flight was performed.

　At the beginning, Mr. Washiya said, "600 billion yen in 2025 and 400 billion yen in the service market alone, and it is a drone aircraft that supports this.I want. "

　For that purpose, he pointed out that the current drone has a shortage from three perspectives.The first is "Is it security?"The second is, "Is it a small, and the people on the site are really easy to use?"The third is, "Is it have flight performance and expandability that can withstand very harsh work environments?"SOTEN is an aerial drone that has been created by actually seeing the real words of people who work in a harsh environment, which are said to be tough, dirty, and dangerous to solve these issues.。

Three definitions of "secure" that ACSL thinks

　"Secure is not only security but also more broadly."Prior to the unveiling of the SOTEN, Mr. Washiya broke out and explained in detail the definition of security.There are three keywords."Security", "independence", "protecting technology".

　The first "security" is that a drone is an IoT device connected to the Internet, which enhances the safe management of the acquisition data and the response to hijacking and spoofing.

　The second "independence" is that it is important that drones are becoming an important tool for supporting social infrastructure, and it is important to make production in Japan sustainable.Based on the experience of actually suffering from components from overseas in the new Corona, he was also motivated to develop domestic parts manufacturers and material manufacturers.

　Third, "Protect Technology" is to protect the technologies in Japan, including know -how in the field, and big data acquired by drones.He wants to support the improvement and high value of work in Japanese companies.

　Mr. Washiya said, "I want to protect Japanese manufacturing by protecting the skills of the field. I think so strongly.""Soten" is named with the desire to lead the Japanese and the world's drone industry, like a borderless blue sky that spreads through the clouds, as you can see in the four -character idioms of the clouds.Say it.

An aircraft that "combines" Japanese wisdom

　SOTEN uses technologies developed by large companies, long -established companies, and startup companies, such as Yamaha Motor, NTT DOCOMO, Zacti, and Institute for Mechanics Simulation in the "Safe and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure and secure drone technology development project.ing.It is said that the components are used by domestic manufacturers as much as possible, and the Japanese wisdom is combined with Japanese wisdom, such as using the Michibiki satellite launched by Japan.

　From the viewpoint of secure, not only took security measures based on iOS15408, but also the use of acquired data to ensure data safety to ensure Japanese companies to enhance technology.The remote ID, which has been determined in 2022, is also implemented as a standard.

　He seemed to have made a considerable effort to hear and reflect on the voices of the field in order to combine Japanese wisdom.The operability of switching visible light cameras, infrared cameras, and multi -spectra cameras with one touch is realized.In the future, it will be possible to switch four types of cameras in addition to the visible light zoom camera.

　In addition to this, it responded to the voices of various fields.The maximum ventilation speed of 15m/s, the LTE communication compatible with a closed network, the visual odmetry with six stereo cameras, the function of collision prevention, the altitude measurement at the time of landing, and the development of mounts to mount the camera on the upper part of the aircraft.We are particular about the response to the flight performance and expandability required in the field, such as a one -touch battery and a propeller that can be mounted simply by pressing it.At the time of folding, the sensor was designed to look like a robot's eyes, and Mr. Washiya smiled, "I want SOTEN to have attachment."

"Level 4 realization" and beyond that

　"The Aviation Law was revised in the ordinary parliament in 2021, the Aviation Law was revised.It is expected that the scope of use will be expanded, focusing on surveying, surveying the disaster situation in the event of a disaster, inspection of aging infrastructure, and logistics, and further realized level 4.We introduced the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's initiatives looking ahead.

　In the future, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will continue to work on improving the safety of the aircraft and developing aircraft that can fly more long distances.Mr. Fujiki said, "Currently, a pilot, assistant and multiple people are needed to fly one drone, but in the future, we want to save more people so that one operator can control multiple aircraft.In the future, a system is needed to share the same airspace for drones, flying cars, and aircraft in the same airspace. "

　The talk session that Mr. Washiya served as a moderator also includes Mr. Hiroaki Oguma, a councilor of the Cabinet Secretariat Small Industrial Measures Promotion Office, and Saishi Kamiji, CEO of the Grid Skyway Lord of CEO.Both are mentioned that most of the current drone inspections are called level 1 and 2, and most of them are used within the visible range of human eyes, and use drones safely and more efficiently.It was important for the public and private sectors to work together.
