Shadowed by a drone capturing the action, a Bell 206B-3 operated by A&P Helicopters (also a VAI member) flies a Gyro-Stabilized Systems S512 five-axis aerial surveillance gimbal while flight testing new mapping features. The system includes 4K optical and high-definition mid-wave infrared sensors with a laser range finder, supported by software for object tracking, augmented reality map integration, and navigation.
