¶ Hydrogen-powered aircraft to create digital twins
Description: Kelluu creates autonomous, hydrogen-powered airships that provide persistent, high-resolution aerial surveillance and data collection below the clouds. These 12-meter, emission-free robots operate for up to 12 hours to map, monitor, and create 3D digital twins for infrastructure, defence, and environmental monitoring, even in Arctic conditions.
Key Capabilities & Services:
Persistent Surveillance: Unlike drones, these airships offer continuous, long-endurance, real-time data, serving as a "persistent aerial data layer".
High-Resolution Data: They gather data with centimetre-level precision, where one pixel equals one square centimetre in the real world.
Infrastructure Inspection: Kelluu monitors power lines, forests, and industrial sites, enabling proactive maintenance to prevent outages or damage.
Defence & Security: They provide Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) in GNSS-denied environments and for border security.
3D Digital Twins: The data is used to create accurate 3D models of environments, supporting AI training and industrial monitoring.
Environmentally Friendly: Powered by hydrogen, they offer a sustainable alternative to helicopters.
