At 7:30 a.m. on September 7, the emergency rescue team had two flights with the CW-15 surveying drone to obtain digital orthophoto and video real-time data from the town of Moxi, Luding County, the epicenter of the earthquake, to help rescue and relief work in Luding.
- The CW-15 surveying drone, with a flight time of 70 minutes, an operational area of 9 square kilometers, a resolution of 7cm, and 670 photographs collected, successfully acquired high-definition digital images of the affected area and quickly produced orthophoto maps to understand the overall situation promptly.
- The CW-15 surveillance drone with an EO/IR gimbal camera closely monitored the situation in the affected area and transmit video data back to the command center in real-time, providing an important basis for grasping changes in the disaster situation and formulating response strategies.
