Inertial Labs and E38 announce strategic partnership for advanced LiDAR integration in E455 drones

Inertial Labs, a innovator in the field of inertial
sensor technology, and E38 Company, a prominent
developer of cutting-edge drone solutions, are excited to
announce a strategic partnership that will see the
integration of Inertial Labs’ RESEPI Payload LiDAR technology into E38’s advanced E455 drone
platform. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in utilizing unmanned aerial systems
(UAS) for professional surveying, mapping, and inspection services.

RESEPI (Remote Sensing Payload Instrument) is a sensor-fusion platform for accuracy-focused
remote sensing applications. RESEPI utilizes a high-performance Inertial Labs INS (GPS-Aided
Inertial Navigation System) and a high-accuracy single or dual-antenna GNSS receiver
integrated with a Linux-based processing core and data-logging software. The RESEPI Payload
LiDAR system will be seamlessly integrated with the E455 drone, enhancing its capabilities to
capture high-resolution, 3D spatial data across various environments. This integration is set to
revolutionize how industries such as construction, agriculture, and environmental monitoring
conduct their operations, offering unprecedented detail and accuracy.

The E455 is an innovative fixed-wing vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) UAS designed to
operate on battery power with a maximum takeoff weight of up to 65 lbs. It features a removable
payload bay with an open architecture at the center of gravity, ensuring maximum utility and
flexibility for various mission requirements. The E455 can fly for over 2 hours or carry up to 15
lbs of payload, making it an ideal platform for extensive surveying and mapping missions with
the integrated RESEPI Payload LiDAR system.

Jamie Marraccini, Inertial Labs CEO, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “By
combining our advanced RESEPI Payload LiDAR with E38’s sophisticated E455 drone, we are
setting a new standard for aerial surveying and mapping technology. This collaboration
represents a leap forward in our mission to provide comprehensive, turnkey solutions that
empower industries to achieve more.”

Andrew Wilber, Business Development Specialist for Event 38 Unmanned Systems,
added, “The E455’s unique VTOL capabilities, extended flight duration, and versatile payload
capacity, combined with Inertial Labs’ leading RESEPI LiDAR technology, enhance our offering
to the market. It provides our clients an unparalleled, accurate, efficient, and safe data collection
tool. We’re proud to partner with Inertial Labs and excited for the opportunities this partnership
opens up.”

Combining the E455 drone’s robust flight capabilities with the high-precision LiDAR technology
of the RESEPI payload will enable users to gather detailed topographic data in challenging
terrains and under diverse conditions.
