Customer Background

A naval border force patrols thousands of kilometers of coastline and islands. Vessel and helicopter patrols are costly and slow; legacy drones corrode and fail frequently in high-salt, high-humidity marine environments.

Key Challenges

• High salt spray, humidity, and corrosion demand extreme protection.

• Strong winds and variable weather require high wind resistance and stability.

• Long hovering for patrols needs high endurance.

• High reliability for safe flights far from land.

Solution

Luminex tailored a Maritime Border Defense Specialized Drone Power System Solution:

• Fully sealed anti-corrosion design, all parts salt-tested for long marine operation.

• Enhanced wind resistance for safe flight in Level 10 gales.

• Large-capacity battery for 180 minutes per flight.

• 7×24 technical support and fast repair service.

Quantified Outcomes

• Maritime patrol coverage expanded 8× for all-weather monitoring.

• Power system failure rate reduced by 95%, zero major failures in 12 months of sea trials.

• Patrol response time cut from 2 hours to 15 minutes.

• Overall patrol cost reduced by 80% vs. vessels and helicopters.

Customer Testimonial
