Will drones be used to conduct avalanche control in the future? In January in Alaska, two state agencies—the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities and the Alaska Railroad Collaboration—collaborated to test out Drone Amplified’s new Drone Avalanche Reduction Technology. The system was used to deliver two CIL explosives that were detonated to trigger to artificial avalanches.
“This collaboration demonstrated that drones can be used in enhancing safety and efficiency in avalanche mitigation efforts.”
