ITC spoke to Ali Bahlooq, General
Manager Esharah, about the company’s
operations and, in particular, how it is
protecting the public.
What can you tell us about some
of your activities?
We have a drone based on Artificial
Intelligence. The advantage of this drone is
that you don’t need professional pilots to
steer it, all you have to do is programme the
flight path, the altitude and give it a brief
about the mission.
The Artificial
Intelligence camera
can be stored on a
drone so it can give you
an indication of how
severe an accident is.
Let’s say the mission is to give the
decision maker managing an emergency an
observation or a helicopter type view of,
for example, a forest fire. The drone will fly
to the relevant zone based upon a pre-
configured map and it will stream video back
to the headquarters for the decision maker
to see how to tackle that problem.
So the drone is one of the options which
will bring value to the end-customers in
terms of reducing the cost of the need for
a professional pilot to navigate. It provides
valuable information from the ground
without having to deploy people to check
where the problem is. You can minimise
your cost and bring value to the customer by
deploying the drone.
Another solution we have concerns an
ambulance with a sort of Virtual Reality
camera, which a paramedic will wear. It’s like
