Kusuka ku I-Naval Research Laboratory (E-United States) iqembu lososayensi likwazile ukwenza isoftware entsha, ebhabhadiswe ngegama le- I-ALOFT, I-Autonomous Locator of Thermals, okuthi, njengoba ikhangisiwe, ikwazi ukuthola noma yiluphi uhlobo lwedrone ukundiza amahora ngaphandle kokusebenzisa uphethiloli noma olunye uhlobo lwebhethri. Akungabazeki, ingqophamlando engathuthukisa kakhulu ukwesekwa kwalolu hlobo lwedivayisi, ikakhulukazi emisebenzini yokubheka nokuqoqa idatha.
Njengoba kumenyezelwe ephepheni elishicilelwe yiqembu lososayensi, le software ithuthukisiwe ukwenza i-drone okukhulunywa ngayo thatha ithuba lokuvuselelwa ukuhlala emoyeni ngaphandle kwesidingo sanoma yimuphi omunye umfana ophakathi. Ngokuningiliziwe, ngikutshele ukuthi lolu hlelo olufanayo yilo olusetshenziswa ama-glider namuhla ezindizeni ngaphandle kokuqhutshwa ngamandla ukuze uhlale emoyeni futhi uhlanganise amabanga amade.
I-ALOFT, isoftware engenza i-drone yakho indize amahora ngaphandle kokuchitha uphethiloli noma ibhethri.
Ukuze sikwazi ukusebenzisa le misinga yomoya, kwakudingeka ukufaka uchungechunge lwenzwa ku-drone, ethize ukukala isivinini somoya nengcindezi, ukuze ikwazi ukuzimela ngokuphelele. landelela izimpawu ezishisayo futhi ungazikhomba. Ngaphezu kwalokhu, i-drone kumele ifake phakathi uhlelo lwe-GPS kanye nohlelo lokuzulazula ngaphakathi. Ngemuva kwezindiza ezingaphezu kwamashumi amabili zokuhlola, uhlelo lukwazile ukuvela kakhulu lwaba yiphrojekthi evuthiwe kakhulu engafinyelela emakethe ezinyangeni ezimbalwa.
