Landing Zones Canada Inc. has developed the GITPO Radiosonde Remotely Piloted Aerial System (RPAS), which replaces legacy, single-use radiosondes and mitigates environmental impact.
The RPAS, launched from a biodegradable weather balloon, collects weather data and operates on a light battery, allowing for multiple uses.
Landing Zones collaborated with Lockheed Martin Canada CDL Systems and Shearwater Aerospace to develop the RPAS system.
Landing Zones' latest project is the Eagle Advanced Payload Delivery System (APDS), a balloon-launched drone designed for military operations.
