Mission Mule enables access to any device, anywhere. Using autonomous drone technology, Mission Mule supports data retrieval efforts for researchers, environmentalists, and industry professionals working in the most remote, dangerous, and inaccessible corners of the planet. The drone, preprogrammed with GPS coordinates of ground-based sensor stations, will fly to and circle over each data station as sensor data is wirelessly uploaded to the onboard computer. The UAS will then autonomously return home and land loaded with the critical sensor data.
