342 Topcon Positioning Group has agreed a partnership with Ascending Technologies to brand and distribute its rotary-wing unmanned aerial system (UAS).

The agreement gives Topcon exclusive distribution of Ascending’s AscTec Falcon 8 unmanned aerial system (UAS), as well as the GeoEXPERT and the InspectionPRO sensing and feature packages.

The Topcon-branded UAS includes the latest AscTec Trinity autopilot technology.

Ascending Technologies, based in Germany, develops and manufactures micro UAS for professional, civil and research use.

“The AscTec Falcon 8 has been in series production since 2009 and still is the first choice UAS of world market leading inspection and surveying service providers,” said Jan Stumpf, co-founder of Ascending Technologies.

“By distributing both core target models on a worldwide level, Topcon can offer more end-users the flexibility and proven advances that these patented rotary-wings systems provide for survey, inspection and monitoring applications,” said Eduardo Falcon, executive vice president and general manager for the Topcon GeoPositioning Solutions Group.
