V-Raptor, developed by Ventor Innovations, is a drone that looks like a bird of prey.It has been specifically designed to look like the species, Aquila fasciata or commonly known as Bonelli’s eagle. This shape is recognized by pest birds as a bird that would pose a threat and also has the ability to capture its prey in mid-flight. Thus, the pest birds would avoid this area when flying. The drone has the ability to perform autonomous flights via pre-programmed flight plans created before hand. You may also achieve a more hands-on approach by manually directing it to a location position in real-time to start a flight plan.
