Pourtant les drônes patrouillent partout en Haïti. Attention aux "ebees".

Les drônes, un sujet qui pourrait intéresser plus d'un. Pendant que des citoyens d'un pays connu se sont déjà mobilisés pour lancer un débat sur l'invasion des drônes dans leurs vies quotidiennes,...

Débat fascinant aux Etats-Unis.

En mon humble opinion ,deux debats differents.
Les drones sont deja presents dans l'ile QUISQUEYA ,ils sont une solution a un probleme humanitaire plus en HAITI qu'en REPUBBLIQUE DOMINICAINE qui a plus de voies de penetration.

AUX ETATS UNIS c'est un probleme immense.Comment gerer cette situation?
Avec la possiblite de centaines de milliers ou meme millions de DRONES dans l'AIR.
Des compagnies comme AMAZONE a deja depense de dizaines de MILLIONS pour etudier comment delivrer des "groceries" un LIVRE ou n'importe quell article pesant moins de 20 KG directement devant votre maison.
Des savants dans beaucoup d'universites ,de MIT a BOSTON a CALTECH en CALIFORNIE les deux plus grandes universities technologiques sur la planete sont en train d'etudier des solutions possibles.
C'est un probleme extremement complexe:

Greek entrepreneur Andreas Raptopoulos saw drones being used to deliver pizza and set about solving a real problem

When Domino's sent two pepperoni pizzas on a 10-minute drone flight last summer in a publicity stunt to demonstrate how takeaways may be delivered in the future, Andreas Raptopoulos reacted with scorn.
"This is total nonsense. Why the hell would you do that? The public risk to transport a pizza around when you can do it perfectly well with all of the infrastructure you already have there? Why don't you use the same technology to save somebody's life when a mother needs medicine or a child needs medicine instead of it being stuck on a lorry on a muddy road. To me, this is where technology works best," the Greek entrepreneur said.
Raptopoulos had had his eureka moment about the possibilities opened up by drones two years earlier. The night before a presentation at Silicon Valley's Singularity University – which aims to encourage business leaders to use technology to solve humanitarian problems – it had struck him that a network of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could deliver medical supplies across parts of the developing world inaccessible by road.

That idea soon became a start-up called Matternet – a network for transporting matter – which aims to help the one billion people who do not have year-round access to roads.
Raptopoulos said the new system would be used to leapfrog the building of infrastructure, in the same way mobile networks have overtaken fixed lines in poorly connected countries.
In this case, eight-propeller UAVs can be used to transport small items weighing up to 2kg, establishing a potentially lifesaving connection decades before a modern road network could be built.
"Somehow the world caught on to this idea of using a technology [drones], which has a really bad reputation, for a really good cause and try to give the developing world not an example of following what the west has done but to figure out that there is a better way – to do for transportation what we did for communications," Raptopoulos said.

In sub-Saharan Africa, 85% of roads are inaccessible during the wet season, cutting off huge swaths of the population and hindering the transport of medical supplies, he said.
There are three parts to the system delivering medical goods: the UAVs themselves, landing stations where packages can be dropped off and transferred, and the software that ensures vehicles get securely from point to point. Because of their short battery life, networks of drones are needed to work together, shuttling between ground stations, said Raptopoulos. "Instead of one vehicle running for 60 minutes, there would be six for 10 minutes each," he said. "If you only fly between those [ground station] points, you know where those points are and [what is] around them. If there is a mountain, you know how to avoid it."
He added: "Then your job becomes connecting those two ground stations in the same way every time. Our concept is having those ground stations physically placed where you need them in order to put loads in the system."
The operating system would also ensure that drones would not collide with each other.
Matternet has carried out test runs in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Lesotho, in the middle of an Aids epidemic, has been identified by the company as somewhere the system could usefully transport laboratory samples around the countryside. A pilot is planned there for later this year.
The company is part of a hope that came from the Singularity University that drones could become less a military tool than one with practical uses in the developing world.

"When you think of all the robotics companies in the world, I don't know any whose first customer was not military. This is how robotics companies are built," Raptopoulos said. "We thought: screw that, we are going to replace the military with the humanitarian.
"I have a huge bias but I have not seen any application that I think is more important, more inspiring. We have this impression of robots being scary and taking our jobs. What if you took them to a place that really needs them and save lives?"

Most of the nine Matternet staff are based in a Palo Alto office, while the remainder work from London. Four investors have put money into the company and it aims to raise between $3m (£1.8m) and $5m more in its next round of funding, in exchange for an undisclosed stake in the company.
Aid agencies are being targeted as first users, Raptopoulos said, and pharmaceutical and logistics organisations will also be approached. Sales to the military have been ruled out. Ideally, villages would be able to buy the drones and base stations and transport items between themselves.
"Anybody can basically set up the transportation networks. It is decentralised. You don't need governments, you don't need big companies," Raptopoulos said.
"We won't replace trucks and trains but we are talking about helping these people leapfrog so that they have basic healthcare and maybe not build roads in the way we have. The thing I am spending most of my time on is how we show that this system can work in the field.
"Then, once we prove that and start scaling, there are all sorts of problems, like how do you make sure you have safety at scale and that thieves are not stealing [the drones]. I call them happy problems." He added: "We are set up as a for-profit company and our goal is to change the world and we believe that profit will follow that. Somehow I feel the companies of the future are going to be like that."

What it costs

Approximate costings from Matternet put the price of unmanned aerial vehicles at £6,000 each and ground stations at £3,000 each. A network of five ground stations and 10 UAVs, as well as setup and training, would cost a charity in the region of £90,000, according to Raptopoulos. An eight-propeller drone can carry 2kg and travel 10km in good weather. Batteries need to be replaced every 600 cycles. "If [charities] know that this works and they know that it saves lives, it is not that big an amount," he said.Feeling tired?

Sa a se yon lot ATIK ki eksplike koman MEDSEN SAN FWONTYE ap itilize "DRONE"" ann AYITI ki ap yon MODEL pou lot peyi ki pa gen anpil VWA PENETRASYON:

http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2015/jan/09/drones-tech-natural-disasters-medical-developing-countries

Mon petit doigt m'a dit que ce sujet vous intéresserait. J'étais plus ou moins au courant des multiples applications des drônes mais l'ampleur du débat m'a définitivement capté.

Nou kritike e nou dwe kritike mesye MEDINA yo pou jan y ap trete "KOUZEN nou yo ;men se pou bayp sa .yp pa GOUVENMAN KONPA ou TIPIKO ou byen "CARIFIESTA"

Mesyedam MEDINA yo deja we ke "DRONES" yo se "game changer" yo deja ap ize yo lan anpil bagay lan RD.
Kom nou ka we y ap ekri LWA sou ITILIZASYON yo;yo ize yo pou SIVEYANS FWONTYE.
Gen yon ZON ki rele LATIBONIT lan RD tou ,se la mwen kwe ke sous FLEV lan ye ;se yon kote ki REKILE anpil se kontinyasyon MON nou rele "LES MATHEUX "an,y ap ize "DRONES" lan ZON sa yo tou:


Strict official flight rules peeve droners

Santo Domingo.- The Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC) regulation of unmanned aircraft (drones) has peeved some operators, especially those who use them for aerial photos and films.
They also note costs of added Customs taxes as high as 80% to enter the country; the norm’s restrictions on operational hours and restrictions on points of filming.
Juan Javier Galvez, of the company Drone RD, calls the rules exaggerated on the requirement for insurance because in his view it’s very difficult to see a drone crash because "its security system is almost perfect."
"Of course, non-professional pilots can collide and well, fall but after the first week of flight that is reduced to 98%. It is quite simple to learn to crew a drone," said the expert, quoted by listin.com.do.
The IDAC requires certified operators, sets flight altitudes for aircraft weighing 4.4 pounds (2 kg) to 55 pounds (25 kilos) and visual contact at all times.

Hélas! La population dominicaine, elle, peut avoir l'impression que ça bouge pour elle tandis qu'en Haiti tout espoir est presque perdu que ce pays aille de l'avant.

On dirait le jour et la nuit... le soleil lève à l'est et se couche à l'ouest...

Regulated drones to buzz over Dominican skies soon

Santo Domingo.- The buzzing of drones over  Dominican Republic skies is no longer the stuff of science fiction, as their flights will range from taking high resolutions pictures and video from above to messengers delivering packages and even pizzas quickly and cheaply.
Civial Aviation (IDAC) director Alejandro Herrera said drones will face regulation to ensure safety, and revealed that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is working on regulation protocols, as a guide which local authorities are expected to use as a reference.
"This is a new process, not only for us, ICAO itself is starting the process to create a regulation. I think we will examine it to adopt it here shortly,” Herrera said in statement to mark International Aviation week with a seminar on Thursday and Friday.

Mon cher, c'est la preuve que ce pays est sur sa lancée. Pas question de regarder en arrière. Vous pouvez me corriger mais même quand Haïti se met à jour sur le plan de la technologie, c'est assez bâclé. Je ne vois pas ce que cette technologie va améliorer chez nous dans l'immédiat. Sauf bien sûr dans le cas mentionné de l'utilisation de ces machines par des organismes étrangers comme MSF.

Avant de parler de développement et de modernité dans leurs coins de pays, je suggère aux Haïtiens d'aller vérifier qui réalisent la plupart du temps ces projets locaux dont certains gouvernements saccageurs s'enorgueillissent. Il faut aussi aller sur place pour observer de près la vie quotidienne du citoyen haïtien ou bien s'informer, on ne doit pas se fier à la propagande des maffieux populistes.

Mwen yon ti jan pridan devan itilizasyon tem "popilis" lan sitou ann AYITI.

Mwen pa fin two konprann sa l vle di ,sitou lan konteks AYISYEN an.
MANIGAT te konn ize ekspresyon "anako-popilis" pou karakterize tout MOUN ki pa we bagay yo menm jan ak li.

Mwen menm konn tande TERORIS GNBis 2004 yo ap pale de POPILIS pou karakterize PATIZAN ARISTID yo.

Menm NEG ki te mete peyi an TET anba ,te fe SAN koule a FLO pou yo te jete ARISTID.

Mwen te vle fe ti remak sa yo !

Voyons donc, le populisme est commun à tous les partis, surtout ceux qui opèrent sur des bases illégitimes. Je vous l'avais prédit, maintenant le pays est pris en otage, on semble connaître l'ennemi, mais personne n'ose ni le confronter ni l'affronter.

Le danger, c'est qu'en Haïti, le populisme consiste aussi à entrer publiquement et directement "lan lanman" de la population et elle vous trouve comique et présidentiable. BEURRRK!

JOEL, les inégalités existent dans toutes les sociétés sauf que dans les milieux sérieux, on travaille à les minimiser. Cela dit, je continue à croire que la faute revient pour beaucoup aux personnes qui laissent leurs coins de pays pour aller constituer et renforcer une classe de misérables et de sans vergognes dans une ville infernale comme Port-au-Prince. J'écoute toutes sortes d'offenses et d'affronts dont des nègres se disent victimes à Port-au-Prince alors que chez eux, tout le monde se respectait.

Je sens que vous êtes déçu et fâché de la tournure des événements. Vous avez tellement raison d'observer que ces chiens d'hommes ont mis le pays à l'envers et fait couler le sang pour renverser Aristide. Entre nous, n'est-ce pas bizarre et gênant que tous ces grands patriotes, défenseurs de la souveraineté nationale n'arrivent pas à se débarrasser d'un individu qu'ils déclarent tous indésirable? C'est dire à quel point ils sont malpropres.

Pour vous et pour bien d'autres, rêver d'une Haïti meilleure se transforme quotidiennement en un cauchemar. Si les élections ne servent à rien ou plutôt servent à légitimer les oppresseurs et les saccageurs du pays, je ne sais pas pour vous mais pour moi, fuck them all, il faut prendre les grands moyens. Il est temps que les Haïtiens, les vrais, se lèvent pour débarrasser le pays de tous ses ennemis internes.
