**[0:12]** hello hello everybody how are you thanks for joining us for this session as the session suggests this is uh the FlytNow app store introduction launch where we're gonna talk about how you can leverage the FlytNow platform to develop your own application so as the use of the docking station is exploding across used cases we regularly receive requests from for support for various capabilities like somebody wants to do a ai based object detection or accounting for security somebody wants to follow a pipeline if they are doing an inspection somebody wants to do a 3d you need stretching and so on so how can we extend capability of the flight club platform and let people use docking stations and build applications on top of that to cater to these kind of variety of applications initially it looks like a very big task where you need to actually build lot of components and there are a lot of things which are going to building this autonomous

**[1:15]** application well I'm glad to update you that our product team at FlytNow has just the right solution to address the seemingly seemingly surmountable task where you it's a big task where you are actually building an application with the docking station so let me welcome our next set of speakers director of strategic projects full stack developer at FlytBase to break this down for us and to share with us what has uh been the team have been working on to help uh ensure that the FlytNow is able to service all the specific user requirements so uh let me just quickly introduce and tell you more details about theories in karish so veerage heads the strategic projects team at FlytBase his team conducts all the rnds on steroids so they're responsible for ensuring that the flight based platform is continuously evolving dedicated to demanding global customer requirements while building industry standards for enter device communication multi-agent teams and developer interfaces as well so dhirish holds a master's

**[2:18]** degree in robotics from georgia tech and he's passionate about building robots distributed system and doing stuff with machine learning he has over seven years of diverse experience in architecting and developing drone based solution for winter by inspection warehouse monitoring perimeter security etc on the other hand girish works as a full stack developer at FlytBase and is a well-known ml and ai practitioner well well works with multiple languages web technologies and development tools so he has explored a range of tech stacks from cross platform applications as well as uh he has transitioned from industrial iot to drone automation so I welcome you garesh and uh to this session so with that over to you dears and karish thanks sachan for the introduction hello everyone I am hi everyone I'm welcome to the session okay so let's start with it so FlytNow is being used across multiple verticals

**[3:21]** uh to this date for example security and surveillance survey and mapping construction mining emergency response etc what is common across all these verticals it's the need for repeated drone operations or drone flights over a similar same area for example in case of security the security teams want to monitor the area 24x7 so that they'll have a complete coverage and that's why they need to fly drones repeatedly over the same area maybe a nuclear power plant or something like that in case of construction the team wants to fly the drone repeatedly so that they can have the measurement of progress over the time so it again brings focus on flying over the same area repeatedly so there are multiple applications like this where there is a need for flying the drones again and again over the same area right now is particularly addressing those scenarios by offering first light automation

**[4:24]** we have been doing so uh this has been pretty common in the industry for a long time the next thing is the diab with dib FlytNow can now offer even the battery servicing part so practically with FlytNow plus bib which is again like a FlytNow platform uh FlytNow open the ib platform now the users can you know fly complete missions autonomously have the battery swapped etc and they will never have to kind of go to the deployment sites which could be mountains which could be in deserts or which could be along a gas pipeline which goes through a lot of desert or maybe jungles etc so there is no need of you know putting a team like a ground crew just to change the battery or keep the drone at a location etc with FlytNow these applications can get a test of autonomy so this is like this is just what has what we have looked at so far what is next in

**[5:24]** these applications or these verticals so as the FlytNow adoption is growing we are looking at lot of domain specific requirements in terms of features in terms of curated workflows or specific integrations let me give you some examples security teams now these security folks want us to implement uh human detection nameplate detection number plate detection also car detection because they want to identify these objects and maybe record those or raise some flags okay why is this person what what this person is doing loitering around in this park when like there is supposed to be no person here at all and raise an alarm over that so they want features like that in case of public safety they want particularly curated workflows for example a lot of public safety officials they are coming back to us and they are saying that we want to deploy the drone within five seconds from the box we don't want to wait for a minute that's their use case they are not very big on uh using the waypoint missions or

**[6:28]** anything at the same but instead they want to you know deploy the drone as soon as possible and then take it around the places have very good controls so that they can operate it remotely from their office from their teams across maybe you know the the other teams which are working with them etc in case of workflows for construction they are not they are not in kind of uh they are not in kind of a rush uh as the public safety guys they are saying that okay we don't care if you take two minutes to launch but launch it fly the drone get the data upload everything to cloud all the images from the drone to cloud get us the photogrammetry processing get the photogrammetry done and give us the 3d maps or like the stitch photographs and just send it to those send those out to us we don't want to operate anything that's that's the kind of workflows they are looking at their workflow start at in the erp software that okay we need this data and then what can we do with data where can we share it how can we put it in our bim software

**[7:29]** or get some close on the bi software use them in the planning planning stage etc so these are the kind of workflows that these uh folks from the construction industry are looking for in terms of integrations we saw that for example security they want to integrate everything with the vms softwares which are very common in the security industry for a long time so these are pretty much standard and naturally drones are just going to be a part of the security setup there will going there are going to be already a lot of security cameras alarms etc deployed and these vms have been doing a great job at working with those but then drones kind of come in and they bring in like another advantage but then security guys want to have these vms and FlytNow work together very well this is kind of a integration perspective in construction they want they don't want these vms of course they want uh building management uh systems uh and they want to integrate with erp etc because so that

**[8:33]** they can have their processor streamlined for that so like this is like various kind of features workflows integrations uh you know these are the requirements that we are looking at so uh of course FlytNow like doesn't cater to all of them today uh but at the same time we have we always expected that this is going to happen so let's see what we are going to do to uh you know support these so that's like that's why we'll be launching the FlytNow app store so let me give you some background back when we started building FlytNow we first started with opening our platform to drones we had this modular approach in our mind so we worked with a lot of drone manufacturers for example we support ps4 autopilot and we support all kind of DJI drones uh we are working with other manufacturers to support their drones on our platform as well so our platform is kind of open to drones uh and to adding new drones we have uh proper uh abstraction layers built into our platform so that multiple drones uh are supported and applications developed on top of our platform

**[9:37]** they're always compatible with the drones which are added to the uh to the platform then we focused uh then we moved our focus to the boxes we made our platform open to the boxes and that is that is why uh as a result of that we have 10 partners who are working with us uh that's like 10 docking station solutions we already finished integrations with and the units are in production with at least three to four partners at uh as we speak today and uh the I think and and then again in this we have added a lot of abstraction layers we have been helping with fnds sdks etc to make sure that these box manufacturers can integrate their boxes with our platform very easily so that's how the flight top platform is kind of open for boxes and then the next stage we understand that there are going to be a lot of apps there are going to be a lot of domain experts who will have ideas around particular segment and dell for them we have open door platform for applications

**[10:38]** so these app creators can now come and create applications on top of our platform so let's look at you know how this platform will look like so uh pardon me for a big complicated diagram but I'll uh try to make it simple so let's just focus on uh the middle layer first FlytNow platform so this is the basic platform uh you know this is the FlytNow platform that bridges the hardware and that lets the app creators create app store uh the apps on top of it so at the lowest level in terms of hardware we support drones as I mentioned uh DJI px4 autopilot parrot etc and uh in terms of payload we support various cameras grippers parachutes and like there is delivery payloads there's tethered drones etc there are a lot of payloads that we support and then of course the key part of the autonomy is docking station and charging pads so we have been working with various

**[11:38]** manufacturers to support their docking stations and we are also exposing our sdks communication protocols so that more and more docking station manufacturers can come and join us uh so the the layer on top of that is of course the FlytNow platform and the key bottom most layer is drone adapters and payload manager so these are the layers which kind of abstract every everything out and on top of that we have intelligent edge modules such as precision landing which is key component for docking station and many other use cases even in delivery so we have been uh offering collision avoidance object tracking on that layer then we offer key layer for uh the cloud connectivity uh we see that this uh so not all applications have to be cloud-based we do support local as local deployments as well as cloud connect cloud connected applications uh it's just about uh how that particular application is supposed to be so uh the key modules which are on top of those are advanced modules such as drone

**[12:42]** in a box integration mission logging air object detection in cloud mission planning etc so these are the key modules which kind of work on top of these layers and then on top of all of this we everything is secured by security and authentication so we provide token based authentication we provide private secure deployments so that everything uh can be deployed at wherever is required and the security uh requirements are met and of course on all on top of all of this there is developer tools uh FlytNow provides a wide range of apis so that the developers or app creators in the future they can take advantage of the capabilities provided by drones hardware and also the middle layers that's like no platform offers there is like uh there are sdks to make the developers job much easier rather than just integrating the apis and then there is key component called drone simulator uh greece will be talking more about this uh later on so we understand that the app developers don't have access to all kinds of

**[13:48]** drones all the time and if they have developed everything and test it on each drone it will take them significant time to go to market and considering that we have like uh we have focused on creating these drone simulators which support various drones and once the apps are tested on this there is a lot of work that can be uh you know reduced when the app goes to flight testing stage so this is like the basic FlytNow this is like the base FlytNow platform uh and open roll in the box platform uh which we will be exposing for app creators will come and join and create the apps on top of us so there could we are expecting that there could be a lot of vertical specific apps like security surveillance public safety oil and gas inspection aerial survey asset inspection wind turbine inspection like and so on there is like no limit uh inherently what we are kind of uh you know offering here is a reliable well tested uh

**[14:51]** you know proven uh autonomy platform and nobody will have to redo the work again because it took us like years to get here we had to work with so many partners so many customers for various applications and from like as a you know getting all those learnings together from years of experience we have built this platform and we want to you know have the drone industry move forward based on top of this you know instead of recreating uh you know or reinventing the wheel all over again so uh we also do provide a lot of enterprise enterprise integrations and some of the app stores uh some of the apps in that store can use make use of that as well for example crm softwares integration with bi softwares erp google drive sap aws etc so these will be common tools or the external uh enterprise integrations will be required for many use cases that's what we look at look forward to so this is at a high level and uh you know this is

**[15:58]** I think uh the most important thing that we are doing to enable the next wave of uh you know drone applications using autonomy so let's go to girish and uh see this platform in action and how does it look like how sample applications look like and then we'll also talk about uh what the app creators are going to get how app creators are going to get benefited from this over to you girish thank you that was uh really insightful so uh let us first take a look at how the app store will look like uh on the FlytNow dashboard so uh the app store will be an integrated part of the FlytNow dashboard this will make sure that users will be able to quickly search the applications they will be quickly able to install them and they will be able to like quickly see the documentation as well so uh users will be able to categorize these applications according to various verticals so that uh let's say if a user wants to uh install applications only specific to construction industry so

**[16:59]** they'll just filter out the whole app store with construction domain and they'll be recommended with all the features or all the uh apps that are more relevant to that particular industry uh this will also make sure that like uh the user is not getting overwhelmed with uh the whole or the other apps that are not like useful so yeah the apps will also have certain uh download trends they will also have certain ratings to them and also certain documentation uh for each and every app so that the uh user who wants to install the app will have a detailed knowledge about what the app will do so yeah it's a kind of a glimpse of how the app store will look like uh next let us uh take a safety use case so uh for a user who is into safety and surveillance use or safety and surveillance industry vms is a tool that is really useful so video management system can give certain data through which uh

**[18:01]** the end user can maybe uh detect uh objects humans or uh any uh faces so that uh like it can be further processed as uh it can be categorized as intruder or maybe a normal user and then a certain action can be taken place over that particular uh data so uh in order to uh so let's say that uh the user also has uh the drone as the first responder uh in case of an intruder direction in this case how flight now will be extended uh to use the vms data let's uh take an example uh and let's see how it will be done so uh the user will be first installing the uh particular app through the app store and he will be kind of able to see that app on his dashboard so he can turn off turn on the human detection system and it will kind of uh enable that particular app so as you can see on the left side uh you like the cctv footage from the vms system is displayed uh right below the uh tool and uh let's say if there is an uh

**[19:06]** intruder detected on that particular uh camera feed so the user will be alerted on the front now uh FlytNow dashboard itself and user can take certain action that particular location so in that case the location details will be given by the vms system and that will be using uh on the FlytNow dashboard through which drone will be getting the exact locations so don't be getting the exact end point and uh and location and user moving moving to that particular location so this is the end screen where the drone has reached to that particular location and uh user can maybe uh check uh through uh different uh thermal pallets different uh zoom angles zooms or maybe uh he can play

**[20:07]** a recorded loudspeaker audio and yeah he can take further actions so uh sorry sorry to uh there I think we can't see your screen if you can share your screen again uh there was some uh maybe the bandwidth uh just once again yes if you can share it again yeah is it better now yes yes we can see it uh I'm supposed to be facing some issues from the greetings are you there with us please can you please share the screen again uh yeah and just keep sharing the

**[21:15]** screen okay so uh like as garesh was mentioning in this use case so it's a external vms system which is integrated with FlytNow and uh you know the user goes and kind of installs this app and then user enables this integration so that the external vms system can provide alarms of course these vms provide all kind of features to detect intruders and all of that and so like with this app users can leverage that capability from vms into flight now so uh so here when the user enables uh user can maybe see the video cctv camera video feed in FlytNow itself and as it progresses let's say there is a intruder uh of course otherwise the story won't continue uh girish can we just go to the next slide yeah let's say the the vms system detected an intruder uh what's next so we'll see

**[22:18]** maybe a screenshot a screen grab from the cctv where is it and of course this is the tv is they know already the locations for them based on that uh a location for that event uh or that events location was sent to FlytNow and there is a automatically option for launching the drone to work location there is all kind of small settings that the users can do which don't be used to send their etc and this will of course you know as it as the FlytNow progresses this will all look very different but this is just like a basic representation of how things will look like based on where we are today and let's say the user selects a drone and says launch now the drone will you know start from here go to the launch location and provide a live feedback and then now the operator can look at the live feedback see that okay there's an intruder let me maybe turn on my speaker and give him a warning to get lost or maybe you know start flashing led to scare him away etc uh zoom into the camera so that

**[23:21]** maybe I can take a picture for authorities etc so there are countless possibilities like that of course like now the beauty is in you know having this application standard require automatically here so that the security guys they can have very seamless workflows so yeah for sample application yeah in case you're back yeah sorry for the glitch I'll just continue so yeah uh now let's just like let's just uh take a look at what offerings will FlytNow provide to the app creators so uh let's say uh you are a domain expert and you have certain team of developers and who can develop certain applications for your specific domain and you need to use FlytNow as the core platform so in order to use any other platform the docs or the documentation should be really on the point so we'll specifying all the data that you can use from right now there will be a number of

**[24:25]** caller bits that will be provided uh depending on the type of application that you want to develop there will be web sdks as well through which uh you will be like able to develop your uh application quite easily and quite quickly and obviously uh there will be test environments as well so in order to test whether uh your application is behaving uh correctly uh with respect to the drone data so here the drone simulator that is already a part of FlytNow will uh come into place and yeah so uh the third party developers can take advantage of that part as well so uh there will be uh quite good of uh docks uh boilerplates and sdks available for the developers through which it will be really easy for any developer to just like go through the docs and uh develop their own applications yeah over to you sorry I wasn't muted okay so thanks garesh for giving a brief overview of how this

**[25:27]** app store is going to look like and what kind of use cases are possible with the apps and I think I think this gives a pretty much good layout of how the things are going to be so let me explain uh what are the advantages for app creators so of course the first and biggest advantage is leverage being able to leverage FlytNow autonomous stack as I mentioned this is one of its one of a kind uh one of its own kind uh stack where uh you know all the autonomic pieces for a drone application are already sold be it in for like assume you are going to work in a wind turbine application but you would still need to swap batteries you would still need to fly the mission repeatedly and you would still need to manage even the life cycle of your box you will need to send updates etc there are so many pieces and you know working on these little pieces will uh you know take out most of your time and uh the business logic or the particular logic for that particular application that you're going to apply

**[26:30]** it will be like the last thing because you let of course invest in so many things good that with FlytNow autonomous tag all of this is not a request like you will not have to do all of that that's like the biggest plus for ad creators who will be using FlytNow app platform platform the next biggest advantage is of course uh you'll get to monetize your apps uh there will be a straightforward uh kind of monetization structure so that uh for every app that is kind of uh used by the users uh will result in monetization for the creators and I guess there have been like a lot of examples around this in other industries we are just bringing it here the third third advantage is that app creators will be reach out to will be able to reach out to many users who are using FlytNow and this is kind of becomes a center marketplace where it will be easy to reach out to those users to FlytNow so that this is like at a high level around uh right now app platform so we'll be

**[27:30]** planning we are planning to launch this in q1 sorry q3 to q4 uh roughly no hard commitments yet but at the same time we are start going to start working with select partners uh our partners uh in few weeks if in case you are interested in being early user of the platform uh I would suggest uh you know quickly reaching out to our support team and our business team uh write to our business team and uh request for being a partner and then uh they once we uh once the program launches for those partners you'll of uh uh you'll automatically be notified about that uh about that store program so yeah this is uh uh everything from garish and me um uh I hope we have uh a lot of questions uh looks like there's a lot of activity in chat uh we welcome any questions and in case uh you want to follow up later uh you can write to us over our contact details

**[28:30]** yeah thanks great great thank you that was a great session thanks for taking us through this journey this is really exciting a lot of people have been looking at this but how can they create apps and this is the first step toward that direction of course we already have partners who are building applications on top of it so feel free to connect to our team and we'd be able to help you uh with that now uh let's move to some questions so one question is what kind of streaming protocol does the FlytNow stream engine use is it rtfp stream protocol okay uh thanks for uh uh sorry I'm if I'm not pronouncing you I'm sorry if I'm not pronouncing your name correctly uh so we use webrtc prominently for communication the live video stream from drone to your browser but we also do support uh rtmp plus rtsp uh this is of course kind of a customization required uh there are some other

**[29:36]** services that we have to use to convert the video streams to these specific protocols uh if you have a particular requirement around that please feel free to reach out to our support team or our business team and they'll be happy to uh you know help you with the correct solution okay thanks yes uh a question is a little bit career oriented uh as a fresher if somebody is looking to get into drone or autonomy industry or automated drone industry what kind of skills are required uh if say if you consider something from a computer science or a development background okay girish do you want to take that up sure sir so uh yeah like as a fresher uh you need to get the basics right so uh all the basics about maybe developing a sas product uh how do how does uh maybe an iot product or iot uh system will work what are the protocols so you need to do certain projects and it will be

**[30:37]** helpful for you to understand the uh kind of basic components that are used that will be that are prominent in this particular domain and yeah definitely like by basics I mean the programming languages and yeah the full stack tech and all yeah so girish can you just focus on a few technologies which would be which could come handy uh the next question is of course on the same cards that how can they develop their first own application what are the things they should take care of the technology uh so if you can just shed some light and these if you want to add something to that as well how can somebody start developing their first one application so you just probably can talk about the technologies first yeah yeah so uh talking about the uh drone technology so it is broadly divided into two parts which is uh software and hardware side so uh the software side uh currently I would suggest uh going with web technologies is the uh best part because being a web a developer you can kind of develop across platform applications right from uh mobile

**[31:42]** applications to maybe the advanced web applications as well and desktop applications as well so uh yeah learning javascript learning typescript is good to have through which you can like kind of work and maybe use libraries to control the actual hardware so javascript is kind of prominent so there was a latest article uh by spacex as well that the dashboard that spacex dragon uses is kind of developed in javascript so yeah like uh going into web technologies would be a good part for hardware software iot uh software drone application and uh maybe theories can suggest more on the hardware side yes there is okay so there is a bit of specialization in software as well so everything that girish mentioned it comes right at the top of the uh you know application level so basically there are a lot of things that need to run at on the edge which are usually real-time uh processes for example if you want to do

**[32:46]** precision landing it cannot run in cloud so cannot use web technologies uh it has to be in maybe in python's or c plus plus it kind of kind of has to use raws etc so these are like kind of at a uh edge level but once you go in cloud uh or if you're doing something remotely uh web technology is the way to go because then you can of course work with dashboards and other systems restful apis etc very easily on the hardware side uh of course there is a lot of learning which has to be done specifically to understand drones there a lot of common concepts uh from robotics but then yes uh you need to build your own drone to learn the hardware first at least months yeah okay yeah this is I guess what I would say great this alice's ask do the drone can directly upload the data capture to the cloud for example aws s3 without need to take out the sd card so basically since it's a remote

**[33:47]** system of course uh we need high quality data it does the flight term system provide that and how can somebody use it so uh yes uh FlytNow does provide uh you know this feature to automatically pull the data from the drone and drone sd card and then upload it to s3 and maybe then again you can pull it up pull that data from there and put in your custom applications yes uh that feature is available in FlytNow you uh in case you are interested you can talk with our business team uh get uh get it to try uh get your hands on that and how does it work so we kind of just use DJI's sdks and their apis to pull the data uh you have to of course keep the drone on for all that time uh so that we are able to fetch that data so we don't remove sd card or anything uh we just pull it over the wireless network yeah that's right just to share my thoughts working with organization makers a lot

**[34:51]** of them have now built a system where uh we can just download the data on the edge and then it could be uploaded to cloud some customers might just need data on the edge if required or if you're sitting remotely you can get access to data to the s3 and this is already there so if you want to try that out feel free to reach out to us and we'll be there to help you uh great the next question is uh from uh particularly from the terrain elevation data point of view so can somebody get a terrain elevation data is it available in the platform how can we calculate camera point of view from the drone okay yeah again these are kind of domain specific requirements uh that I'm seeing here so we do provide uh importing uh terran specific information file in the FlytNow platform so that users can get their uh elevation data and plan their missions according to the terrain data uh uh you know calculating the

**[35:51]** camera point of view we don't support it uh yet but we welcome you to write a app on that this platform goes live unless we do that before yeah great there is on the api side is it rest api that can be consumed by an app developed in delphi uh I'm not sure about delphi but we do provide rest apis and websocket apis and nearly any modern programming language has kind of libraries built into support rest apis so I I am just deducing that yes that's going to work okay yeah right okay let me just head to some more questions uh on the other tab so uh there was one question where somebody wants to detect objects in live feed uh will they be able to get access to video feed from the app or the platform

**[36:52]** yes yes this is like very interesting uh you know question so we understand that uh app creators would be really enabled if we give them access to the video feed but I'm thinking that their video feed is not going to be enough we kind of understand that many of the app creators want to use deep learning machine learning on top of these images some computer vision processes so we are going to we are working on uh another platform where users can just uh you know use uh providers with their machine learning models and the platform will subscribe to the video feed process and whatever the results are and already over the video and stream it again or send those send those annotations to uh you know wherever the users want so that they don't have to worry about the you know setting up this whole pipeline we'll be setting it all for them or machine learning as well as computer vision so users will have to just you know provide

**[37:52]** their logic or provide their deep learning models of course they'll you know the privacy of those will be sorted out but uh finally users will be able to quickly deploy machine learning and deep learning uh algorithms for their use cases and just to add uh along with the apps there will be also uh certain integrations available like tensorflow can be integrated uh in the app so that it will make uh like the development quite easier especially for machine learning site great you touched upon privacy so one of you can just quickly help us understand the privacy how those things are taken care of in the platform in terms of security authentication etc so yeah thanks for that so basically privacy and security uh also safety is let me add that is also a very big concern so uh you know app creators do like maybe by mistake they need something and that result in a drone crash that would be a

**[38:54]** beautiful thing to you know have so we have designed uh things in a modular way there has been like these apps done in a sandboxed platform so that uh you know there are only limited things uh that they can do and any safety critical systems are not affected by apps these are the primary design practices that we have that we have followed while coming coming up with this platform so uh safety and security are kind of handled in that case in terms of privacy uh actually can sure okay in terms of uh data privacy we follow uh with uh all the compliance in terms of how the customer data is shared with the app users uh sorry the app creators so there will be structures to you know letting the user know that this is the data that will be shared this is your personal data that will be shared with the app creator when you use this app and it will be creating will be will create those

**[39:58]** formal structures uh which are like commonplace in the rest of the software industry uh to protect the users uh from like uh wrong use of their personal data with app creators or even other users and so that will also be sorry just to add there will also be certain reviews happening once the developers submit their apps so it's not something like you uh develop a certain thing uh and you just like kind of publish it there will be a whole review pipeline uh which will kind of uh check the all uh data access and what all the security breaches are there so yeah that will be taken care of right got it got it so up in in a way if but we talked about the data part but how how about the drone part how that is secured can somebody just hijack that drone and take a remote control how is that taken care of okay that's a good question so it's kind of beyond the purview of FlytNow platform uh if the drone has inherent

**[41:01]** security flaws uh those uh have to be handled separately but I think it depends on the manufacturer and what kind of technologies the manufacturer has used in the maybe remote control or maybe the flight controller on the drone etc but uh the off-the-shelf drones that are available today uh we haven't really heard like hijacking events uh happening uh until now with the regular of the shell drones that everybody uses but uh I I guess this is something that the drone industry needs to keep in mind and drone manufacturers have to keep working on to protect the drones uh against hijacking and safety and like security issues right in the networking sessions we were having discussion about good drones and bad drones okay so of course uh that is something where there is counter us technology as well as the good use of the drone so that needs to be taken care of uh we're up

**[42:02]** on time I'll just take one more couple of more questions roman has one question about the poi well uh when a point of interest kind of method would be available uh in the FlytNow so you can talk about both the perspective uh in the FlytNow as well as can somebody create a eoi kind of uh mission uh using the app store or the app on top of it certainly so yeah uh so again like uh all the features that we build in FlytNow today are uh based on the common requirements across verticals and as soon as the app store will be launched you'll of course be able to uh come and build that application uh get that functionality in like know yourself through our app uh and that should be possible yes okay that's great uh I think yeah we we are already up on time uh let me just thank both of our speakers so thank you kirish thank you uh veeraj we can now visualize

**[43:05]** how this app store will unlock potential of FlytNow platform and how it would enable developers to build automated workflows for various use cases I can easily see the analogy of how phones came out and phones were just meant to be for a calling internet or message but now we have so much more in terms of applications from cab healing to food delivery to what not so this will certainly help our partners and organization makers our road service providers to cater to wide range of user requirements and help further uh expand the open div movement so thank you everybody thanks for joining us today uh this was a session with your FlytNow apps you'll be hearing more about the app platform and dedicated events related to this in the coming months so stay tuned to the flight based channels that's great thank you everybody please head over to the expo section uh now the

**[44:06]** next one would be an exp expo where we'd be uh talking about taking to the virtual booths uh various drone solution providers drone rated product manufacturers so please don't miss out that that's really interesting you'll get to learn a lot there as well as see product interact with all the boots and if you wish to get in touch with their representatives click on the register interest uh button right there to schedule a one-on-one meeting and please feel free to visit the reception or the session tab at any time to learn more about the upcoming sessions and I hope you enjoy the rest of the next chat thank you for tuning in today thank you everyone it was a pleasure bye you
