Due to coronavirus, EagleHawk's business was dried up. But they changed their thoughts and removed thermal cameras from its drones and replaced them with a device that sprays disinfectant.
CEO Patrick Walsh said to media," As a team, we just kind of took a step back and said, ‘How can we help be part of the solution going forward with COVID-19."
According to reports, the disinfectant is stored in a tank on the ground. It is pumped to the drone through an attached hose. A second drone flies near the disinfecting drone to hold the hose up to prevent it from getting caught on a seat or other objects.
