		<description><![CDATA[Lives and millions of dollars could be saved using solar technology and a new unmanned flight system design for round-the-clock surveillance. Queensland University of Technology engineers are creating a solar unmanned airborne vehicle capable of providing 24-hour services to emergency services, without fuel or pollution. The Green Falcon solar UAV &#8211; designed by PHD student, Wessam Al Sabban and aerospace avionics engineering supervisor, Dr Felipe Gonzalez &#8211; has completed its preliminary flight testing and with further development and funding, could be available for use in the next year. &#8220;Bush fires in Australia have killed many people and caused millions of dollars in damage. The Green Falcon is a next generation warning system with remote sensing and visual data capability,&#8221; Dr Gonzalez said. &#8220;Unlike manned aircraft, which have restricted air time, unmanned aerial vehicles could provide 24 hours surveillance and coverage of disaster areas. &#8220;Solar energy runs the Green Falcon by day and charges its battery for night power, which discharges slowly until morning when a new cycle starts.&#8221; &#8220;It is fitted with infrared cameras to locate distressed people and relay information to emergency services on the ground. The UAV system can be used in emergency planning and search and rescue [...]]]></description>
