In a column on this page Tuesday, transportation expert Barry Prentice of the University of Manitoba explained that an airship could provide more effective and continuous aerial surveillance than a helicopter, which he described as old technology.
Helicopters require daily maintenance, but airships need just one serious inspection every 1,000 hours, he said. The list of benefits in airship technology over helicopters goes on and on: less fuel burned, less noise, greater stability for mounting surveillance equipment and the ability to operate in an unmanned, remote-control mode.
The other advantage of an airship over a helicopter is its ability to carry payloads of up to 2,000 kilograms and to respond to emergencies outside Winnipeg and as far as northern Manitoba.

Air medical healthcare (AMH) professionals care for critically-ill individuals while conveying them to healthcare centres from distant, and frequently dangerous, locations. AMH professionals experience additional health and safety issues beyond the "typical" stressors faced by other healthcare professionals. Therefore, we integrated the safety and psychosocial health literatures to examine the relationship between workplace stressors (risk perception, worries, and patient-care barriers) and two components of burnout (emotional exhaustion; depersonalization), and the moderating impact of job control and team efficacy for 106 Canadian AMH professionals. Worries over medical hassles and barriers to patient care uniquely predicted emotional exhaustion. Lack of perceived control over one's j...

[Marc Sharpe] operates the first unmanned aerial system (UAS) -- it's built like a mechanical dragonfly but flies like a mini-helicopter -- by a North American police force. It's also the best crime-fighting toy on any police force, as far as he's concerned.
The Draganflyer weighs just 1.4 kilograms. It can go up and down like a helicopter instead of flyovers like Sharpe's remote-controlled airplane. That means it can be operated in civilian settings.
Could a UAS one day be equipped with a firearm to shoot a criminal? "In theory, it's possible," said Sharpe, but "too many things could go wrong" and he's certain Transport Canada would never approve it.
