DRONE SPORTS Inc. is pleased to announce that our domestic inspection drone, 'Rangle Pro,' and our initiatives in infrastructure inspection using drones will be featured on the Niconico Live program 'Niconico Oshigoto Tour,' produced by Dwango Co., Ltd. The broadcast will begin at 19:00 on Sunday, March 29, 2026. https://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv350160779 Seeing 'places humans cannot enter' with drones—The reality of inspection sites as told by the program Infrastructure inspection using industrial drones is being introduced in various fields, including steel mills, power plants, sewage systems, and bridges. However, the reality of 'what is happening' on-site is often difficult to convey through data and reports alone.

Our track record of over 1.6km of continuous flight within sewer pipes and our proprietary flight technology for non-GPS environments caught the attention of Dwango Co., Ltd., leading to this feature on the program. The program will be hosted by Professor Kurolab, a National Museum of Nature and Science-certified science communicator affiliated with Yoshimoto Kogyo. The program is structured to clearly convey the 'technical prowess' and 'intensity of the field' of drone inspection from both scientific and entertainment perspectives. Program Content—Inspection demos in plant environments and piloting experience For this program, with the cooperation of Kajima Corporation, we recorded drone inspections using the 'Rangle Pro' within a facility that simulates an actual plant environment. The main content recorded includes: ・Close-proximity flight around steel structures and piping ・Entry into dark, confined spaces such as crawl spaces where humans cannot stand ・Inspection footage via FPV (real-time video from the drone's onboard camera) ・Demonstration of hovering stability in non-GPS environments ・Interviews with pilots and engineers On the day of the broadcast, in addition to commentary based on the recorded footage, we will also conduct a real-time piloting experience using the actual equipment from our Yokohama office. About Rangle Pro 'Rangle Pro' is a domestic infrastructure inspection drone developed and manufactured by our company, designed for non-GPS environments.
