    SMALL SENSORS WITH A BIG FUTURE: LightWare launches world’s smallest lightest microLiDAR, gives machines eyes

    7 June 2021 – Drones and other autonomous vehicles have changed the world with their ability to go where humans can’t. Yet, these machines are vulnerable to accidents that can wipe them and their cargo out instantly because they lack the essential human quality of sight. USA based LightWare LiDAR is taking autonomous machines to... Continue reading

    The Autonomous Future of UAVs

    In October 2020, Skydio announced that the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) was granted a first-of-its-kind approval by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct operations beyond visual line of site (BVLOS) for bridge inspections. These inspections are conducted using Skydio Autonomy, an AI-based flight engine that enables operations in obstacle-dense environments and areas... Continue reading

    Black Swift Technologies contracts with NOAA to develop a backup navigation system for when standard GPS fails

    Jamming. Spoofing. Interference from the landscape or cityscape. Interference from other flight equipment. Such snarls arise often enough with satellite signals to make it clear: Routine UAS flight beyond the line of sight (BLOS) will likely never happen with traditional GPS technology alone. To assure safe travel over long distances, unmanned aircraft systems need greater... Continue reading
