The Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems and its NASA Unmanned Traffic Management partners flew multiple unmanned aerial systems over a week-long testing period at the Nevada UAS Test Site at the Reno-Stead Airport. This third phase of NASA's...

In its latest aerospace forecast, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is predicting "phenomenal growth" in the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) sector.

Some five years ago, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International ranked Kansas seventh out of the top 10 states with major opportunity in unmanned aerial systems. The AUVSI predicted that by 2025, the UAS industry would provide Kansas...

In most power applications, a battery is used in combination with structural or support elements. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) typically include batteries that are mounted in a polymer composite airframe and common circuit boards routinely support batteries. Efforts to lessen weight and create more space for other components in these battery-powered devices have typically focused on increasing the power and energy density of batteries. Army researchers have departed from the conventional approaches to optimizing battery-powered electronic systems and devices, and they have invented battery systems that are sufficiently rigid and strong to function as panels, columns, beams, pylons, and other structural elements of the objects in which they are incorporated. For example, portions of the airframe of a UAS may be fabricated from structural batteries, which reduces its weight and increases the amount of electrical power carried.

The University of Tulsa Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is planning an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) competition on the TU campus August 25-28 2017. UAV systems are effective in recruiting middle and high school students to fields related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The industrial applications of UAV systems continue to expand, and TU is home to innovative UAV research.

Hosted by the Enid Regional Development Alliance

Our intent is to create an opportunity where those interested in exploring the UAS field for investment purposes can meet like-minded investors, share insights and experiences and meet possible co-investors.

The two companies presenting are Aker Pest Network, www.aker.ag and WiBotic, www.wibotic.com.

If you are interested in receiving an invitation, contact Jim Troxel at jtroxel@wbtangels.com.

Registration opening soon.

Dronetech America is about more than flying robots, it's about the intersection of advanced technologies that have the power to transform the world! ​

sUSB Expo the Silicon Valley Drone Show is a commercial sUAS event for business to business exchange of ideas on commerce. The Expo features guest speakers from around the world and a SAR workshop, new in 2018 sUSB Expo Demo Field Day.

If you're looking to harness the power of unmanned technology, AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2018 is the spot. An intersection of cutting-edge innovation and real-world applications, XPONENTIAL is the one event that brings all things unmanned into sharp focus....

The Conference spans four days. June 12 will be a Workshop/Tutorial day, followed by a three-day technical Conference on June 13-15. Judging from the interest ICUAS has drawn over the past eight years and its growth, ICUAS'18 is expected to attract...

Technology dveloper Raytheon is developing a new technology suite capable of directing and controlling swarms of small autonomous air and ground vehicles.

The Federal Aviation Administration recently released a refresher on its Part 107 rules for small unmanned aircraft system operations, covering commercial and government uses for drones weighing less than 55 pounds.

After a slow start, the Pendleton, Ore., UAS test site is starting to see business pick up while a handful of permanent jobs in the drone industry begin to trickle in. But test ranges across the country are pursuing the same economic development goals as Pendleton, and administrators from three other test-site states — Nevada, New York and North Dakota — spoke about the gains their programs have made in the past four years.

As scientists ramp up their research in an effort to better understand climate change and how to mitigate damage caused by it, they're increasingly employing the help of a certain high-flying technology. Unmanned Aerial Systems, more commonly called drones, are helping us to gather the data needed to further scientific knowledge about how our environment is changing.

Amazon.com has been granted a new patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a delivery drone that can respond to human gestures.

The uncontrolled market in toy or hobbyist drones makes their future use in a domestic terrorist attack "likely," says a researcher and lecturer on drone warfare.
But it will still require sophisticated technical skills to deploy them effectively.

Solar-powered drone maker Aerovironment retreated to the defense business when electric cars stalled. Now it's green again, and investors are piling in.

Boeing is funding the development of advanced radar systems through its HorizonX subsidiary's investment in Fortem Technologies.
