Vigilant Aerospace is pleased to announce that we have obtained a Commodity Jurisdiction (CJ) determination from the US Department of State for our FlightHorizon GCS product. This new determination, CJ 0370-18, allows the export of FlightHorizon...

Navy engineers invented a triple redundancy solution for precise position, navigation and timing (PNT) in a low cost, size, weight, and power (c-SWAP) solution. GPS is accurate to a few meters, but the new Time-Space-Position-Information (TSPI) technology, using differential corrections, could be accurate to within a few centimeters.

The invention provides the Navy with a novel approach for TSPI in several areas, including GPS denied environments, highly dynamic aircraft, Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), and highly-dynamic guided weapons. This new technology could be a game-changer by enabling a more accurate, reliable, cost-effective addition to the use of GPS for some manned and unmanned systems flight testing and their integration into NextGen.

From sensing with drones, mobile rigs and hand-held devices to AR, VR and 3D printed deliverables, everything 3D is here at the only industry-agnostic, platform-neutral 3D event in the market: SPAR 3D Expo & Conference.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration are partnering with private companies to develop a cloud-based traffic management system that could handle unmanned aerial vehicles operating in the national airspace, the Department of Homeland Security recently announced. The Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management platform enables drone users to coordinate airspace use through a UAS Service Supplier provided they have been registered with the FAA.

FirstNet, a post 9/11 public-private partnership on which AT&T and Telit are collaborating, is enabling first responders to act both more effectively and more safely in emergency situations through the use of next-gen technologies like IoT and drone platforms. The flexibility, bandwidth and coverage of LTE connectivity is key to the resilience of this transformative network.

In the exclusive interview, Commercial UAV News reporter Jeremiah Karpowicz caught up with Christopher Todd, executive director of the Airborne International Response Team, to find out how things have changed for Airborne Response, what kind of real-world differences he's seen drone technology make, what type of insights will be explored at both the LA and Miami UAs disaster conferences, plus much more.

A Morgantown-based information technology business was recently awarded a government contract to help develop technology for drone swarms. NextGen Federal Systems was awarded a Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract from the U.S. Army, according to a release from the company.

A drone that can change shape in flight has been developed by researchers at the University of Zurich to assist with search and rescue missions.

Heavy rain recently caused local creeks and rivers in the Sacremento area to rise and some drivers are taking dangerous risks. Sacramento Metro Fire crews have rushed to the car rescues with their new eye in the sky. The drone, better known as a UAV, is a lifesaving tool the department can now fly.

MetaVista Inc., a South Korean advanced power systems company, last month conducted a record-breaking test flight of nearly 11 hours with a quadcopter drone using an Intelligent Energy fuel cell module. MetaVista developed the ultra-light-weight liquid hydrogen storage tank to specifically work with Intelligent Energy's fuel cell

Aviation regulators published three rule-related notices February 13, including a surprise interim rule on drone identification set to take effect February 25 — without the usual period for comment — under a "good cause" exception.

Many in the tech industry envision a drone-protected border as not just likely but inevitable, helping the US Border Patrol see farther and communicate better. Drones should make it easier for agents to distinguish immigrants and smugglers from the cows and coyotes that prowl along the border, advocates say.

A recently released whitepaper from drone technology provider PrecisionHawk and Skylogic Research outlines the areas of opportunities for BVLOS inspections with electric utilities, insurance companies the oil and gas industry and other businesses. According to the paper, what motivates companies to explore BVLOS operations with UAS are safety, costs, data quality and consistency and time to value.

Op-Ed from aviation attorney Mark Dombroff: "For those of us who care about the hard-won safety of the U.S. aviation system, as well as the extraordinary potential of the fast-growing commercial drone sector, the time has come to accept an unfortunate truth: We are flirting with disaster by making Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) so accessible to untrained, unskilled, less- than-serious "pilots" who treat them as toys."

T-Mobile has filed an application for Special Temporary Authority to use AWS-3 spectrum for testing unmanned aircraft systems in Bellevue and Redmond, Washington.

In this op-ed, the writer implores UAS industry stakeholders to seriously start defending the commercial drone industry when they hear media pundits, government officials and others predict how one accident between a UAV and a commercial airliner will wreck the entire commercial UAS industry.

In 2013, Textron made a bold move to break into the fighter jets market but has failed to sell a single one. One place where Textron found success, though, was with its early entry into the drone wars , where its Shadow unmanned aerial vehicle found quick acceptance from the U.S. Army. Soon, though, Textron could find itself kicked out of this market as well.

This year at the 2019 National Sheriffs' Association Winter Technology Conference in Washington D.C., Icarus Aerospace drew an especially large crowd to their exhibit as the Boeing S-100 Camcopter® was being shown for the first time in a public setting.
