Congressmen, aerospace engineers, firefighters, farmers and pilots, among others, converged on Tony's Pizza Events Center on Aug. 21-22 for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Tech Forum.

BVLOS operations will do everything from enable the same-day delivery of goods to the automatic inspection of miles upon miles of infrastructure. That's why the work that the Kansas Department Of Transportation (KDOT) is doing as a member of the FAA...

In our 2019 drone industry survey, we sought out to understand how the U.S. drone industry is doing — are pilots making money? What industries are they in? How often are they flying?

The Kansas Department of Transportation received the green light from the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct a unique drone flight. This flight will be performed beyond the visual line of sight, meaning it will fly past the operator's...

Navy scientist recently invented a system for drone detection, tracking, and controlling.

The technology has the ability to not only receive signals but also transmit signals. For C-UAS missions the system can transmit signals to jam the command and control (C2), telemetry, video, and GPS of the UAS. The system can also send legitimate but spoofed signals to deceive.

The patented technology is available via patent license agreement to companies that would make, use, or sell it commercially.

Application Deadline November 1, 2019 - The Safeguard with Autonomous Navigation Demonstration (SAND) Challenge will be an opportunity for small businesses to compete in an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle competition.

Unmanned and Autonomous Systems are the future of the industry. Why? Drones significantly improve your effectiveness while keeping you out of harm's way. Departments all around the world see the benefits already. If you want to start orgrow your...

General Atomics, a tenant of the Grand Sky UAS Research and Development Park, has received a certificate of authorization to conduct beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights within 60 miles of the Grand Forks Air Force Base without a visual observer or a chase plane. The announcement was made on Tuesday, Aug. 27, by Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., during a panel discussion at the Unmanned Aerial Systems Summit and Expo held at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks.

Bell's Autonomous Pod Transport (APT) 70 unmanned aircraft system (UAS/drone) successfully completed its first autonomous flight on Monday at the company's testing site near Fort Worth, Texas.

The Chula Vista Police Department is testing centrally dispatched, remotely piloted drones as a tool to expand and better prioritize responses to calls.

UAS are becoming a common tool in emergency services, with more agencies using the technology to increase efficiencies and help keep both personnel and the public safe.

Impossible Aerospace has announced that its US-1 "flying battery" quadcopter is the first aircraft of its kind to cross the northern Nevada desert without recharging.

From saving lives in Malawi to sport fishing in South Africa, drones are shaping a new future for the African continent.

Israeli-based drone delivery company Flytrex will begin making food deliveries in Holly Springs, North Carolina next month.

The U.S. Department of Defense will roll out a "trusted capital" program this fall aimed at bolstering the domestic industrial base for small unmanned aircraft, said Ellen Lord, undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment.

Drones are revolutionizing environmental research; however, drones could do much more. Scientists need to work with regulators and software developers to improve laws and data products.

Concerns over honey bee health have led researchers to consider whether technology can play a part in pollination. For some researchers, that means looking into whether technology can replace bees. Harvard researchers have created RoboBees, insect-sized flying robots, and about a year ago, they found ways for the robots to fly untethered from power supplies. Numerous researchers are seeking ways to use tiny drones for means of artificial pollination.

The Oneida Indian Nation recently announced that it has formed a partnership with the Syracuse-based nonprofit NUAIR (Northeast Unmanned aircraft systems Airspace Integration Research) to use drones to monitor, observe, manage and protect its lands and other environmental resources.

Virginia has earned a #1 ranking for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in a recent report by Business Facilities magazine. The 15th annual report, which forecasts future climates for business development and economic opportunity, said that Virginia was the first choice for UAS systems business climate.

Like road traffic, the drones will need a system to navigate the twists and turns of dynamic landscapes — and avoid hitting each another. Yearslong research in Corpus Christi — expected to reach its end in coming weeks — will likely play a small but significant role in development of such a traffic management system.

A study on the public risk from drones led by an Alabama university has arrived at few conclusions, mostly because of the wide variety of unmanned aerial vehicle available and the many ways they can collide with humans.

Drone service firms are finding success in the oilfields.
