sUAS Detections in proximity to Daytona Beach International Airport (KDAB), August 14-September 22, 2019, displayed with telemetry
A dangerously close encounter between a camera drone and six F/A-18 Hornets flying in formation during a recent U.S. Navy Blue Angels demonstration over Detroit, Mich., confirms the latest aviation safety research released by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Continue reading
Operation-Centric Approach to Help Frame Future Standards
This notification has as purpose to inform the members of the European drone operator community on the upcoming UAS OPS survey that has been created in the framework of the AW-Drone Project, which is funded by the European Union in the context of the Horizon 2020 Programme. Continue reading
Mosquito Night Navigation Inspires New Drone Obstacle Avoidance System
Scientists have used the principles that guide a mosquito’s nocturnal flight to develop a quadcopter equipped with an elegant collision-avoidance sensory system. Their research, published in Science, demonstrates how the mosquito avoids obstacles in the dark by sensing changes in the airflows generated by its flapping wings. Continue reading
NASA Making Skies Safe for Unmanned Aircraft
NASA’s UAS Integration in the NAS project, used the Navmar Applied Sciences Corporation’s unmanned TigerShark aircraft for its Flight Test Series Six project.
NASA and its partners are taking flying unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) closer to operating in harmony with other aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS). Continue reading
Reliable Long-Range Multi-Link Communication for BVLOS UAS SAR Operations
Researchers at the TU Dortmund University have just published a 22-page paper which addresses the challenges of UAS usage in maritime SAR scenarios which lie in the remote control as well as the real-time exchange of acquired information like sensor data, videos, and images. Continue reading
