How FCC Licensed Aviation Spectrum Enables BVLOS Drone Flight: AURA Networks
They say communication is key. This adage applies not only to life in general, but also to the integration of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) into the US National Airspace System (NAS). More than a decade ago, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) identified the need for UAS-specific aviation communications capabilities and related policies to enable regular commercial flights beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). made possible. controlled airspace. Achieving this requires both the frequency spectrum allocated to the civilian he UAS control and non-payload communications (CNPC) link (the link between the UAS and pilots on the ground) and the associated minimum performance standards. They said it would be They drive relevant UAS communications policies and guidance.
HAMR: AFWERX will fund further development of advanced aircraft hybrid advanced multi-rotor
advanced aircraft company (AAC) was selected by AFWERX for the SBIR Phase II contract to further develop HAMR: AAC’s Hybrid Advanced Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aerial System. HAMR’s multi-rotor configuration and distributed electric propulsion system give the aircraft outstanding flight endurance. Additionally, HAMR can accommodate multiple simultaneous payloads. “The aircraft can be optimized for a wide range of defense applications and mission profiles, including tactical ISR, perimeter security, search and rescue and medical supply delivery missions,” the company said in a statement.

FlytBase and Iris Automation integrate ground-based detection and avoidance with FlytNow software for automated remote drone operations
Enterprise Drone Autonomous Platform Provider FlytBase Announced partnership with leader in safety avionics technology iris automation It integrates FlytBase’s FlytNow and Iris Automation’s Casia G ground detection and warning system to enable safe BVLOS flight. The Casia G ground surveillance system continuously monitors the airspace to ensure the safety of UAS operations from intruders. Using Iris’ AI and computer vision technology, its sensors provide a complete optical 360° field of view for locating aircraft within a 2 km radius. As a ground-based solution, Casia G does not require additional payloads to reduce the weight of the drone. Additional units can be used to extend the monitoring coverage of the solution to form a network of detection nodes and meshes.

CrewID™: Give Drone Teams the Identification and Access They Need
The drone industry is ready to expand. Drones are increasingly being seen in residential areas, on job sites ranging from construction to telecommunications, and in applications such as delivery and power line maintenance. Unmanned systems offer tremendous benefits to businesses and communities, but drone teams are still under scrutiny from bystanders and stakeholders. Drone operators and their crews are frequently asked to describe their presence, name their employer, and provide permits. Many teams appoint one member of her crew to address the question. Some use cones, vests, or barriers to mark drone missions as legitimate commercial activities. Drone service providers and enterprise drone teams need a way to identify operators, visual observers, and maintenance crews with secure and widely recognized identities. Identity facilitates access to the workplace and enables identity management on an enterprise level.It is such a space CrewID™ Ready to meet.
