1. Ziyan Unveils Long Endurance Unmanned Helicopter at UMEX 2024
Ziyan UAS has showcased its new product, the Shadow S3 long endurance unmanned helicopter at UMEX 2024, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center.
As a next-generation smart aerial platform, the Shadow S3 has undergone a complete upgrade in both its industrial design and performance. Designed to revolutionize operational efficiency, it brings forth several innovative highlights.
2. New Capabilities for Efficient ISR Missions in GPS-Denied Conditions
Auterion Mission Control expands its functionalities and allows it to efficiently execute ISR missions even in GPS-denied conditions.
In today’s world, flying Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in GPS-denied conditions is crucial for the success of ISR missions. Auterion Mission Control equips operators with essential tools and capabilities to support them in achieving their mission objectives.
3. Next-Gen RESEPI Scanner Powered by 3D LiDAR SLAM Engine for Digitization
Inertial Labs along with Kudan Inc., has released a new generation of its Remote Sensing Payload Instrument (RESEPI) solution, where Kudan’s cutting-edge 3D LiDAR SLAM algorithm “KdLidar” is adopted as the engine to generate high-precision and high-resolution point clouds.
While RESEPI was initially developed for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based remote sensing, Inertial Labs identified growing market demands to expand RESEPI’s capabilities to support a broader range of sensing modalities, including integrating handheld and backpack-based mapping capabilities.
4. Customised Control System for Surface-Submersible Craft Developed
Pioneering provider of intelligent technology to control uncrewed marine vessels Dynautics has developed a customised control system for Subsea Craft based on its commercially proven SPECTRE autopilot technology.
Dynautics was approached in 2023 by advanced maritime technology specialists Subsea Craft, to collaborate on the vessel control system for VICTA, the company’s next-generation maritime payload delivery platform, which according to Subsea Craft is the world’s most advanced surface-submersible assault craft.
5. Vanilla UAS Flies for NASA in Greenland
The Vanilla unmanned aerial system has flown a mission for NASA to the inland sheet of Greenland.
Thule Air Base, now known as Pituffik Space Base, hosted Platform Aerospace to carry a sensor provided by the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS).
