Explore UST’s round-up of our five most read articles in the industry this week, including new technologies, collaborations, white papers, and industry successes.
1. AI-powered Companion Computer for Autopilot Modules
Earlier this year, Mistral Solutions launched the MRD5165 Eagle Kit, an advanced AI-powered Companion Computer cum Drone Controller built around Qualcomm® QRB5165 SoC, for CubePilot Modules.
Designed for NDAA compliant applications, the MRD5165 Eagle Kit delivers unparalleled compute and flight capabilities in a compact, modular form-factor, and comes integrated with Cube Orange+ or Cube Blue. MRD5165 Eagle Kit can also be used for any other variant of autopilot modules from CubePilot.
2. Partnership Formed for Underwater Topography Mapping
To enable long-range bathymetric surveys and inspections, Xer Technologies and YellowScan have partnered to integrate the YellowScan Navigator bathymetric system into Xer Technologies’ drones.
Bathymetry, the study of underwater terrain, is crucial for industries such as environmental monitoring, coastal management, and infrastructure development.
YellowScan’s cutting-edge green laser LiDAR technology is now supported by Xer Technologies’ advanced long-range, heavy-payload capable drone platform, providing a unique long solution for underwater topography mapping.
3. Advanced INS with Edge Processing Released for Underwater Robotics
Greensea IQ, a manufacturer of advanced technology for ocean robotics, has launched two new edge processing systems: the IQNS and IQNS Mini.
The advanced edge processing systems are designed to elevate the capabilities, scale, and scope of underwater robots in defense applications.
The systems draw on Greensea IQ’s EOD Workspace with superior guidance, navigation, command, and control (GNCC), as well as onboard artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) processing.
4. DJI Drones Enhanced with Automatic Target Recognition Technology
Sense Aeronautics has shared how its Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) solution integrates with DJI drones, enabling real-time video streaming and analysis for applications such as border control, surveillance, and search and rescue missions.
The company leverages cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) to convert drone footage into actionable insights, delivering real-time video analysis for drone technology.
5. Sierra-Olympia Introduces New High-Definition Infrared Camera
Sierra-Olympia Technologies, a leading innovator in thermal imaging solutions, has released the Viento HD10 infrared camera.
This next generation, high-definition, long-wave infrared camera offers USD, GigE and SDI connectivity to a DRS Leonardo camera core, making integration easier on a variety of OEM installations.
Built around an industry leading 10-micron pixel pitch camera core from Leonardo DRS, the Viento HD10 has three array formats available at 1312 x 1056 Max, 1280 x 1024 (SXGA) and 1290 x 960.
