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. Honeywell Introduces New Anti-Swarm Drone System for Protecting High-Value Assets
Honeywell is launching its new Stationary And Mobile UAS Reveal And Intercept system, designed to counter drone swarms.
The system integrates beyond-visual-line-of-sight communication with advanced command-and-control capabilities, enabling detection, tracking, and interception of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Suitable for both mobile and stationary platforms, it is aimed at safeguarding critical assets.
2. Group 2 sUAS Selected for U.S. Army MRR Requirements
PDW has been selected to provide its flagship C100 Group 2 sUAS in support of the U.S. Army Directed Requirement for Company-Level sUAS.
The C100 will be fielded to unit elements across the Army to enhance fire and maneuver in near-peer and contested operating environments.
PDW’s C100 supports the U.S. Army’s medium-range reconnaissance (MRR) requirement for a modular, Soldier-portable VTOL sUAS capable of providing effects across reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, communications relay, and kinetic and non-kinetic payload delivery.
3. OceanAlpha Set for Year-Long USV Tour Across the Middle East
OceanAlpha has launched a year-long showcase of its unmanned surface vessels (USVs) across the Middle East region, beginning in Doha, Qatar.
The company’s tour will feature a range of uncrewed vessels, including the M75 uncrewed patrol vessel, the L25 uncrewed marine survey vessel, the SE40 uncrewed water sampling and monitoring vessel, and the Dolphin 3 intelligent remote-controlled lifebuoy.
This initiative is designed to offer potential users an in-depth, hands-on experience with OceanAlpha’s advanced USV products, solutions and applications.
4. Dock Released for Autonomous UAV Flight & Data Capture
In a move that aims to advance the future of autonomous drone flight and data capture, Skydio has launched Dock for X10, enabling drones to be stationed everywhere they are needed, ready to respond.
Dock for X10 was born out of thousands of hours of engineering, with lessons learned from 400 deployments of Dock for X2 and S2+ over the past two years. Reliability is paramount, and with no person present, the complete robotic system from dock to drone to software has to work on its own, every single time, from launch through to landing.
5. New AUV-Compatible Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Unveiled
Teledyne RD Instruments (RDI) has introduced the Workhorse Proteus, the latest version of its industry-standard Workhorse ADCPs (acoustic Doppler current profilers).
Compatible with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), Teledyne’s Workhorse Proteus collects current and wave data, measurements of flow, transport, and discharge, in oceans, estuaries, and rivers.
With the processing horsepower to simultaneously sample at multiple spatial and temporal scales, Proteus is able to unlock a new understanding of waves, turbulence, and the changing currents below the surface.
