NASA drone test demonstrates use case for compact radars built by Bill Gates-backed Echodyne

2021-03-15T16:16:19+0000

Last month, a drone was tested to do a pipeline inspection over 14.5 miles of pipeline. During the test flight, the drone used Echodyne’s remarkably small radars to detect and avoid “non-cooperating” aircraft on its own. The manufacturer claims that Autonomy is the future. Radar is the absolutely essential sensor you need in the array. But Echodyne says it needs the Federal Aviation Administration to finish writing regulations for unmanned aircraft before its business will really take off.

Search and rescue drones tested at an offshore wind farmSearch and rescue drones tested at an off

2021-03-15T13:12:51+0000

Researchers have been testing for search and rescue operations at the Rentel offshore wind farm in the North Sea. The trials come as the drones are readied for autonomous surveillance, rescue, and detection missions in the near future. The drones also use artificial intelligence to automatically process the images and other data captured during the flights. This will allow many of the jobs currently done by humans to become fully automated, lowering operating costs and response times. The system can also alert a response crew if they are needed.
