Indian Defence News – 18.01.2021 – The Indian Army has enhanced its drone capabilities, inducting 75 indigenous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can also be used for combat missions to target enemy positions. The combat drones that were part of the ‘swarm technology’ display at the Army Day Parade on January 15 have been inducted in phases since August 2020, boosting army’s surveillance capabilities and also bringing in an element of surprise to carry out targeted strikes to assist troops on the ground. Initially, only five of these drones were bought in August 2020 but in the last few months, as tensions escalated with China in Ladakh and spiking ceasefire violations by Pakistan at the Line of Control (LoC), more of these were purchased, officials said… lire l’article

UAS weekly – 19.01.2020 – SparkCognition, the world’s leading industrial artificial intelligence (AI) company, and SkyGrid, a Boeing, SparkCognition company, today announced a new collaboration to deploy AI-powered cybersecurity directly on drones, protecting them from zero-day attacks during flight. Equipped with SparkCognition’s DeepArmor® cybersecurity product, SkyGrid is the first airspace management system to enable drone protection powered by AI. This approach provides more advanced airspace security than traditional anti-malware reliant on signatures of known threats. “In the near future, we’ll essentially have a network of flying computers in the sky, and just like the computers we use today, drones can be hacked if not secured properly,” said Amir Husain, CEO and founder of SparkCognition and SkyGrid. “In this emerging environment, traditional anti-malware technology won’t be adequate to detect these never-before-seen attacks. SkyGrid is taking a new, intelligent approach by using AI to more accurately detect and prevent cyberattacks from impacting a drone, a payload, or a ground station.”… lire l’article
Bloomberg Quint – 15.01.2021 – Amazon.com Inc. is opening warehouses and shipping hubs in the U.S. at the rate of about one every 24 hours. The ultimate aim is to ensure that virtually every product the company sells is a van ride—and eventually a drone flight—away from customers’ homes. And yet, last week Amazon announced it was buying 11 Boeing 767-300 jets for its air-cargo division, mostly to get products to Prime subscribers. Despite creating algorithms to anticipate shoppers’ needs and opening all those warehouses, Amazon can’t meet its one- and two-day shipping pledge to customers without an ever-expanding fleet of pricey jets. That reality has become clearer since the pandemic fueled a surge in online shopping that has strained the resources of United Parcel Service Inc., FedEx Corp. and the U.S. Postal Service… lire l’article

UAS weekly – 18.01.2021 – With nearly 95,000 miles of domestic coastline, NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey faces a daunting task. Under current FAA regulations, unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operators are required to keep their aircraft within visual line of sight, making coastline surveys time-consuming and arduous, having to tediously map 2-mile segments at a time, and then relocate to the next operating area. To address this challenge NOAA has selected Black Swift Technologies (BST) to develop commercially viable technology enabling GPS-denied navigation of UAS—technology critical in enabling long distance, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights. “Enabling BVLOS operations in the National Airspace System is largely an issue of improved sensing,” states Jack Elston, Ph.D., CEO of Black Swift Technologies… lire l’article
FAA – 15.01.2021 – American Robotics proposed to station the Scout UA in fields at pre-surveyed sites for extended durations, performing flight operations without the need to have a pilot co-located on site with the small UA. Operations under the requested exemption would only occur in Class G airspace in areas having light air traffic, in daylight visual meteorological conditions (VMC), and would be limited to 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Individual missions would occur within the boundaries of controlled access farmland (or similar rural, controlled-access environments) owned or controlled by American Robotics’ customers.
American Robotics applied for a waiver under part 107 to allow American Robotics to operate the Scout UAS beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) of the remote pilot in command (PIC). The FAA issued two waivers 107W-2019-05256 and 107W-2020-01574, both of which permit operations BVLOS but require a remote PIC on site. Neither waiver excused the remote PIC from being on site with the aircraft for the purpose of conducting a preflight assessment. As a result, American Robotics submitted a petition for exemption, as described herein… lire le communiqué

La Tribune – 15.01.2021 – « Le Défi Mermoz », voilà le nom de projet associant l’Isae-Supaero et la PME toulousaine Delair. Leur ambition commune ? Concevoir un drone alimenté par de l’hydrogène liquide afin de traverser l’Atlantique sans escale, comme Jean Mermoz en 1930. Seulement, le duo doit trouver sept millions d’euros pour mener à bien ce projet et il compte ainsi sur les géants de l’aéronautique. En cas de succès de la mission, des briques technologiques pourraient être utiles dans l’optique d’un avion à zéro émission en 2035. L’union fait la force ? C’est en tout cas le choix opéré par le concepteur de drones toulousain Delair, l’un des leaders mondiaux sur le sujet, et l’Isae-Supaero, l’une des meilleures écoles au monde en matière d’ingénierie aérospatiale. Jusqu’à présent, tous deux ont fait chemin séparé sur la question de l’hydrogène, avec la DGA pour Delair et H3 Dynamics pour l’établissement de formation. Désormais, les deux acteurs du secteur aéronautique s’apprêtent à relever ensemble « le Défi Mermoz« , du nom qu’ils ont attribué à leur projet collaboratif… lire l’article
