The European Defense Agency (EDA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) are partnering on two new projects that will explore unknown or potentially hazardous environments: using drones to monitor disaster-stricken regions or toxic spill sites; Read More
Researchers from Binghamton University and Ukraine have developed a new technique using hybrid drones and shrunken technology to identify unexploded ordinances (UXO) from the air. “There’s this kind of evolutionary moment when the two technologies Read More
Researchers at Tomsk State University’s Supercomputer Center in Russia have developed a method for the automated design of drones based on mathematical modeling using the computing power of the SKIF Cyberia supercomputer. The new approach Read More
Researchers at the University of Central Florida have received a $500,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop a portable detection system that could help firefighters and others accurately detect blazes and Read More
Raytheon recently released a new, immersive military training product – The Synthetic Training Environment Soldier Virtual Trainer, or STE SVT – which uses virtual reality to train squads of soldiers in multiple scenarios. The platform Read More
NanoAvionics has received a contract to provide its flight-proven nano-satellite bus in a 12U configuration for the Singaporean research mission, “Cathode-Less Micro Propulsion Satellite” (CaLeMPSat). CaLeMPSat will occupy more than 9U of payload volume. To Read More
Researchers at MIT have developed a system that can sense tiny changes in shadows on the ground that could help autonomous vehicles determine if there’s a moving object coming around the corner. Successful experiments have Read More
Researchers at MIT have developed a trajectory-planning model that helps drones safely fly at high speeds through previously unexplored areas. The model – named “FASTER” – estimates the quickest possible path from a starting point Read More
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is currently investigating a number of aspects of electric vehicle (EV) technology. One area examines the requirements and feasibility of wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging that would aid in realizing Read More
Researchers at the University of Vermont’s Spatial Analysis Laboratory (SAL) have joined the Federal Aviation Administration’s Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE) to aid in setting guidelines for the safe use Read More
