uAvionix has announced successful development of the world’s first Mode 5 Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Level 2 Broadcast (M5L2B) combined transponder-receiver (CTR). The CTR is being designed as a form and fit replacement upgrade to the AIMS-certified (Mk XIIB) RT-2087/ZPX, the world’s smallest Mode 5 transponder. Continue reading
The market for UAV and AAM is booming – micro-logistics, Urban Air Mobility or last-mile-transportation offer numerous promising applications. UAV and AAM companies demand components simultaneously trusted and tailor-made – Volz Servos score with decades of experience, certifiability and countless options. Continue reading
BAE Systems expanded the capabilities of its Digital GPS Anti-Jam Receiver (DIGAR) by enabling beamforming with Trimble receivers in addition to its own receivers. DIGAR’s beamforming capabilities increase the level of GPS jamming protection for aircraft by a million-fold – helping pilots execute their missions in contested environments. Continue reading
Draganfly Inc. has announced the launch of its new North American-made Long Range Light Detection and Ranging (“LiDAR”) system. Continue reading
The majority of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) rely on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to maintain a stable position and/or to navigate between waypoints. Added to this weakness, any small drone system that relies exclusively on Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors to estimate aircraft attitude and which does not fuse data from other types of sensor may be vulnerable to GNSS jamming attacks.
