02 Aug 24. NATS Services and Altitude Angel Deployed Arrow Towers ‘Behind the Scenes’ at Farnborough Airshow.
A new “Detect and Avoid” (DAA) platform which identifies and tracks drones and other aircraft, brought another dimension of safety and security to last week’s Farnborough International Airshow.
The Arrow ground-based DAA, deployed in partnership by NATS Services, the commercial arm of the UK’s leading air traffic services company and Altitude Angel, a trusted UTM (Unified Traffic Management) technology provider, continuously monitored the airspace, notably aircraft operating at lower levels.
Lower-level traffic can be difficult to track using traditional radar systems, and Arrow has been developed by Altitude Angel to ensure safety of all users by detecting authorised and unauthorised traffic – including drones. It is making ‘flying under the radar’ a thing of the past.
Authorities at the show had real-time access to the data gathered by the Arrow towers; NATS and Altitude Angel were able to demonstrate the capability of the technology.
Richard Ellis, NATS Head of New Airspace Users, said:
“A pop up service like this one is a great example of how safety can be achieved in very complex environments where non-cooperative drone activity can have a real impact on an airshow. It’s a privilege to be able to demonstrate the capability of the Arrow technology with the authorities at a premier event such as Farnborough Airshow.”
Richard Parker, CEO of Altitude Angel , added: “Working alongside Farnborough International and NATS Services over the course of a very busy airshow is great validation of the performance – and range – of the sensor and software technologies we’ve developed. The Airshow is a very busy airspace environment, attended by crowds of hundreds of thousands; our Arrow towers, deployed in just a matter of hours, demonstrated an ability to provide vital intelligence to the authorities, a service that can help to safeguard very complex events.”
The Arrow capability, deployed in the Airshow grounds, collected data from a deployment of road-towable mast-based sensors to create a view of lower-level airspace within Farnborough Airport’s flight restricted zone (FRZ) and beyond. The infrastructure was completely self-sufficient, including generation of its own (solar) power and a private communications network, only requiring minimal space from the Airshow organisers. This picture included real-time visibility of non-electronically conspicuous aircraft and drones, those which don’t carry traditional transponders, fused into a single airspace picture.
Alex Culley, NATS GM Farnborough Airport, said: “Our focus during the airshow is to ensure a safe event for visitors and participants and minimal disruption to our neighbouring airspace users. We need a robust and comprehensive view of all traffic moving in and out of the airshow and new technology solutions can help enhance safety, security, and operational efficiency within the airspace.” (Source: UAS VISION/NATS)

A consortium led by AeroVision Canada, Inc., along with principal partners ANRA Technologies and ClearSky Connect, has been selected by Transport Canada, the Canadian aviation authority, and NAV CANADA (the Canadian air navigation service provider) to deliver a Phase 2 trial of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Traffic Management (RTM).
The first phase of RTM trials concluded in 2022 and provided many observations to advance RTM in Canada and inform the aims of future RTM activities. This Phase 2 effort will further refine and evaluate the requirements for RTM services for future commercial operations in a suburban environment.
AeroVision is the project lead and RPAS service provider that will conduct trial operations in the Halifax area with a combination of use cases, including RPAS package delivery while using RTM services.
“We assembled a team that will provide technologies to advance the development of performance and safety assurance requirements identified in the Transport Canada and NAV CANADA Concept of Operations,” said Trevor Bergman, CEO of AeroVision Canada. “Our team will deliver services that are key to establishing an RTM system for Canada, starting in the Halifax region, and has the support of local government.”
This trial aims to prove theoretical concepts for developing an RTM system and provide Transport Canada with the resulting data to inform the performance level requirements for RTM service provisions.
“As advancements in drone technology continue to redefine aviation, air traffic management must also evolve for the safe and successful integration of RPAS into Canadian airspace,” said Ryan Coates, Executive Director of the RPAS Task Force at Transport Canada. “Continued collaboration between industry, the ANSP and government will help us understand the capabilities and limitations of state-of-the-art technologies and provide vital information for developing sound safety rules and regulations.”
“The second phase of trials will offer crucial experiential learning for the development of the Canadian RPAS Traffic Management system, enhancing the safe integration of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems,” said Alan Chapman, co-chair of the Trials Executive Steering Committee (TESC) and Director of RPAS Traffic Management at NAV CANADA. “Integrating third-party services and capabilities with NAV CANADA’s centralized services, will ensure airspace safety while collaboratively advancing new use cases, including those that require Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations,”
ANRA Technologies will be the lead RTM Service Provider (RTSP), leveraging its international experience and ability to integrate its traffic management system with its Flight Information Management Service (rFIMS) for a complete, end-to-end RTM system.
“ANRA was there at the beginning when RPAS traffic management research started in 2015. Today, we are finally seeing the first indications of a move towards commercialization,” said Amit Ganjoo, Founder and CEO of ANRA. “We are proud to be selected as a consortium partner supporting Transport Canada’s and NAV CANADA’s pursuit of RTM.”

In partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD-AS), Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), and industry partners AgEagle, Skydio, Auterion GS, and AX Enterprize, the team successfully conducted flight operations while relying on Somewear’s software-defined network as the communication backbone. Somewear’s network delivers real-time telemetry data for small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) and the operator to the mission command center.
During a three-day event, Somewear Labs demonstrated the future of airspace management for drones to securely operate anywhere in the world. The demonstration tested the integration of Blue UAS with the Collaborative Low-Altitude UAS Integration Effort (CLUE) Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM) system – which enables the safe, secure, and efficient operations of UAS within the National Airspace System.
As part of a cohesive team effort, AgEagle and Skydio, renowned for their sUAS, utilized third-party ground control hardware and software to manage their drones. Auterion GS, an experienced developer of ground control software, supported the successful integration of Somewear’s Android application in QGC-Gov, a government-owned UAS software. The ground control stations ran Somewear’s Android application in the background, granting access to Somewear’s software-defined network and resilient data flow.
“For third-party drones utilizing Auterion’s software, Somewear’s integration means access to a redundant, interoperable network where diverse systems can effectively communicate and operate. Such collaboration not only elevates operational efficiency but also paves the way for future innovations in unmanned aerial systems,” said Senior Program Manager, Aaron Dahl at Auterion.
Additionally, Somewear Labs’ Node was connected to each ground control station, using SmartRouting, a proprietary networking protocol, to reliably and effectively route data across multiple networks. This allowed both UAS and pilot telemetry data to be sent across the mesh network to a WiFi backhaul and then to the mission command center.
“This collaboration not only marks an advancement in managing unmanned aerial systems but also underscores our commitment to supporting the last mile of JADC2. Our software-defined network is designed to ensure mission-critical data can be shared between warfighters, battlefield assets, and command centers,” said James Kubik, CEO at Somewear Labs. “Our integration framework allows us to integrate with strategic command’s preferred operational platform to extend situational awareness across all echelons of an operation.”
UTM is critical anywhere UAS are operated. Somewear provides a field-tested solution to rapidly deploy a resilient network for heterogeneous drones, securely transmitting critical telemetry data from anywhere in the world. These capabilities empower warfighters and strategic command to confidently recognize and distinguish between trusted UAS and others in the airspace.

30 Jul 24. Update on the Vigilant Aerospace Detect-and-Avoid Project for the Air Force Research Lab. Last October Vigilant Aerospace kicked off a groundbreaking project for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop a detect-and-avoid (DAA) system for the Air Force’s new long-endurance drone. The company has continued to reach important milestones on the path to bringing FlightHorizon PILOT, our dual-use (i.e. for both civilian and military users) onboard detect-and-avoid product, to the military.
This project is being completed under an SBIR Phase II contract, which is a program designed to fill important capability gaps quickly and to utilize technologies that have a high-impact, near-term implementation path for the military as well as having a potential civilian market.
This project represents a major investment by the US Air Force in the future of UAS (uncrewed aircraft system) operations and airspace safety and recognition of the major role autonomous systems will play in the future of both defense and civilian aviation.
The Mission
According to the public project profile, the objective is to “integrate a mature detect and avoid capability on an existing long-endurance, Group V UAS platform for increased aircraft and pilot-in-the-loop operational awareness that leverages new and evolving C-SWaP sensors and sensor fusion software.”
The project solicitation lists goals including demonstrating the utility of the system to several Air Force missions at different stages of conceptual maturity, supporting future missions and a strong recognition that autonomous flight is here to stay.
“Because the FlightHorizon system was designed by NASA for its aircraft tracking and UAS safety needs and has now been adapted to the commercial market by Vigilant Aerospace, this AFRL opportunity allows us to leverage our existing products and experience, and our major investment in multi-sensor integration and algorithms, to readily fulfill the AFRL project goals and rapidly bring new capabilities to the US Air Force,” said Kraettli L. Epperson, CEO of Vigilant Aerospace.
To accomplish this goal, Vigilant is utilizing its FlightHorizon PILOT product, which is an onboard detect-and-avoid system for drones that is designed to consume sensor data, detect nearby aircraft and provide collision avoidance commands to remote pilots or to the onboard autopilot.
The system provides commands that are compliant with the ACAS X collision avoidance standards from the FAA and can also provide air traffic alerts and situational awareness to remote pilots. It’s an extensible, scalable solution which fills an important gap for a viable, onboard, feature-complete, automatic DAA system.
Concept behind the FlightHorizon PILOT system, which is based on two licensed NASA patents.
Importantly, the product is platform agnostic so it can be installed on a wide variety of both military and civilian aircraft and can utilize a wide variety of radars and other sensors. It is also designed to be compliant with the RTCA DO-365C and DO-366 technical standards, to allow for use on any large UAS in the US.
The ability to correlate tracks from multiple sensors in a smart, compact unit that integrates with multiple autopilots and ground control stations provides the military with flexibility and modularity in the deployment of the system on a variety of potential UAS platforms.
Progress to Date
The company has made significant progress in the development and testing of the FlightHorizon PILOT product:
- The FlightHorizon PILOT system has been effectively tested with multiple radars operating simultaneously, allowing it to obtain a wide field of regard for air traffic detection that helps the product to meet industry technical standards for both onboard detect-and-avoid and to support distributed sensor nodes when used on the ground.
- Radar frequency channelization has been utilized and tested to demonstrate that multiple radars can be used without interference with each other.
- The system has been integrated to multiple ground control stations (GCS), including the popular Ardupilot open-source software and other widely used government and civilian GCS systems.
- Vigilant has deployed the software to multiple low space, weight and power (low-SWaP) computers for onboard use, including multiple single-board computers, in an effort to ensure it can be installed on a wide variety of both military and civilian aircraft. This may include both larger military and AAM aircraft and smaller UAS, where space and power are at a premium.
- The system is under development to be operated in either a “pilot-in-the-loop” model, where avoidance commands are sent to a remote pilot to be followed, or in a “pilot-on-the-loop” model, where a remote pilot receives alerts about avoidance maneuvers that will be taken automatically by the system and can intervene if needed.
The Military Need for Onboard Detect-and-Avoid
Detect-and-avoid is a critical area of innovation as the Air Force and other branches of the military begin deploying thousands of new autonomous vehicles and aircraft. Simultaneously, the need for onboard DAA for commercial UAS and AAM aircraft continues to grow as the industry scales up.
According to the US Department of Defense, the US military currently operates more than 11,000 UAS in support of both training events and overseas missions. These aircraft range in size from the small RQ-11B Raven to the large RQ/MQ-4 Global Hawk/Triton, which weighs more than 32,000 pounds.
In addition, US military UAS currently do not have direct access to the National Airspace System (NAS). For flights in civilian airspace, the Department of Defense must obtain a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to allow UAS to fly pre-coordinated routes across the country between Department of Defense special use airspaces.
Adoption of detect-and-avoid systems like FlightHorizon PILOT for military aircraft can improve collision avoidance, increase autonomy, provide better situational awareness and improve integration to civilian air traffic control, which can allow for faster and easier authorizations and safer transits. In addition, better integration of both large military and civilian UAS into the national airspace can also improve US competitiveness as other nations continue to develop large military and civilian drone and AAM platforms.
“This is an important project in terms of fully integrating FlightHorizon into a wider range of aircraft, which is critical to industry adoption and deployment of this technology in the future. It’s also been a highly successful collaboration, with support from the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Air Force and the Air Force Research Lab,” explained Epperson.
Looking Beyond the SBIR Phase II Project – The Implications of this Project
In addition to serving immediate military needs, development and testing of the FlightHorizon PILOT product can bring much needed capability to the civilian Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) market, which is also growing quickly and requires onboard collision avoidance and DAA as much as military aircraft do.
Regarding civilian AAM, according to the latest forecast from Aviation Week, there are expected to be 2,000 commercial electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) vehicles in operation by 2030 and steep growth to 33,000 aircraft in operation by 2050 with Archer Aviation alone gearing up to produce 650 aircraft per year at its new California manufacturing facility. Massive technological innovation and rollout of safety systems will be required to support these growth rates and the dramatic changes to the aviation industry landscape.
This project is expected to help fill an important safety gap across multiple user types:
“This project gives Vigilant the insight and expertise necessary to integrate our dual-use product into multiple aircraft systems and ground control stations, improving the availability of this critical safety system not only to multiple users across the military, but also helps to prepare us to meet the anticipated demand from the civilian Advanced Air Mobility industry for this technology,” said Epperson.
30 Jul 24. An Improved Wireless Power Transmission System for Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
A team of Chinese researchers from the School of Information and Communication Engineering, Hainan University, Haikou, China, has just published a paper on how to improve wireless power transmission system for micro unmanned aerial vehicles.
Abstract
Due to its limited load capacity, the piggybacking of wireless charging systems for micro unmanned aerial vehicles has become a challenging task in the design of micro unmanned aerial vehicles. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved lightweight design method for micro unmanned aerial vehicles to carry a wireless charging system.
The improved system uses an inductor–capacitor–capacitor-parallel (LCC-P) topology compensation network instead of a bilateral inductor–capacitor–capacitor (LCC) topology compensation network to achieve constant current charging (CC) and constant voltage charging (CV). Then the adaptive frequency conversion control is used to realize the automatic conversion from CC charging to CV charging during the charging process.
Compared with the traditional wire- less charging system based on a direct current-direct current converter (DC-DC converter) to achieve CC charging and CV charging, this improved system reduces the total weight of the receiving end of the wireless charging system based on ensuring the charging efficiency, which meets the demand of wireless charging systems carried by micro drone aircraft.
The test results of the constructed physical system coincide with the simulation design results, and the total weight of the receiving end is only 8 g, which verifies the correctness and effectiveness of the improved design scheme.

29 Jul 24. Advancing Adaptive Technology for Better Vehicle Control. Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing company, is advancing its “Fast Adaptation and Learning for Control Online” (FALCON) control architecture for Phase 1 of DARPA’s Learning Introspective Control (LINC) program. The control architecture enables vehicles, in this case uncrewed surface vessels, to adapt their control laws in real time and maintain safe operation in unpredicted conditions.
Aurora, teamed with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Aerospace Controls Laboratory (ACL) and the MIT Marine Autonomy Laboratory (PavLab), had been testing its adaptive control architecture on 1.5-meter-long, uncrewed surface vessels (USV). Moving into Phase 1 of the LINC program, the team is now testing on a larger, 5-meter-long (16 ft) USV.
The team is focused on testing various simulated scenarios. For example, in a relative station keeping scenario, the adaptive control system works to maintain a consistent location relative to another vessel to allow the delivery of items from one vessel to the next, also known as underway replenishment (UNREP). In each scenario, the USV, with Aurora’s adaptive control technology, must successfully complete the mission while overcoming disturbances such as wind loading, thruster failure, and Venturi effects. The program also aims to improve on-board crane stabilization for safer and more precise crane operations at sea.
by Sensor Type, Platform (VTOL Type, Fixed Wing Type, Hybrid Type), Application (Navigation, Collision Detection & Avoidance, Data Acquisition, Motion Detection, Power Monitoring), End Users and Region
When the control system adapts its control laws in real time, and in unpredicted conditions, the vessel acts more reliably, which builds trust with human operators and improves the performance of the human-machine team. Adaptive control algorithms continuously improve performance and safety, without the long-lead times and system updates of conventional control systems.
As part of Phase 1, the Aurora and MIT team will perform at four DARPA LINC demonstration events, one approximately every six months, beginning later this year. Sandia National Laboratories is supporting the test events for LINC, providing opportunities for collaboration on test definition, metrics, and infrastructure.
“Collaboration between experts at DARPA, Sandia, MIT, and the Navy has propelled development forward,” said Graham Drozeski, chief technology officer at Aurora Flight Sciences. “Together, we are advancing technology that can increase efficiency and safety of operations for land, air, and sea vehicles.”
The team has already begun testing on the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts in preparation for the first Phase 1 demonstration. Looking farther ahead, the team plans to continue to advance to larger test platforms, such as a 24-ft, manned vessel.
