AirMap’s UTM system has been selected by the Air Navigation Service of the Czech Republic (ANS CR) to bring situational awareness and authorisation services to the Czech Republic’s growing UAS economy, the company announced on 2 August.
The selection is a part of ANS CR’s effort to establish a cost effective, long-term sustainable aviation navigation service for UAS operations in urban environments.
AirMap will provide the ANS CR with access to its UTM Dashboard for the controlled airspace around Prague’s Václav Havel Airport. The cloud-based dashboard will allow Czech airspace managers to have a comprehensive view of their managed airspace, and configure, monitor and automate their management. To begin regulating flights and de-conflicting the airspace efficiently, managers will also be able to provide UAS operators with manual authorisations.
The AirMap for Drones mobile application has been localised to the Czech language. AirMap for Drones mobile application in Czech will also allow Czech locals to take advantage of all the features the application offers.
As the dynamics of aerial combat rapidly evolve, Chinese scientists have engineered a sophisticated air separation drone model that can fragment into up to six drones, each capable of executing distinct battlefield roles and challenging the efficacy of current anti-drone defences such as the UK’s Dragonfire laser system.
Advancements in air defence technologies have begun to reshape aerial combat dynamics in the Middle East, as illustrated by recent events involving the Israeli Air Force and Hezbollah.
Both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war have been using UAS for effective low-cost attacks, as well as impactful web and social media footage. Thousands more have now been committed to Ukrainian forces.
The US Army has intentions to develop light, medium and heavy variants of the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) as part of the branche’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle family.
DroneSentry-X, a cross-vehicle compatible, automated 360° C-UAS detect and defeat device, can offer 360° awareness and protection using integrated sensors. According to its manufacturer, it is suitable for mobile operations, on-site surveillance and on-the-move missions.
Funded by the country’s former president, the new C-UAS systems will be sent to the frontline where they have already been tested against Russian invading forces.
