As part of a three-year contract, Cyberhawk will provide its visual asset management software to an oil and gas operator during the construction of a new petrochemical complex in the US, Cyberhawk announced on 16 April.
The operator was seeking a detailed software solution for its construction project that would allow a digitised view of UAS-captured data such as orthophotos, spherical images, 3D point cloud models and videos collected on-site on a weekly basis.
Cyberhawk was selected to provide drone content management and distribution services through its visual asset management software, iHawk – a cloud-based software that hosts inspection and survey data from various sources and has industry-specific solutions for the wind, utilities, oil and gas and infrastructure sectors.
The main phase of the project is already underway, which involves the construction of processing units, cooling towers, rail and truck loading facilities, water treatment plant, office buildings and laboratory at the new petrochemical site.
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.
