Skyward has introduced an information management solution for commercial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators, the company announced on 9 September.
The cloud-based solution complies with regulatory requirements and integrates a UAV airspace map, which shows operators where to fly, with flight planning tools configured for specific requirements and a digital system of record to manage personnel, UAVs, and equipment.
The Skyward solution also features online storage for regulatory, insurance and operational documents, and support from regulatory and operational experts for approvals, compliance and reporting.
Jonathan Evans, CEO, Skyward, said: 'In the last year, I've seen the commercial drone market evolve rapidly, with over 1,400 FAA grants to date. Skyward gives those operators comprehensive tools to access the sky and meet their business objectives. Skyward is committed to powering the next generation of aviation.'
Kevin Gould, Hawk Aerial CEO, said: ‘Hawk Aerial needs a system to schedule, track and document our flight operations. Skyward is that system: comprehensive, easy to use, intuitive. Skyward allows us to conform to the requirements of our 333 and COAs, and also provides critical operating data to track performance and profitably run our business.'
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.
