As a partner Ainstein will provide the collision avoidance\nsensor, which is integral to enabling urban beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)\nand urban air mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of a credit card, Ainstein\u2019s \u00ce\u00bcSharp Patch Collision\nAvoidance Radar is compact enough to be mounted onto small UAVs. Its\nlightweight and ultra-low power consumption enables your UAVs to carry more\npayload and fly longer without a recharge. Providing sensing and advanced\nalgorithms, it is able to detect objects in all weather and light conditions,\nincluding dust, heavy rain and fog, and night flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe potential for autonomous drone applications will never\nbe realized without using the best collision avoidance sensors,\u201d said Dr. Chris\nWalach, Executive Director of NIAS and the FAA-designated Nevada UAS Test Site.\n\u201cAinstein brings a deep scientific mathematical and engineering expertise as\nwell as some of the top innovations in radar technology for collision\navoidance. We are excited to work with their team to build the future of\nunmanned aerial systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NASA UTM TCL 4 program has partnered with leading\nunmanned aerial systems (UAS) providers to enable flying in higher-density\nurban areas for tasks such as newsgathering, package delivery, and large-scale\ncontingency mitigation. Taking place over several months in downtown Reno,\nNevada, for the first time in U.S. aviation history NASA will demonstrate in a\nmetropolitan area under BVLOS conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNIAS and NASA have assembled and amazing group of teammates\nto propel the global UAS industry forward,\u201d said Andrew Boushie, Vice President\nof Strategy and Partnerships at Ainstein. \u201cFor years, cost, weight, and\nperformance constraints have hindered the wider adoption of radar. We are\nfocused on improving safety and making UAS systems more affordable and easier\nto deploy. We are honored to bring our expertise to such an incredible\nprogram.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ainstein is the only provider offering a full radar system\nportfolio for drones and UAVs, including the smallest radar altimeter on the\nmarket as well as solutions for airborne UAV collision avoidance, safe takeoff\nand landing, and ground based intrusion detection over the operating airspace.\nAinstein products are compact, simple to use, and all weather-proof. In\naddition to the NASA UTM operation, Ainstein is the only radar sensor partner\nin the Kansas UAS Integration Pilot Program selected by the FAA and USDOT,\nproviding sensing technology is critical for next generation drone\napplications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ainstein has announced its participation in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management (UTM) Technical Capability Level (TCL) 4 operation lead by the Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems (NIAS).
