In a new approach for safe airspace integrations for their\never-popular drone light show services, Great Lakes Drone Company has partnered\nwith Fortem Technologies for airspace management and mitigation for their show\nperformance venues. The Fortem SkyDome solution will be installed in Great\nLakes Command Trailer for the 2019 performance season. This state-of-the-art\ntechnology will allow Great Lakes Drone Company to see any threats quickly and\naccurately during performances, as well as help their venues mitigate any\npotential rogue drone incursions during airshows or festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technology is rapidly changing, and safe airspace\nintegration is key to the ever-evolving industry. In 2018 Great Lakes had to\nshut down one of their performances early as a curious spectator flew their\ndrone too close to the performance box. When running 60, 100, 200 drones in the\nair at a time it\u2019s very hard for someone to know where all the drones are. They\nalso will not know where they will be going if they are not actively involved\nin the operation. \u201cThe Fortem SkyDome solution provides an added layer of\nsafety and security to our performances,\u201d says Matt Quinn, CEO Great Lakes\nDrone Company. \u201cThis partnership will also allow us to provide UAS airspace\nmitigation for the two largest aviation events in the world, with SUN \u2018n FUN\nand EAA Air Adventure in Oshkosh, not to mention all three of the AOPA Fly-In\u2019s\nin 2019. This helps us take safety to a whole new level for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortem Technologies is an innovative leader in AI-enabled\nairspace security and safety. Fortem delivers a commercially available solution\nthat alerts, identifies and classifies drones and other unmanned aircraft\nvehicles (UAVs) through its rich geofencing technology in the sky. \u201cWe are\nhappy to partner with Great Lakes Drone Company to help ensure safe events for\nnot only their audiences, but to help protect the investments they have made in\ntheir drone fleet. Fortem is the only vendor that controls and owns all the\ntechnology end-to-end to provide a turnkey, robust and maintainable solution\nthat is \u201cfit for use\u201d to protect against all drones, day and night, flying on\nwaypoints or emitting RF.\u201d said Gregg Pugmire, VP WW sales of Fortem\nTechnologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
