SkyGrid, a Boeing, SparkCognition company, announced that it has released a new autonomous remote UAV operations capability to allow flight managers and operators to control and execute flights from remote locations. Using artificial intelligence and a broad array of airspace-related data feeds, SkyGrid is enabling safe remote operations for missions involving single and multiple drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Organizations can use SkyGrid to facilitate routine\ninspections over an area of interest and generate optimal flight paths for\nmultiple flight segments. These optimized segments are then linked\nautomatically to create complete routes. The company’s advanced route\ngeneration capabilities create the safest route for each drone based on the\nflight plan, environmental conditions, the vehicle’s performance, and the\nmission criteria with minimum onsite support required for flight operations.\nWith the new remote UAV operations functionality, SkyGrid will now allow remote\noperators to create and deploy these automated missions to a fleet of\ngeographically disbursed aerial vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to enabling remote management of drone fleets\nand creation of missions, SkyGrid Launch also allows video feeds from drones to\nbe consolidated to a remote central location, such as a ground station.\nOperators can choose to integrate with precision landing and docking stations\nfor full autonomy and access all flight metrics and visualizations on a single\ndashboard with an easy-to-use interface. For full regulatory compliance,\noperators and pilots on the ground are kept “in the loop” and can\ntake over whenever required. SkyGrid recommends all customers and users obtain\nany necessary regulatory approvals for remote operations or for managing\nmultiple drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This solution enables drone operators to optimize\ntheir human resources and reduce the cost of UAV operations. Drones deployed at\nmultiple sites can now easily be operated from control centers. Subject to\nregulatory approvals, SkyGrid customers can augment or replace on-site pilots\nand enable higher sortie rates at lower cost,” said Amir Husain, CEO and\nfounder of SkyGrid. “SkyGrid Launch allows important use cases such as\nunmanned public safety surveillance, inspection of pipelines, mines, and\nconstruction projects to be addressed at nation-wide or even global\nscale.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SkyGrid is partnered with Raytheon Technologies and has\nfully integrated with its Multi-platform Automation Re-hosting Solution (MARS)\nto launch remote UAV operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Leveraging our MARS technology with SkyGrid Launch\nwill enhance the operator experience and allow them to scale and expand their\noperations,” said Denis Donohue, Vice President, Communications &\nAirspace Management Systems for Raytheon Intelligence & Space.\n“Operators can manage everyone on one dashboard for a flawless experience.\nSkyGrid is a strategic partner and with Raytheon’s decades of experience\nworking in controlled airspace, together we will unlock the full potential of\nunmanned aviation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
