And we would like to\nbe the very first team in the world to establish a safe 3d Spatial Information\nInfrastructure System,&#8221; says Hiro Matsushita, Group Chairman\/CEO at Swift\nGroup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swift Tactical Systems and the Swift group are collaborating\nwith Zenrin Co. Ltd., LocationMind Inc., Intelligent Style, and Space Service\nInnovation Lab (SSIL) to develop a 3D spatial information infrastructure using\nthe spatial ID. There needs to be a platform for understanding and identifying\nflight safety information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NEDO&#8217;s Basic plan for this project is to use the spatial ID\nas a standard index, making it easier and more efficient to search, integrate,\nand utilize a wide variety of spatial information and provide spatial\ninformation in a machine-readable format. By providing this service, we aim to\nrealize the safe and efficient operation of autonomous mobile robots such as\ndrones, automatic delivery robots, and self-driving cars and create new value\nusing spatial ID. Furthermore, by 2030, the Japanese government wants unmanned\naerial vehicles (UAVs) and urban air mobility (UAMs) to fly in urban areas\nwithin Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Data integration of autonomous mobility, including\ndrones, which will connect the digital and virtual worlds, is essential in\ncreating the next generation of services. We have high expectations for this\nproject, as it will be a milestone in this direction,&#8221; says Hiroshi\nSenzoku, Managing director at SSIL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each company collaborating on this endeavor brings a unique\nskill set to develop 3D spatial information infrastructure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>SSIL will design specifications and build the 3d\nspatial information infrastructure.<\/li><li>Intelligent Style will create the database\narchitecture and prototype the system infrastructure.<\/li><li>LocationMind will provide the dynamic data\n(people-flow analyses) to decrease flight risks in Zenrin&#8217;s system and test the\nusefulness of its spoofing protection system. <\/li><li>Zenrin will develop a &#8220;flight risk\nmanagement system&#8221; prototype, which will automatically make flight plans\nusing its algorithms to maintain flight safety.<\/li><li>Swift Tactical Systems, alongside the rest of\nthe Swift Group, will advise, fly and make flight routes of UAVs under the\nguidelines of the &#8220;flight risk management system&#8221; developed by Zenrin\nto improve safe operations of UAVs under the 3D spatial information\ninfrastructure. Swift will use its transitional Vertical Take Off and Landing\nUAV and other platforms to support flight operations. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This project, with its goal of creating a 3D spatial\ninformation infrastructure, will establish safe flight paths for UAVs and UAM\ncorridors in urban areas. We are proud to be a part of this project, driving\nthe development of new infrastructure that will enable the safe and efficient\noperation of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles and create new value using\nspatial ID. By leveraging the capabilities of our partners, we are confident in\nour ability to create a platform that will revolutionize how we fly in urban\nenvironments,&#8221; says Alex Echeverria, President of Swift Tactical Systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swift Engineering announced its Japanese Subsidiary, Swift Xi, signed an agreement with Japan&#8217;s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) in a project called &#8220;Digital Infrastructure Development Project for Digital Transformation of Industries: Research and development on 3D spatial information infrastructures.&#8221; Both Swift Tactical Systems and Swift Engineering will support the project. &#8220;As the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[142,114,90,127],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aam-uam","category-international-news","category-news-release","category-unmanned-systems"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24894"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24894\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24896,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24894\/revisions\/24896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
