The world’s largest ecosystem for unmanned systems #technology and #innovation.
Here’s a quick roundup of some of this week’s top news and developments in the unmanned industry…
Meteksan Savunma?has exhibited the FELIX On-The-Move Counter-UAS System, for the first time at IDEF 2023. The next generation close-range air defense system can detect and jam faster UAVs from higher altitudes with its increased elevation coverage and updated frequency rate.?
Designed for the detection, tracking and neutralization of tactical and Kamikaze UAVs, FELIX is thought to be a force multiplier for Turkish security units in the protection of both fixed facilities and VIP/convoy protection, and one of the few UAV defense systems in the world with the ability to operate on the move.
Blue Robotics?has released an article explaining the different types of sonar used in marine robotics, including on ROVs and Unmanned Vessels.
The article explores the most common categories of sonar devices, including echosounder sonars, imaging sonars, and acoustic positioning/velocity sonars.
Skyports Drone Services’s?new partner?Speedbird Aero?is making its debut for the Orkney I-Port operation, Royal Mail’s drone delivery project in the Orkney Islands.
Speedbird Aero’s electric multirotor DLV-2 drone, which has a payload capacity of 6kg and a range of up to 16km, has been selected as vehicle of choice for the Orkney I-Port project due to its large payload volume, well suited to carrying cargo such as Royal Mail parcels.
