Unmanned Systems Technology
The world’s largest ecosystem for unmanned systems #technology and #innovation.
Here’s our roundup of the top news announcements from the unmanned industry this week…
YellowScan?LiDAR has been tested and certified as compatible with the?Xer Technologies?X8 UAV platform. Test flight operations and data?acquisition was performed under supervision of?MOST Robotics GmbH, a German drone distribution and integration company, which analyzed?the data from multiple flights and confirmed high quality results.
By combining the systems from Xer and Yellowscan, users are now able to acquire high resolution LiDAR data from several hours continuous flight operations.
Trillium Engineering has announced that Lockheed Martin?Skunk Works, has selected the HD55-LV-CZ and HD55-LV-CZ-LP gimbal payloads to be onboard the Stalker VXE30 small uncrewed aerial system for the British Army.
The HD55 series is designed with unprecedented low weight, superior imaging, and best-in-class geolocation capability to deliver cutting-edge imaging for locating and identifying potential targets at multiple ranges across a variety of environments.
ACUA Ocean?and?HydroSurv, two UK-based companies specializing in maritime autonomous systems,?will merge to combine extensive expertise in the development and operation of USVs and associated technologies for marine surveying and surveillance.

The merger will deliver a broad offering of both near-shore and long-endurance vessels, from 2.8m to 13.5m, for ocean data collection, hydrographic, geophysical and environmental survey and surveillance and monitoring of critical offshore infrastructure.
Meteomatics AG, the weather intelligence and technology company that accurately forecasts the weather’s impact on the world’s leading businesses,?has launched its first U.S. Meteodrone at GrandSKY aviation park at Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota.
The Meteodrone autonomous flight system is able to fly up to 20,000 feet (6,100 meters) above the Earth’s surface. This enables it to close the significant meteorological data gap in the lower and mid atmosphere–regions that are not regularly or accurately observed by traditional weather sensing technology and radar.
SEABER's micro underwater vehicle weighing 10kg and measuring 1m in length has crossed the English Channel. The Seaber YUCO, launched from Folkestone, UK and recovered in Wissant, France, crossed the Channel in less than 8 hours.
This is believed to be the first micro autonomous underwater vehicle to accomplish the mission, and allowed Seaber to develop and test new features that will soon be available for its customers.
