Advanced Drone-in-a-box, & BVLOS approval. greatly increases potential for a wide range of customers who want a minimally invasive security solution with fully off-site operations. Expect to see high growth in sensors/cameras combining Electro-Optical/Infra-Red with advanced vision that provide total situational awareness day and night, and in low light conditions, "Pennsylvania-based manufacturer Asylon Robotics recently announced new federal approvals for its American-made “drone in a box” system for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operation. The news represents an important step for Asylon’s DroneSentry security system to be used across a wide range of possible applications, and follows a demonstration of a single pilot flying six DroneSentry units offsite that occurred last summer." "Building on Asylon’s eight existing FAA permits for their all-in-one solution, this new approval authorizes Asylon to use off-site staff to conduct flight operations at customer locations. With more than 40,000 fully automated commercial security missions to date, this approval is the result of the rigorous testing process required by FAA regulators. To achieve approval, the drone had to be demonstrated as safe throughout a wide range of conditions and operating environments." "The DroneSentry system is capable of fully autonomous “point-and-click” piloting and is compatible with a wide range of third-party alarm solutions, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into existing security infrastructure. It also features live EO/IR video monitoring. Part of their solution is an automated battery-swapping system, meaning that DroneSentry represents “set and forget” peace of mind." #drontechnology #droneservices #dronesecurity #videomonitoring https://lnkd.in/eBxfFaPW

I’m a #technologist with a lot of opinions, not an influencer - please don’t get it mixed up …. UAS Nexus does #technical #advising and #consulting - I try to keep my post limited to the areas I am interested in like #drones and #robotics. Sometimes, I share deeply opinionated thoughts on the industry - #sorrynotsorry if you’re offended.

As the UAV/Drone/Robotics industry continues to expand into hybrid vehicles will we see more of these devices classified as "ROBOTS"? If you are monitoring the growth of the Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle OR Drones OR Robots, where will you start looking? The latest Boston Dynamics Spot ('Patrol Dog') system is upgrading its sensors, cameras, thermal imaging and AI/ML processing (Nvidia). The simple 'drone-in-a-box' approach is being replaced by a "Doghouse" with all the ancillary equipment including charging/communicating devices! Is this a Robot , AI, Drone or? Will user groups (e.g. on LinkedIn) have to change their titles to encompass new hybrids? "Pennsylvania-based unmanned systems developer Asylon Robotics recently announced that they have completed over 100000 missions using their DroneDog™ system, underlining its creative approach towards the physical security industry. Deploying in areas including critical infrastructure, logistics, manufacturing plants, and corporate campuses, a DroneDog mission is defined as any patrol, alarm, or incident response, highlighting its versatility and effectiveness." "Built on Boston Dynamic’s Spot system, Asylon has enhanced the proven base unit with their “Pup Pack”, a sensor and camera suite that includes a high-definition camera, thermal imaging, cellular connectivity, and an Nvidia AI/ML processor. When the units aren’t directly in use, they can be housed in Asylon’s “Doghouse”, a weatherized outdoor charging station that allows for maximum operational readiness. " “Completing 100,000 missions is a major milestone for Asylon and the robotics industry as a whole. By operating around the clock, 24/7, we are proving the viability of consistent, effective robotics operations at scale. The data sets we collect on a daily basis are used to continually improve our product offering, our service and the robotic platforms themselves. We remain committed to providing our clients with the most advanced and reliable security solutions on the market,” said Damon Henry, Co-Founder and CEO at Asylon Robotics. " #uavdronetechnology #uavdroneservices #robotics #AI https://lnkd.in/g932HnUG

#DisruptiveTech 🔴 In a significant development for maritime security, the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom (AUKUS) have completed successful tests of several autonomous and networked systems during a three-week maritime experimentation called AUTONOMOUS WARRIOR 24 in Australia. The event was part of the MARITIME BIG PLAY (MBP) initiative and ongoing efforts to develop AUKUS Pillar II capabilities, a trilateral collaboration to improve maritime awareness through networked autonomy, decision advantage, and enhanced strike. The MARITIME BIG PLAY is a series of integrated trilateral experiments and exercises that are enhancing capability development, improving interoperability, and increasing the sophistication and scale of autonomous systems in the maritime domain. Australia led the AUTONOMOUS WARRIOR event, the signature MBP event in 2024. Other events associated with MARITIME BIG PLAY included the Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping Augmented by Maritime Unmanned Systems (REPMUS); and Technology Readiness Experimentation (T-REX). #AUKUS #autonomous #robotics
