…In April, the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) nominated Near Earth Autonomy as a finalist for the Humanitarian Award in the “Xcellence in Mission—Humanitarian” category. Near Earth earned its nomination by developing drones to deliver life-saving blood and medical supplies. Near Earth said its recognized work with drone delivery technology has continued into the new contract with Kaman and the U.S. Army. The company asserted that it has always focused on enabling aircraft to autonomously take off, fly, and land safely, with or without GPS. The new VTOL UAS partnership with the U.S Army will enable further development…

The Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International, or AUVSI, held its annual XPONENTIAL show earlier this month in Orlando, Fla. The week was a collection of valuable keynote addresses and panel discussions, with a great showing of exhibitors and attendees focused on all things autonomous. The show is a bellwether for the future of autonomy and uncrewed systems as a wide portfolio of technologies matures. The result is a kaleidoscope of autonomous vehicles, including aerial drones, driverless trucks, watercraft, underwater submerged vehicles, and a whole lot more. Such technologies will undoubtedly change our daily lives in the near future, but…

Honeywell Aerospace announced today at AUVSI Xponential that it is developing a new technology suite for light drones that allows them to fly three times longer and with less human intervention. Traditional drones are limited by battery capacity and line-of-sight radio links, said the company. In comparison, drones equipped with Honeywell’s Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) technologies can fly farther, carry more weight, avoid hazards up to 3 km (1.86 mi.) away and stream video of their progress anywhere in the world, claimed Honeywell. “These are technologies that businesses have been waiting for,” said Stéphane Fymat, vice president and…
