BRINC Drones

Among the aircraft on display at the Commercial UAV Expo was a hometown hero that got a lot of attention from the attendees. BRINC Drones, founded in Las Vegas by a 19-year-old entrepreneur with a profound vision for how to use drones to help first-responders save lives. Blake Resnick established the company following the horrific […]

FoxFury Exolander

FoxFury Lighting Solutions was again on hand for Commercial UAV Expo, showing its line of rugged drone lights and beacons, as well as a new product that literally brings them all together with your drone. The aptly named “Exolander” is an exoskeletal system that mounts to an existing aircraft, such as the Autel Robotics EVO […]

FLIR VUE TZ20-R

Teledyne-FLIR took advantage of the Commercial UAV Expo to introduce its latest product for the commercial UAS market: the VUE TZ20-R, which incorporates a pair of Boson camera cores delivering 640×512-pixel thermal images up to a maximum of 25 frames per second. Each of the two cameras mounts a different lens, providing both a wide […]

Anafi AI

The new sleek, white Parrot Anafi AI has been described as resembling either a praying mantis or the starship Enterprise—or perhaps a praying mantis eating the starship Enterprise.

Making the Jump from DJI to DIY

Although I do not consider myself an extremely experienced drone pilot, I have a fair amount of time on the control sticks of several different DJI models, especially from the Mavic line of aircraft. So, when I decided to build my first “DIY” drone last summer so I could better understand the subsystems involved in […]

Flying Without Wings

No doubt one of the most impressive achievements I’ve seen comes courtesy of a south Florida start-up with the improbable name, “Undefined Technology.” I’ve seen a lot of cool things at shows over the years, but only one or two that changed my perception of what is fundamentally possible within the laws of physics. That […]

Necessity & Innovation: Autel Drones on the Front Line

Many drones are designed for warfare. This one was not. The video posted on Facebook ended with an unforgettable pose. One man held an AK-style rifle, another made heart hands toward the camera, the man in the middle flashed a thumbs-up while holding an EVO II Pro in his other hand. The bright orange fuselage […]

Drone on the Range – Flying at a UAS test site

At most airports, if you walk out onto the tarmac carrying a drone, about the best you can hope for is to be asked, “What do you think you’re doing here?” At Eastern Oregon Regional Airport, however, they ask a different question, “How can we help?” That’s because Eastern Oregon Regional Airport (PDT) is home […]

Public Safety Drones — DRONERESPONDERS Survey Results

There has been a fundamental change in the relationship between drones and public safety, according to Charles Werner — and he would know. Having spent 45 years in the fire service, he retired as the fire chief for Charlottesville, Virginia, and went on to establish and lead DRONERESPONDERS, a global alliance of emergency-response agencies with […]
