A2Z Drone Delivery Solution

Ever since Jeff Bezos pulled off a marketing coup by announcing his attention to launch an aerial delivery service using drones — in 2013, on the eve of Cyber Monday, no less — the notion of packages dropping from the sky within 30 minutes of placing an online order has remained a tantalizing fantasy for […]

National Public Safety Drone Donation Program

One attendee at Commercial UAV Expo wasn’t looking to acquire drones but rather to give them away. Marc Langley heads a non-profit organization which goes by the inelegant acronym NPS-DDP — short for the “National Public Safety Drone Donation Program.” The program itself, however, is anything but inelegant or clunky. In brief, it seeks to […]

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. It’s a very peculiar design. To learn more about it, I spoke with François-Xavier “FX” Charbonnel, the company’s regional sales manager for the Americas. Like many of […]

Cellular Geo-Location Drone

Robotics Centre, Inc. and Smith Myers announced that the Smith Myers Echo SAR enables operators to quickly find, map, and interact with mobile phone handsets in fast-moving disaster situations, aiding and boosting first responders’ ability to locate victims and save lives. Designed for use on Teledyne FLIR’s R80D SkyRaider and SkyRanger R70 drones, the advanced Echo SAR payload […]

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 […]
