It's now possible to display rotor circles for helicopters and VTOLs in AviPLAN 2024. This improved feature enhances the depiction of movement and required rotor clearance. Positioning the rotors accurately ensures aircraft width is shown correctly. This latest version of AviPLAN software has also added pushback capabilities for wheeled helicopters. To learn about these and further updates in AviPLAN 2024, watch the on-demand webinar > https://bit.ly/3WDxqIT

$1B/day loss if GNSS is jammed or spoofed...not so quick. It's going to cost a lot more. #FedEx, #UPS, and #DHL all use GNSS to route their delivery trucks and yield a staggering $258B in revenue annually, or $700M a day just for delivering goods globally.  That doesn’t include the 3.5 million packages a day Amazon delivers in the US alone.  So, just the lost/reduced revenue from disrupting the package delivery itself is probably $1B, let alone the vale/disruption of the good being delivered which is probably 10x-100x the logistics value. The impact to #communications, #finance, #power, #transportation, #aviation, #healthcare, etc. How about $1T a day? #GNSS #GPS #Spoofing #Jamming Spirent Communications

As BVLOS operations continue to gain traction, adapting to atypical air environments is becoming a crucial element of drone integration. Last week’s update to the CAA’s Atypical Air Environment (AAE) Policy states that drones within an AAE should be equipped with both an ADS-B and transceiver or receiver which function in accordance with the new standards; underscoring the need for safety solutions to address the unique challenges of operating beyond visual line of sight. At SLiNK-TECH, our PORTAL system is poised to guide the next generation of drone operations through safe launch and landing with a fully automated air traffic control in a box. Our technology not only meet these regulatory demands but also pushes the boundaries of what’s achievable with BVLOS operations. 🚀 In the near future, we envision drones seamlessly integrated into complex airspaces, transforming industries from logistics to public safety and beyond. What do you see as the biggest challenge or opportunity in adapting to atypical air environments? 💬 Share your thoughts below!

Sonardyne and Wavefront Systems have leveraged the Solstice MAS™ (Multi-Aperture Sonar) and a SPRINT-Nav Mini to collect sonar data on seagrass beds in Plymouth Sound. The companies' method utilizes a survey boat equipped with the Solstice MAS and a SPRINT-Nav Mini mounted on a pole. The system maps areas in strips up to 200 meters wide, capturing sonar data that is then processed into a geographic information system (GIS) map of the seagrass. After the initial survey, an ROV is deployed to verify seabed features identified by the Solstice MAS. The ROV, also fitted with SPRINT-Nav Mini, is guided using the sonar map to specific features and records video footage that can be used to generate 3D models of the seabed.
