Instruments & Sensors for UAVs, Ground Robotics & Marine Unmanned Vehicles Unmanned vehicles, including drones, UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), UUVs (unmanned underwater vehicles) and UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles), utilize a wide range of instruments and sensors to enhance the operation of the...
Drones, or unmanned systems as CES like to call them, are devices which really began to gain momentum in the popularity stakes last year and with drone exhibitors taking more space at CES than ever before, it doesn't look like they're going to be leaving the market anytime soon. In fac...
UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) and self-driving vehicles typically use a combination of GNSS, inertial measurement, and either LiDAR or cameras to provide autonomous navigation and collision avoidance capabilities. Sensor fusion is essential for the system to integrate the different sources of informati...

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING AND ENFORCING A NO-FLY ZONE OR PROHIBITIVE ZONE FOR DRONES AND UNMANNED VEHICLESIn certain areas, if a drone flies into them, may cause danger to people or facilities within the area. In such areas no-fly zones need to be implemented and enforced. A no-...
The New York City Police Department will begin using drones in search and rescue missions and hostage situations. The department, the largest police force in the United States with 36,000 officers, announced Tuesday it has established an unmanned aircraft system program. The program...
On September 14, 2023 the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources released new guidelines for the use of UAS (Unmanned Aerial System, A.K.A. drones) as it relates to hunting related activities. I was able to obtain a copy of the newly published guidelines which clarify the manner in which...
It was emphatically not called the drone club in official communications, and there was a reason for that. “UAV” means “unmanned aerial vehicle,” a technical term that specifically, precisely describes flying, computerized gizmos without people riding them.Back in 2013, UAV enthusiasts were ...
WarrenUAS has received FAA 44807 approval to train students on unmanned aerial systems weighing over 55 pounds in the NAS, placing it among only five U.S. organizations with this clearance, and expanding its national training leadership May 15, 2025...
