Small caps were under pressure all day, but the Nasdaq composite and S&P 500 pared early losses. Decliners beat advancers by less than 2-to-1 on both exchanges as utility stocks outperformed. Taiwan Semiconductor isn't far from a new entry as it forms a double-bottom base; Aerovironment could try to add a handle to its current pattern; Jefferies is near the top of a shallow cup base. 

The market initially breathed a sigh of relief that it didn't get a hawkish statement from Fed Chairman Powell. He acknowledged that inflation is still too high, but he also said the Fed would slow down its bond selling, which could cause downward pressure on rates. Pinterest soared on bullish Q1 results; Booz Allen Hamilton and Aerovironment are building new bases.

For decades, AeroVironment has been a company that does things more than a little differently. Their CEO, Wahid Nawabi, joins us to talk about CCAs, Replicator, the new shape of airpower, and where his company fits in. And of course, we have headlines. Powered by GE!

Welcome back to The Vertical Space and our conversation with Kara Kramer, Director of Business Development at AeroVironment.  This is a discussion around the evolving role of UAS in warfare, including in Ukraine, the critical role of the supply chain to ensure we can properly engage in those wars, and the recent announcement of the U.S. DoD Replicator Initiative. Kara immediately jumps into the fragility of our UAS supply chain - something we've talked a lot about over the last couple of years, but she says that with all of the talk and awareness, not much has really been done about it relating to our preparation for UAS in warfare. Then we enter a very cool discussion that the outcome of future wars, as Peter says, may revolve around the capability to produce high volume electronics.We discuss the state of the UAS market, particularly defense UAS and especially around mass. How many drones can you produce and field? How quickly can you scale what's needed to maintain scale? And lastly, how would you rise to meet that demand? Kara discusses how mass is achieved, how DoD forecasting orders is the greatest limiting factor and how even large businesses can't invest without effective DoD forecasting requirements. We discuss the impact of Ukraine on UAS and the impact it's having on our vision of future wars.We then discuss DoD's Replicator Initiative and what drove its birth, how it surprised industry, how it will leverage unmanned systems to prepare for mass and how it's meant to address the growing threat from China. Finally listen to what Kara sees as the future of warfare and her advice to you, our entrepreneurs.

After going freelance Dean has had contracts with SAE International, Mazda Motorsports, Aerovironment, Motivo, Grassroots Motorsports, Ferrari North America, and SRO Motorsports.  On the electric vehicle front, he was a part of the Ford EV team of the 1990's, and had a Nissan Altra EV as his company car from 1998-2006. He has also been a longtime volunteer with SAE and has given automotive career talks at over 50 universities. 

Given the poor finish on Friday it was nice to see a rebound, but the indexes still have some work to do. It was still an inside day for a lot of stocks and the 50-day line is still looming as potential resistance. Lululemon jumped on an addition to the S&P 500, KLA is showing strength among semiconductors and AeroVironment is worth a revisit as it breaks a downtrend. 

Indexes shook off early weakness following attacks on Israel by Hamas and the subsequent declaration of war. Energy stocks won the day with Weatherford following up on Friday's strength. Aerospace/Defense stocks also had a strong day including drone maker AeroVironment, and finally Vertiv is poised to move to new highs after already doubling in a few short months.

AeroVironemnt blew Wall Street away with quarterly results this week as demand for drones and autonomous systems skyrockets. But above and beyond the battlefield, the company is well-positioned in its space portfolio, including designing and developing NASA's Ingenuity helicopter as the first aircraft to make a controlled flight on the red planet in 2021. CEO Wahid Nawabi joins Morgan to discuss the quarter, autonomous space exploration, pseudo satellites, and more.

What's involved in performing validation and testing of BVLOS and Safety protocols? For that question, we turn to Andy Thurling, Chief Technology Officer of the Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance.  NUAIR, as its commonly known, is a New York-based nonprofit with a mission to safely integrate uncrewed aircraft systems into the national airspace, enabling scalable, economically viable commercial drone operations.  NUAIR manages operations of the FAA-designated New York UAS Test Site at Griffiss International Airport, Rome, NY on behalf of Oneida County and is responsible for the advancement of New York's 50-mile UAS Corridor between Rome and Syracuse, NY. Andy leads technical research on current and future UAS technologies.  He also evaluates potential paths to implementation, industry standards for approval by regulators, and test techniques to verify compliance. Prior to NUAIR, Andy was Director of Product Safety and Mission Assurance at AeroVironment where he led airworthiness, certification, and airspace access strategic efforts. In this edition of the Drone Radio Show, Andy talks about NUAIR, the current efforts in testing BVLOS protecols, and validation of safety standards for UAS systems.  We also talk about this year's Xponential 2022 conference in Orlando and why we should all attend.

mazさんをゲストに迎え、自身の研究の変遷を軸に、バイオメカニクスのおもしろさを話していただきました。Show notes maz maz式ツイートの例 Kagayaさん … リザバーコンピューティングについてお聞きしたい。maz & kagaya回お待ちしております。 biomimetics/bio-inspired design: このあたりについて全く話せなかったが、生物は人の目から見て有用な特定の指標に特化しているとは限らない（一般にはしていない）ので、模倣する（バイオミメティクス）よりもそこから何らかの設計指針や着想を得るのに使う（生物規範工学・設計）方が良いだろうというのが大まかな流れとしてある、と思う。 Soft Robotics Wyss Institute Intelligence requires a body ゆるふわ生物学さんのシャコパンチ回 ショウジョウバエのホバリング： 高速度カメラによる運動計測 Fry et al., 2003; それを基にした数値流体力学シミュレーション (computational fluid dynamics, CFD) の論文 Aono et al., 2008, および動画. ハイスピードカメラ（高速度カメラ）とフィルム 分解能と解像度： mazの私見だが「解像度 (image resolution)」は、画像や画面などについて、その実空間での物理的な寸法とは無関係に縦と横の画素数だけを指す場合と、寸法を考慮しての画素密度 (dpi, ppi) の意味との両方で使われることがあるように思う。密度や「2点を区別できる最小の距離」という方について議論したいことを明確にするためには「空間分解能 (spatial resolution)」の方が誤解を避けやすくてよいのではないかと思う。同様に時間方向の刻み幅については「時間分解能 (temporal resolution)」がある。 29:45あたり、シャッタースピードをなぜ上げたいか（露光時間をなぜ減らしたいか）の説明がないが、物体の運動を撮影するときの「ぶれ（モーションブラー）」を減らしたいから。その直後、絞りと被写界深度の話で「奥行方向に動くようなカメラ」というのは意味不明だが、動くのはもちろんカメラではなく翼。「複数台のカメラで同時に撮影したときに、画像上で翼が奥の方に動いていくように見える配置になってしまうカメラがある」という意味。 飛ばした修士の研究（の一部）は、地面や水面の近くを飛行するときに生じる「地面効果 ground effect」という空気力学的現象が研究テーマで、ホバリング中のショウジョウバエについてこれをシミュレートしたら、羽ばたきによる吹き下ろしが地面付近に高圧のエア・クッションをつくり、この上に胴体 (abdomen) が乗る、いわばホバークラフト的なことが起きていた、というもの（論文）。 マルハナバチ： ここで言っている羽ばたき周波数（1秒間の羽ばたき回数）は過大で、実際にはホバリングでは 145-165 Hz程度 (Fig. 7 in Dudley & Ellington, 1990)。 翼： 読みは「つばさ」または「よく」だが工学的には後者の読みが多い。昆虫の翼は「翅（はね）」と呼ばれる事が多い。鳥の場合、1枚1枚の feather は羽毛（うもう）または羽根（はね）と呼ばれる。 ライト兄弟が史上初の動力飛行とされる Write Flyer I を飛ばしたのは キルデビルヒルズ（複数形が正しかった）で、キティホークはその少し北にある町。 レイノルズ (Reynolds) の相似則： たとえば 日本語版 や 英語版ウィキペディア あるいは NASAのページ などを参照。 前縁渦 (leading-edge vortex, LEV) の発見: スズメガ（昆虫）： Ellington et al., 1996. 翼の長さが約1 mの拡大模型でホバリング飛行を模擬。このサイズは元にした蛾の約10倍。一方、本物の蛾は1秒間に26回羽ばたく (= 26 Hz) が、この模型は大きくしたぶんだけ 0.3 Hz とゆっくりと動かすことができた。 アマツバメ（鳥）： Videler et al., 2004. 模型（1.5倍に拡大）で滑空を模した風洞実験をし、流れを煙とレーザーシートで可視化 (= particle image velocimetry, PIV)。 コウモリ： Muijres et al., 2008. 生きたコウモリに風洞で飛んでもらい、流れをPIVで可視化。 マダラヒタキ（鳥）： Muijres et al., 2012. 生きた鳥に風洞で飛んでもらい、流れをPIVで可視化。 翼果・翅果（植物）： Lentink et al., 2009. [explanation TBD（ちょっとちゃんと読みます）] 動画 (Wired) 前縁渦じゃないけどタンポポ： Cummins et al., 2018. 動画 (Nature) 「1秒間に200回のミニ竜巻」←誤り。ハエやハチのホバリングでは、打ち下ろしで1回だけでなく打ち上げでも1回発生するため、1秒間には400回ほど生成・消滅を繰り返している。後でハチドリの羽ばたきの話をするときにもこれに言及している。なお全く話せなかったが、前縁渦以外にも空気力（くうきりょく）増大メカニズムはいくつか提唱されている（少し古いがよく参照される総説論文 Sane et al., 2003）。最近、蚊で後縁渦というのも見つかっている（Bomphrey et al., 2017、動画 (Nature)、日本語の解説記事）。 北米のハチドリ： 東側にいるのは Ruby-Throated hummingbird（ノドアカハチドリ）のようです。マイグレーション (migration) はこの文脈では「渡り」の意味。ノドアカハチドリはフロリダやメキシコへ渡って越冬する模様。 多摩動物公園： 昆虫園にかつていたチャムネエメラルドハチドリというハチドリが対象だった。長崎バイオパークにもいたらしい。ワシントン条約の関係で輸入はかなり難しいようだ。 オオスカシバ： ウィキペディア ハチドリの体重： 一般に最小とされる マメハチドリは 2 g. 最大のオオハチドリは 20 g を超えるがこれはかなり「外れ値」なようで、2番目に重い種より2倍ほども重い (Fernández et al., 2011). AVONET（大元はDunning）によるとこの2番目に重い種というのは Topaza 属 のいずれかで、12 g 程度のようだ。 体温を下げる torpor（休眠？）： 英語版ウィキペディア ハチドリの体温を測りまくってる Powers lab FLIR 「あんなちっちゃいのに（沢山の種がいる）」←小さい方が種が多いのはおそらく一般的な傾向なので、逆接は意味不明。 「キュービックルート2」←意味不明。体重が10倍違うなら体サイズ（1辺の長さ）は cube root 10 で、約 2.15 倍。「キュービックルート10だから約2倍」と言いたかったのかも。 ハチドリの飛行の論文の例：空気を「ヘリウム・酸素混合ガス」に置き換えて酸素濃度を保ったまま密度だけ低下させた際の羽ばたき運動を計測した Chai & Dudley, 1996; 広い速度域に渡る羽ばたき運動を風洞で計測した Tobalske et al., 2007; 空気力学をPIVで調べた Warrick et al., 2005;Warrick et al., 2009 など。他にも Hedrick, Lentink, Altshuler といった北米（当時）のラボを中心に沢山出ている。 mazのハチドリ運動計測論文のハイライト動画。およびシミュレーション例の動画（動画開始直後、前縁に発達する白い渦が前縁渦）。論文についての説明で「次列風切はハチドリは5枚しかない」と言っているがこれは誤り。本当はこの種では6枚ある。ただし胴体に近い一番内側の羽根 (S6) は非常に見づらく、羽軸のトレースができていない。 初列風切・次列風切： ウィキペディア。東先生の本にはそう書いてたかもしれないが、「初列が推力で次列が揚力」なんていう明確な区別があるというのは眉唾、というかそもそも推力というのは揚力を分解して出てくる成分なので…（もちろん東先生はそのことはわかっているが）。 オナガラケットハチドリ： ウィキペディア・YouTube動画。ダーウィンが来た！で取り上げられていたようだ。実際にはこれよりも少し前から別のハチドリ映像についての話が何度か来ていた気がする。補足すると、maz には高尚な理由が見えていなかったが、先生は先を見据えてハチドリ型ロボットを開発していたと思われる。この後の2011年に AeroVironment の Nano Hummingbird が発表されていることからも潮流を読めていたことがわかる。 硬骨魚綱・ニシオンデンザメ マダラヒタキ： ウィキペディア。気候変動（地球温暖化）関係でよく研究されているらしい。 スウェーデン・ルンド大学のラボ： Animal Flight Lab. 昆虫・鳥・コウモリの飛行を全部やってる。昆虫と鳥とかはチラホラあるがコウモリも含めた3グループ全部というのは非常にレアと思われる。風洞の論文があったが、7度ではなく8度傾けられるとのこと。 東昭（あずま あきら）： 研究者の名前。日本での生物飛行・遊泳の力学の草分け的存在。日本語の本も多いが内容的には少し古いため、今から読む場合は他の本も読んだほうが良い。 木から落ちる蟻： Yanoviak et al., 2005. Yanoviak による動画。さらにイシノミやクモもあり。たまにまっすぐ落下してるやつはビー玉かなんかの対照実験です。制御について、頭を振るというのは勘違いだったようで、そもそも逆さまになって腹部 (abdomen) 側へ落ちていくらしい。さらに Yanoviak et al., 2010 によると主に後脚で制御してるようです（色々な脚を remove しての比較落下試験をしている）。また、落下角度が水平から45度を境界とする（それより浅いのを gliding, 深いのを parachuting）のは確かに文献にあるようです（初出？は Oliver, 1951 らしいが読めなかった）が、そういうことよりも飛行が制御されてるかどうかで分けろや、とかなんか色々あるようです。詳しくは Moffett, 2000 などを参照。この場合 descent としているのは、このへんのゴタゴタを避けたいからんあじゃないかって気もします。滑空関係でもっとガッツリ進化と絡んだ話を読みたい人向けにはたとえば Dudley et al., 2007 の総説もあります。←書きすぎでは？？ mealworm: ゴミムシダマシの幼虫、らしい。 マニューバー（機動）： コウモリの機動の論文 Robert Wood の Harvard Microrobotics Lab: 超小型羽ばたき飛翔体の RoboBee で有名（YouTube channel, ナショジオの動画）。Wyss Institute の Associate Faculty となっている。 長崎ペンギン水族館： 世界で最多の9種のペンギンを飼育している。 ジェンツーペンギン： オレンジのクチバシと、頭の上の白い帯が特徴的。似た種がいないので見分けやすい。 GoPro: むき出しでもプール程度の水圧には耐えられるが、市販の透明な保護ケースに入れ、さらに各カメラの視野が最適になるような角度のケースを3Dプリントしておき、そこにはめ込んだ。 ペンギンの羽ばたき周波数： 4 Hz は巡航（採餌）遊泳時としては高すぎ。体サイズによって変わる（大きいほどゆったり）だが、最小の種であるリトルペンギンで3.5 Hz, 最大の種であるエンペラーペンギンで約1.5 Hz (Sato et al., 2010). ペンギンの羽ばたき運動論文： 東工大のプレスリリースがよく書けていて動画も載っている。「なん日かに分けて…4日」は間違い。論文に使ったデータを撮影したのは連続しない2日間で、初めの日に3個体、1年半後の別の日に初回の3個体に含まれていた1個体。 バイオロギング： 動物に記録計（ロガー）を付けて、位置・速度・深度などの行動情報を記録する研究手法。日本バイオロギング研究会のページを参照。狭義のロギングは記録計の回収が必要となる。最近は送信機を付けてのテレメトリも増えている模様。 菊地デイル万次郎さん・SHIOMIさん： 仲のいいバイオロギング屋さん。 レヴィフライト (Lévy flight)： 英語版ウィキペディア。採餌（餌探索）の例でざっくりいうと、一箇所にとどまってその付近で餌を探すモードと、ある程度離れた場所まで割と一直線に動くモードとの組み合わせからなるような行動。レヴィウォークとも。 「彼らのフィールドワーク」： 話のつながりがおかしいが、これは理論屋でなくバイオロギング屋さんのこと。 三代始祖：馬は専門外です。 三代始祖について話した回 Royal Veterinary College (RVC) の Structure and Motion Laboratory (SML) という研究所。主に歩行・走行の研究者が多い。飛行のPIは2名しかいないが2人ともトップレベル（仲もいい）。 Alan Wilsonの論文例： ライオン・シマウマ・チーター・インパラでした。 Oxford喋り[要出典] … Oxford周辺の方々、ご意見お待ちしております。 Imperial College of London: 自然史博物館 「Natural History Museum (NHM) London](https://www.nhm.ac.uk/) がすぐ隣にある。入場無料だしオススメ。 mechanosensor: 機械的受容体と言っているが、受容器が正しいのかも。トンボの翅上の機械センサを調べた共著論文 (Fabian et al., 2022)。 Imperial College London の Huai-Ti lab. ハエで有名な Holger Krapp. AutoDesk Fusion 360： 無料なのでよく使われるCAD. Rhinoceros 3D：有料だがかなり安い。建築や宝石分野での利用が多いが、自由曲面生成に強いサーフェスモデラー。Grasshopper というプラグインでできるビジュアルプログラミングがおすすめ。 何度か言及のあった「メッシュを切る」というのは、CADで作った形状モデルを基にして、構造または流体シミュレーションのために表面や構造または流体内部に格子点（およびそれからなるセル）を作ること。 メガネウラ … 眼鏡ウラではない。メガ-ネウラ 翅脈（しみゃく）： 昆虫の翅のうち、膜じゃない骨組みの部分。英語は vein. ウィキペディアの昆虫の翅の記事も参照。 トンボの pterostigma（縁紋）： マスバランス効果を論じた論文は1992でなく1972でした。 Pterosaur（翼竜）： 翼竜の研究はしたことがないので話せることはほとんどありませんが、昔バイオメカニクス研究者が古生物学者にボロクソに言われてた話なんかはあります（ボロクソに言われていた論文 Wilkinson et al., 2005）。 Editorial notes 久々に沢山話せて楽しかったです。後半、のどがかれていてちょっと聞きづらいいですね。失礼しました。残りの80%（そんなに無いと思うが）はまたいずれどこかで… (maz) 久々に2時間半超えました。やばい量のshownotesも執筆ありがとうございました。皆様にすこしでもバイオメカニクスという分野の面白さが伝わればうれしいです。今回は自己紹介だけで終わってしまったのでまた参戦していただきたいです。mazさんありがとうございました。(tadasu)

HAPSMobile plans to fly a High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) over Hawaii, Amazon petitions for drone delivery exemptions, NASA plans to test UAS traffic management in Texas, researchers find that drones are better than people studying whales, a female drone pilot seeks to encourage women, and drones that provide medical assistance. UAV News FAA Approves Solar Drone Flights Over Hawaiian Island Japanese drone company HAPSMobile has a waiver to fly a solar-powered UAV over Lanai. The HAWK30 will act as a stratospheric telecommunications platform - a High Altitude Platform Station, also called a High Altitude Pseudo Satellite. The project is a collaboration between HAPSMobile, the University of Hawaii, and the Pan-Pacific UAS Test Range Complex which is managed by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. AeroVironment is HAPSMobile's aircraft development partner for the HAWK30. In related news, see HAPSMobile Working Together with Facebook to Accelerate the Adoption of HAPS. Amazon requests FAA approval of delivery-drone plans Amazon has filed a 29-page petition with the FAA requesting approval to use their MK27 delivery drone before getting a certificate of airworthiness. Amazon would like to fly BVLOS and they ask for exemptions from certain aviation regulations that are more applicable to manned aircraft. The petition says delivery drones will fly autonomously but with one operator for each drone in flight. Eventually, Amazon would like to have one operator for multiple drones "subject to FAA approval based on flights and simulations that demonstrate required levels of safety."The FAA will take public comments on the petition until August 28, 2019. See Petition for Exemption; Summary of Petition Received; Amazon Prime Air in the Federal Register. NASA drone testing schedule in Corpus Christi: What you need to know NASA selected the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi's Lone Star UAS Center of Excellence & Innovation as a nationwide drone testing site. Testing will focus on urban UAS traffic management and they plan to close or restrict access to several downtown streets. Tests show multi-rotor UAVs can improve cetacean behavioral studies New Zealand researchers found that small, multi-rotor UAVs are better than expert observers on research vessels. When it comes to surveying and studying humpback whales, the drones captured some social activities not detected by the observer and there was no observable effect on the whales' behavior. See Insights into the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to investigate the behavior of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Vava'u, Kingdom of Tonga. Introducing Derbyshire Police's First Female Drone Pilot Victoria Atherton, Derbyshire Police's first female drone pilot, has said she wants to inspire others and fight crime. She was recently deployed to a damaged dam that forced the evacuation of about 1,500 residents. She commented: “Personally, I think the best way to encourage women to get involved is to support each other. The future of aviation appears to be heading in the direction of unmanned aircraft and it's important that men and women are equally represented in this field.” Also, “It's an achievement to be labeled the first, however, I think it's more important to ensure that I am not the last.” Drones, smartphones and sensors could provide a new solution to elderly falls Researchers from Baghdad's Middle Technical University and the University of South Australia have designed a system to remotely monitor elderly people. It detects heart rate and temperature abnormalities and provides urgent first aid via a drone if a fall occurs. UAV Video of the Week DARPA video shows autonomous drones swarming a building The demonstration took place under the agency's OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics (OFFSET) program, which “envisions future small-unit infantry forces using swarms comprising upwards of 250 unmanned aircraft systems ...

If you're trying to obtain a waiver from the FAA you should be looking into SORA. The Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA)guidance represents the consensus of various national aviation authorities on a common process to identify, qualitatively assess, and manage the safety risk posed by unmanned aircraft systems(UAS), when preparing the safety case required for regulatory approval to conduct certain types of operations. It is the de facto standard for assessing the risks of a UAS operation. To talk about SORA we invited Andy Thurling, Chief Technology Officer at NUAIR, which is the organization that manages the NY UAS Test Site at Griffiss International Airport. At NUAIR he leads technical research on current and future UAS technologies, evaluates potential paths to implementation and industry standards for approval by regulators, and also test techniques to verify compliance. Andy was Director of Product Safety and Mission Assurance at AeroVironment in Simi Valley, California.He is active in standards bodies such as ASTM and RTCA and internationally as a subject matter expert to the JARUS working group developing SORA. You can Dowload the latest version of SORA here: http://jarus-rpas.org/sites/jarus-rpas.org/files/jar_doc_06_jarus_sora_v2.0.pdf

As the digital assistant wars heat up the Amazon Echo Show comes out with a brand new touchscreen feature while Microsoft's Cortana get's a holographic upgrade. Some big releases for XBox One and their backwards compatibility sale and the release of Injustice 2, both happening May 16th. The new Star Trek: Discovery series is winding up, tiny drone technology coming to the military and law enforcement and Jason has a special thank you and treat for all digitalSoup listeners with an invite to his own personal server on the great pc game, Ark: Survival Evolved. WEEKLY RIDDLE: Feed me and it will give me life. But give me a drink and I will die. What am I? ANSWER AT THE END OF THE EPISODE! Amazon Echo Show: The digital assistant wars continue to heat up as Amazon announced the Echo Show, a new hybrid of the popular Echo device that now includes a 7” touchscreen to allow Alexa to not just give you answers, but show them to you. From watching YouTube videos, such as those done by Jason on gaming and Dave on photography, to making video calls and of course all of the standard Echo functionality this has potential to be the next direction in the war between Apple, Google and Amazon. But what about Microsoft's Cortana? Who cares you say? Well, according to Microsoft there are more than 145 million users of their personal assistant within Windows 10, but one man has taken it to the next level. Mr. Jarem Archer has taken it upon himself to build a “holographic” version of the famous Cortana, much like we saw in the popular gaming series Halo. Huge Sale on XBox One backwards compatibility games starting May 16th!: All XBox One owners get set as games will be discounted up to 75%! Full list of titles is not yet available but so far the expected sales will include Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Red Dead Redemption, GTA IV and Skate 3. Star Trek: Discovery: While there has been no official release date set, this prequel to Star Treck: The Original Series is set to star Riann Wilson and looks to give Trek fans a brand new series to dive into. But there is a catch, being able to watch it may be tricky. Creepy Lights Out video short that the feature lengthy movie was based on. Watch at your own risk because this one takes the creepy factor up to 11! Tiny drones giving soldiers more visual range: The Snipe Nano Quadrotor, a pocket sized drone made by AeroVironment, is set to be added to the regular arsenal of our soldiers in the battlefield. Created to be nearly silent, they have great range and a top speed of 22mph, it's another great tool to help keep our soldiers safe. Should also be released to our law enforcement agencies by the end of the year. Great tool or getting too close to big brother-esque spying?

Rulemaking for sUAS flights over people moves forward, fuel cell-powered UAVs, a drone detection system, a Predator for humanitarian relief, drones flying in formation, and autonomous aircraft collaboration. Hywing long endurance fixed-wing UAV demonstrator, courtesy H3 Dynamics News Big News: Proposed Small UAS Rule for Flights Over People at White House for Review Hogan Lovells reports that the FAA sent to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) the proposed rulemaking for the operation of sUAS over unsheltered people not directly participating in the operation. OIRA reviews draft regulations before they are implemented and any member of the public can request a meeting with the agency to discuss the proposed rule. UAV Update: Fuel cells, Droneboxes and hostile drones This article is a round-up of a number of newsworthy drone stories, including: Singapore energy storage company H3 Dynamics has applied fuel cell technology to its Hywings UAV and claims up to 10 hours flight endurance. The company also created Dronebox that can be used as a remote base station for drones. Dronebox can recharge drone using solar panels, and offers the possibility for stationing drones for autonomous missions, like crop surveys. Elbit Systems in Israel announced ReDrone which detects, tracks, and takes out drones. The system can determine the direction of the drone and the operator, operates over 360 degrees and provides real-time situational awareness of multiple drones. General Atomics is offering the Angel One for humanitarian relief missions.

HeliVideo to cover U.S. Open, commercial drone market share, China uses drone to catch cheaters, using TV signals to sense aircraft, a Google drone patent, and UAS full type certificates. News How FOX Sports will use drones at the U.S. Open, and why the FAA is watching FOX Sports is using octocopters from Austin-based HeliVideo to cover the golf championship at Chambers Bay. HeliVideo says they provide “FAA approved cinematography for television and film.” The HeliVideo fleet includes a Small Sensor Hexacopter with a Panasonic Lumix GH3, a Full Frame Octocopter sporting a Canon 5D Mark 3, an EPIC 6k Dragon Octocopter, and an EPIC 6k Dragon Single blade helicopter. For the golf tournament, HeliVideo is bringing a four-man team and more than $1 million in equipment — including the DJI Spreading Wings 1000 drone. HeliVideo received their exemption last September. An authorized, licensed pilot will fly the drones, while a visual observer will keep tabs on the devices at all times. Forty eight percent of commercial drone platforms in the USA made by DJI sUAS News reports that DJI has 48.4% of the “commercially licenced platforms” in service. AeroVironment follows with 12.1%, 3DR with 7.6%, and Precision Hawk with 3.9% This is from a total population of 380 platforms. Authorizations Granted Via Section 333 Exemptions This list from the FAA shows Petitioners, Grant Issue Date, Operation/Mission, and the Authorizations document. China Uses a Drone to Curb Cheating on College Placement Exams The National College Entrance Exams in China are critical to the future success of the 9.5 million students who take the 2-3 day test. This has led to cheating schemes where students send exam questions out to others, who then transmit answers back to the student. Now Chinese education authorities are fighting back with a drone. It flies over testing centers and scans for signals being sent to devices brought in by students. The drone is reported to be about the size of a gas station pump and cost tens of thousands of dollars. TV signals a possible alternative to radar Air traffic control company NATS has been working with Thales and contract R&D company Roke Manor to see if television transmission signals could be used to detect and direct aircraft. In a trial conducted over London, more than 30 aircraft were tracked at altitudes of up to 10,000 feet.

News US firms rush to set up drone departments Michael Drobac is executive director of the Small UAV Coalition, but also the senior policy advisor at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. He says, “'Almost every firm has a drone practice. I'm not sure every firm has a drone client.” 273 Drone Aircraft Carriers? New DARPA Contract Could Be a Game Changer The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) wants the Navy to be able to launch MALE-class drones from ships at sea. Under the Tactically Exploited Reconnaissance Node, or TERN program, Northrop Grumman and AeroVironment have been selected to compete the next phase of the program and create systems where unmanned aircraft "take off and land from very confined spaces in elevated sea states and ... to transition to efficient long-duration cruise missions." Triton UAS conducts first flight with search radar The Navy's MQ-4C Triton UAS has completed its inaugural flight with the new Multi-Function Active Sensor (MFAS) search radar. The radar has all-weather capability and provides a 360-degree view of a large geographic area. When operational, the Triton will dwell at high altitudes and provide 24/7 ISR coverage virtually anywhere in the world. Fueled in flight: X-47B first to complete autonomous aerial refueling On April 22. 2015 the first ever Autonomous Aerial Refueling (AAR) of an unmanned aircraft was accomplished with the X-47B. This completed the final test objective under the Navy's Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) demonstration program. The aerial refueling was captured on video. Researchers Seeking Agricultural Applications For Unmanned Aircraft The University of Florida Citrus Research and Education Center recently hosted the HLB Grower Day and UAV Applications in Agriculture Workshop to look at future applications of UAVs in agriculture. The workshop was coordinated by Dr. Reza Ehsani, Associate Professor, Agricultural and Biological Engineering. Noting that commercial operations are not yet generally allowed by the FAA, Ehsani said, “It will take at least a year until the proposed rules go through all of the approval process. So, we are probably looking to be able to use UAVs under these regulations sometime in 2017.” Yet research continues: Spain's Institute For Sustainable Agriculture is conducting research on crops using quad-rotor UAVs taking images to discriminate between crops and weeds. The University of Central Florida developing a UAV to inspect plants in fields in conjunction with a ground robot. A quadcopter collecting less expensive lower resolution imagery identifies potential problems and sends the ground robot in for a more detailed inspection. The University of Pennsylvania's GRASP Lab is developing a concept where swarms of hummingbird-sized autonomous UAVs fly close to the ground to map the environment. In research conducted in California, a UAV flew between 26 rows of citrus trees and counted 479,395 fruits. France's anti-drone drone can spot malicious pilots in under a minute In response to the number of suspicious drones flying over Paris landmarks, French firm ECA Group has a solution: an anti-drone drone. It chases down rogue drones, triangulates the location of its pilot, moves in to photograph the offender, and notifies the police. ECA won't say how it works. The low-tech anti-drone technology at the Boston Marathon today involves net guns and text messages Massachusetts State Police declared Boston a no-fly zone for drones during the recent Boston Marathon. To help enforce the ban, officials utilized the DroneShield drone detection and warning system.

It works with any drone that uses its APM autopilot. With the API, developers can write web-based and mobile apps, as well as apps written in Python that run on the drone itself. FAA Grants 30 New Commercial UAS Exemptions The FAA approved 30 more commercial UAS exemptions, including exemptions for insurance companies USAA and AIG. In a press release (FAA Approves Drone Petition), USAA says, “The Federal Aviation Administration approved USAA's petition on April 2 to conduct research and development on its new unmanned aircraft system (UAS) program to better serve members, especially after catastrophes.” The FAA approved USAA's use of a PrecisionHawk drone for daytime, line-of-sight flights under 400 feet with a trained pilot. USAA will work with PrecisionHawk to develop best practices, safety and privacy protocols, and procedures for future operational use. In another press release (It's Wheels Up with ‘Transformative Technology') written before the petition was submitted, USAA provides some examples of the applications they have in mind: “We're constantly seeking ways to better serve our members, especially during catastrophes, when getting into neighborhoods immediately after can be dangerous to human life, and applying new technologies is one way we can do that,” says Alan Krapf, president, USAA property and casualty insurance group. USAA has teamed up with Texas A&M University to research and develop how to effectively put UAS to work for its members. This is being conducted with the University's Roboticists Without Borders and Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR). Also granted exemptions were AeroVironment for agriculture, aerial survey, and patrol applications, and senseFly for precision agriculture. The total number of approved exemptions is now 99. The FAA has received 700 applications. EASA Presents its Vision for the Future of the Aviation Regulatory System EASA (the European Aviation Safety Agency) published an ‘EASA Opinion' with proposals for the future of the aviation regulatory system. They include proposals for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs). As part of implementing a General Aviation Road Map, EASA proposes to amend existing regulations to introduce, “...the necessary flexibility for small, low-risk GA as well as for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs) by introducing provisions which will allow possible deviations from existing requirements, where appropriate.” US policy on the export of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS): a detailed look and analysis The U.S. Department of State conducted a UAS policy review and has issued a new policy that governs the export and subsequent use of commercial and military unmanned systems. The new policy could allow export of weaponized UAS to U.S. allies, under certain circumstances and uses. The policy also could also allow export of more types of commercial UAS to other countries,
