Drone surveillance systems for your home, around your yacht, and at maritime ports. Also, Intel inspects bridges with drones, a drone down under flies over an Airport, and a former FAA Administrator finds a home with drones. The "Bee" drone surveillance system. Courtesy Sunflower Labs. UAV News Sunflower Labs is building a drone surveillance system for high-end homes Sunflower Labs is developing an outdoor home security system with three components: an autonomous drone with a camera called the “Bee,” sensors that also light up the area called “Sunflowers,” and a self-charging station for the done called the “Hive.” The Sunflowers identify people, cars, and animals and determine speed and direction of approach. The Bee flies autonomously to the scene, guided by the Sunflower sensors, and streams live video. When the Bee is done, it returns to the Hive which recharges the drone, protects it from the weather, and houses the system's computer. Port of Amsterdam trials GPS-based UAV monitoring system Martek Anti-Drone Systems is providing its M.A.D.S. (Marine Anti-Drone System) in a 4-week trial at the Port of Amsterdam. Port customers are looking at their own legitimate drone operations but there is also the opportunity for illegal drone operations. The Port wants to find out who is flying what, where, and why. Martek also markets its system to yacht owners. When a threat is detected, M.A.D.S. creates an electronic exclusion zone around the yacht. If a drone enters, the system blocks the drone's control/video communications signal, which initiates the drone's fail-safe mode to land or returns to its operator. Intel Collaborates with Two Departments of Transportation for UAS Bridge Inspections Intel's Falcon 8+ drone hardware and software were used for bridge inspections and the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge over the Ohio River connecting Ohio and Kentucky, and the Stone Arch Bridge in Minnesota, a pedestrian and bicycle bridge. The 8-lane Daniel Carter Beard Bridge would normally experience lane closures for the inspection. With inspection by drone, this was not required. Inspection hours at the Stone Arch Bridge was reduced by 28 percent, at a cost savings of about 40 percent. Video: Intel Commercial Drones Speed Up US Bridge Inspections. https://youtu.be/IqwXI67PSIE Hunt after drone flies near plane at Perth Airport A drone was spotted flying over Perth Airport, first by a pilot in a plane taking off and then by an airport worker. Air traffic control alerted all pilots and the Federal Police and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority were notified. Neither the drone nor the operator has been found. Mr. Michael Huerta, Former USA FAA Administrator, has Joined ParaZero's Advisory Board Huerta is now on the Advisory Board at ParaZero, the drone parachute system we talked about in Episode #262. Mentioned The UAV Digest will be attending the 4th Annual FAA Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Symposium, February 12-14, 2019 at the Baltimore Convention Center. The FAA, industry, academia and other government agencies will discuss the latest topics related to the growing use of UAS and its integration into the national airspace. Registration for the 2019 event is now open.

Helicopter firefighting at night Nighttime firebombing aircraft are only a recent addition to the tools available to firefighters in Victoria, Australia. In the past, firebombing aircraft in Australia only worked during daylight hours. However, in 2018, Emergency Management Victoria led Australia's first trial in the use of firebombing aircraft to contain and extinguish wildfires at night. During the trial, pilots wore night-vision goggles, which are used to detect and boost light. Do water bombers work at night? In Victoria, water-bombing helicopters can work at night. In this episode, Commander Wayne Rigg talks about his role to carry out an Australian first trial in the use of helicopters in nighttime firefighting. The trial was a success and resulted in approval from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority regulatory to conduct night fire suppression activities using night vision goggles. About Wayne Rigg Wayne joined the CFA as a volunteer at the Eildon Fire Brigade in 1994 and then became a career firefighter in 1995. He was initially stationed at Ballarat City Fire Station and was then promoted through the ranks to Commander. Operations Officer Wayne Rigg Wayne trained as an Air Attack Supervisor in 2005 and has been involved in aerial firebombing since. He is now considered one of the leading subject matter experts within aerial firefighting in Australia. Wayne is also an air observer and air operations manager and performs many aviation coordination roles at Regional and State level. Before his work with Emergency Management Victoria, Wayne held the position of CFA Aviation Officer for six years. During this time he brought about significant changes in aerial firefighting and capability. These changes have resulted in improved service delivery and protection to ground crews and communities. Some of the projects that Wayne has been involved in include: Predetermined dispatch of firefighting aircraft. This means firebombing aircraft are responded to fires via an alert system at the same time as fire trucks are responded. Large firefighting Air Tankers. Airborne Information Gathering. Air Attack Supervisor rosters. Fleet changes and a range of other projects.

This lecture honours Capt Ray Jones, one of the Flight Simulation Groups founding members and celebrates his contribution to the development of the group, the advancement in the art and science of flight simulation and in particular application in the training of civil airline pilots. This year's lecture will be entitled 'Improving Instructor Standards and Regulating for the Best Safety Use of Flight Simulators' presented by Roger Weeks, Senior Manager Operations Safety at the Civil Aviation Safety Authority in Australia. In this lecture, Roger Weeks will share Australia’s experience with a major safety initiative introduced in 2007 to improve the standards of flying instructors. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) took a ‘back-to-basics’ approach in order to address concerns that pilot standards were declining. The program has been highly successful with improvements in graduation standards of flying instructors achieved. In the second part of the Captain Ray Jones Memorial Lecture, Roger will address the manner in which the use of flight simulators has been mandated for certain training and re-currency activities. In addition to addressing high-risk activities, the approach taken by CASA recognises the value and richness that can be gained by using simulators in type rating programs. Given Captain Jones’ pioneering work in civil airline simulator training, details of this initiative will be highly relevant to those who have an interest in, or involvement with the world of simulator training and testing.
