Podcasts about unmanned aerial systems

This week we're talking about veterans finding success in today's rapidly changing workforce after pursuing college degrees and valuable certificate programs at American Military University. We hear how Misty Cook went from enlisted Marine to Officer to CEO of her own consulting firm. Using her military background and education, she's now a CEO who helps vets with 20+ years of service, find huge success in the private sector. AMU Provost, Dr. Elizabeth Johnson reveals how AMU offers cutting edge courses, including; Modern Armed Conflict, Unmanned Aerial Systems and Drones, AI, Digital Currency and more. We also look at how AMU is different than traditional four-year institutions. Built specifically for service members and veterans, their courses were designed to be online, accommodate the adult student's schedule and even reduce the amount of credits required to earn a degree. Plus AMU offers deep discounts for military and veterans and the opportunity to extend this benefit to family members.

The story of Drone technology goes back further than most people realize, so Colonel Al Allenback, U.S. Air Force (Ret.) shares that history with Carolyn Hutcheson of In Focus.  Troy University offers an Unmanned Aerial Systems course of study, for which Colonel Allenback is Program Director.

Bridge inspectors like to get up close and personal to detect small defects that could grow into disasters. The configuration of bridges – their size, height, and locations – can make the job difficult and dangerous. But rapid advances in aerial drones are making it possible to inspect difficult-to-access areas of bridges quickly and safely, reducing inspection costs and supporting better bridge maintenance. To update us on recent applications of drones for bridge inspection, we're talking with Barritt Lovelace, who is Director of Unmanned Aerial Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Reality Modeling at Collins Engineers in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Episode 108 examines the use of unmanned aerial systems across the spectrum of conflict. This episode is part of IWI's special project, Project Air and Space Power. Our guests explore the use of the full range of UAS technology by both state and nonstate actors. They unpack the democratization of air power through the proliferation of small unmanned systems and address the race to find cheaper countermeasures for the technology. Finally, they address the advent of automation and the impact of private sector involvement.

Conversation with The Go Agency on the integral use of drones in their business.

In this episode, we're joined by Fatema Hamdani, Co-founder and CEO of Kraus Hamdani Aerospace. Fatema is the first guest to return to the TNW podcast, first appearing on the show in February 2020 after meeting TNW co-host Dean Nelson on Necker Island. KH Aerospace has made ground-breaking progress since then. Fatema leads an incredible team unlocking the potential of Unmanned Aerial Systems to augment and save lives, applied in everything from disaster relief and anti-poaching operations to military intelligence and reconnaissance. KH Aerospace has built the world's first fully electric, zero-emissions UAV with the longest airborne endurance in its category. KH Aerospace is breaking world records with UAVs that can travel longer distances, stay in flight longer, and at higher altitudes than any before. KH Aerospace, a NightDragon company, includes NightDragon Founder Dave DeWalt and Kevin O'Connell, CEO and Founder of Space Economy Rising, LLC serving on the Board. Fatema and KH Aerospace co-founder Stefan Kraus have been nominated as finalists for an Edison Award, which celebrates the apex of product innovation. Past winners include Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Ted Turner, and Martha Stewart. A quote from Forbes states that “an aerospace colleague recently told Fatema and Stefan that what they're doing for unmanned aerial systems is what the Wright Brothers did for flight.” On the podcast, Fatema addresses layering data from sensors and how much of the work done by UAS is being used to create #digitaltwins, among other topics.The K1000ULE by KH Aerospace is an ultra-long endurance fully electric UAS supporting an array of complex missions utilizing Beyond Line Sight Capabilities. Using edge processing, AI-powered analytics based on geospatial and third-party data, this technology is used for a number of capabilities, including defense, natural disaster, commercial use, and anti-poaching.KH Aerospace is shaking up the industry by making UAVs at a price point finally in reach of commercial enterprises and NGOs, instead of just governments. Projects with the armed services are showing what's possible when startups fuse an innovative, entrepreneurial culture with the mission mindset of the military.As a citizen of the world with a nearly two-decade record of building startups, Fatema is keenly aware of the big challenges facing humanity and business today. She is relentlessly passionate about using aeronautics to contribute game-changing solutions. The foundation she started, DragonFly United, promises to fly KH Aerospace technology to higher heights for people and the planet. Fatema is also passionate about female-driven entrepreneurship. Follow KH Aerospace on LinkedIn and Twitter, and check out the KH Aerospace website for their latest news and media engagements.

DroneShield is a worldwide leader in counter-UAS security and technology. The company develops pre-eminent UAS security solutions that protect people, organizations and critical infrastructure from intrusion from UAS threats. Its leadership brings world-class expertise in engineering and physics, combined with deep experience in defence, intelligence, and aerospace. I wanted to learn more about how this anti-drone company uses AI to jam or shoot drones out of the sky. Matt McCrann, US CEO of DroneShield (DRSHF), breaks down types of attacks, potential risk, rise in drone use age, etc. Matt elaborates on both the benefits and downfalls of drone use and discusses how the use of drones will shift the type of attacks we see in modern warfare. But most importantly, he also provides insights on how destructive attacks can be prevented. 

Iran's Air Force has not been able to sustain whatever level it had until the late 1970's, as under the Islamic Republic its planes are poorly-maintained and pilots have not demonstrated any proficiency. The solution is the ubiquitous Unmanned Aerial Systems operated by Iranians and proxies alike - from Iran itself, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza. Used against stationary or slow-moving land and maritime targets, drones enabled the Iranian to deliver munitions from afar without losing aircrew and with them deniability. Last month Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz listed 16 such attacks over the last couple of years. How effective is this weapon, and how are Israel and its partners countering it?

A little over three years ago, when the forerunner to what’s now called the Defense Innovation Unit was still in its infancy, one of the first projects the Pentagon asked its new Silicon Valley outpost to tackle was the emerging problem of threats from small drones. That’s partly because several well-funded startups had already started to emerge to help companies and other non-Defense customers, like stadium and critical infrastructure operators, deal with the problem of countering unmanned aerial systems (UAS). So DIU was tasked with trying to bring those commercial technologies into the Defense fold – exactly the sort of thing it was designed for. On this week's show, Lt. Col. David Willard, DIU's counter-UAS program manager joins us to talk about how things have progressed since 2016, up to the point where DoD now has five commercial companies on contract to build prototypes.

Our guest this episode is Fatema Hamdani, Co-Founder and President of Kraus Hamdani Aerospace, a startup that is pioneering Smart Persistent Intelligence Surveillance and Unmanned Aerial Systems. We're also talking about the real winner of the T-Mobile-Sprint Merger, Verizon's plan to double its 5G cities in 2020, Hazelcast, Huawei, Dessa, and more.

This episode discuss is my interview with Colonel John Price, Director of Unmanned Aerial Systems at the United States Air Force Academy.

Innovative technology has always been the path for the fire service. Horse drawn troughs, steamers, then motor drives. Manual ladders, hand cranks, now elevated platforms. Chief Emeritus of the Charlottesville VA Fire Dept. Charles Werner joins us to discuss how one of today’s hottest fads has in fact, become an indispensable tool for all agencies of public safety – the UAS, the unmanned aerial system, commonly known as a drone. Chief Werner explains its entry into public safety, requirements, learning curve and more. Even if your department already has a drone, listen and see if your department is operating it under the prescribed federal requirements.

Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones) pose a serious inflight risk to aircraft. In this episode, we discuss some of the findings in the comprehensive ASSURE study performed by 23 academic institutions.

In remote regions, drone delivery systems are already having an impact. But getting the drones back so they can be used again is the new problem.

What do drones mean for local government? How can city hall regulate these unmanned aerial systems? What are the rules to fly one? And -- perhaps most interestingly -- how might local governments adopt drones for better service delivery? Or even to save lives? On this episode, we hear from national and state experts in the public and private sectors, and from one town already flying its own drone. And yes, as drones are commonly outfitted with high-resolution cameras, the discussion didn't get away without a discussion of privacy issues. Don't miss.

An online “junk yard” for UAVs and components, the drone pilot shortage, a UAS detect and avoid display project, UAV airspace integration in the UK, the US Senate version of FAA reauthorization, egg drop drones, LiPo batteries, and the CRACUNS submersible drone. News This Online ‘Drone Junk Yard' Lets UAV Owners Swap and Exchange Parts UK Drone builder Andrew Spaxman founded Drone Junk Yard in January 2015 as a place where enthusiasts could buy, swap, and sell unwanted UAV parts. Starting with a closed, country-specific Facebook group for the UK, Spaxman has expanded to groups for the United States, the EU, Canada, and Australia. UAV pilot training struggles continue The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report titled, Unmanned Aerial Systems, Further Actions Needed to Fully Address Air Force and Army Pilot Workforce Challenges [PDF]. In it, the GAO says the USAF and US Army haven't implemented all the recommendations made in its 2014 report. These particularly relate to the shortage of pilot instructors and pilots. FAA hand picks Horsham pilots to help refine UAS detection display The FAA wants to develop a UAS detect and avoid display for unmanned aircraft systems at the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Eight pilot volunteers have been selected from the 111th Attack Wing for the project. FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute research psychologist Kevin Williams said,"Our task in this study is to look at the displays used to provide the pilot with the information that is required for them to remain well clear of other aircraft. Basically, what we're talking about is the minimum information requirements for those displays." UK calls for realistic approach to UAV integration The UK wants to permit beyond line of sight UAV operations at all altitudes by 2020, but the Department for Transport (DfT) wants to be sure that regulations are robust and realistic. Paul Cremin, head of UK aviation operational safety and emerging technologies at the DfT said, “This is a disruptive technology changing the way we think about aviation, but we have to be realistic about safety and security.” In conversations with the public, the dFt found that there is faith in state-controlled UAVs, confidence in most commercial operators, and concern about drone hobbyists. The public expects registration, geo-fencing, age restrictions on use, mandatory insurance, and licensing of retailers. A full report on the dialogue with the public is to be issued in April, followed by public consultation in June, leading to a UK government strategy on permitting operations later this decade. Senate bill calls for certification of unmanned aircraft The U.S Senate version of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2016 would establish a kind of “type certification” for UAVs, requiring all small UAS to meet design and production standards within one year. Manufacturers would have to certify compliance. Random production samples would be tested, and manufacturers would provide a sample of the UAV to the FAA for review. The Senate version also calls for: An "aeronautical knowledge and safety test" for operators (including model aircraft pilots). Exempted would be aircraft under .55 pounds, and pilots under 13 years of age who fly under the supervision of an adult who has passed the test. FAA to create within 2 years a new operating certificate for unmanned aircraft package delivery operators. Nine months for the FAA to establish a rule for micro UAS (under two kilograms, or 4.4 pounds) with no pilot's certificate requirement Nine months to develop standards for UAS operations by institutions of "higher education." If the FAA misses the deadline, the institutions can operate as model aircraft.

A drone powered by a fuel-cell, UAS use policy for police, a defensive anti-drone system, UAS training at a community college and at Textron Systems, a backup system for GPS, and the Commercial UAS Modernization Act. News Hycopter Drone Flies for 4 Hours via Hydrogen Power The Hycopter drone from Singapore-based Horizon Unmanned Systems (HUS) uses a hydrogen fuel cell for power. Four liters of hydrogen are stored in the hollow frame, and are converted to electric power to run the motors. This power source saves weight and allows a four hour flight time, two and a half hours with a 2.2-pound payload. Police chiefs group offers drone-use policy In 2012, the International Association of Chiefs of Police Aviation Committee created Recommended Guidelines for the use of Unmanned Aircraft [PDF]. Since then, the Association has worked to develop policy which covers drone deployment, restrictions on use, data retention, and training. Three UK companies to develop new anti-UAV defence system Blighter Surveillance Systems, Chess Dynamics, and Enterprise Control Systems are developing a fully integrated anti-UAV defence system (AUDS). This system combines Ku band electronic scanning air security radar, a stabilised electro-optic director, infrared and daylight cameras, and target tracking software. The AUDS also utilizes a directional radio frequency inhibitor and jammer system. The new system is intended to address threats from malicious micro, mini, and larger UAVs at ranges of up to 8km in remote sites or urban areas and operating from fixed locations or mobile platforms. Sinclair receives first community college FAA UAS exemption The FAA has granted a Section 333 exemption to the Sinclair UAS Training and Certification Center. The exemption allows Sinclair Community College in Dayton Ohio to conduct commercial training and research and development in areas such as sensor integration and testing. It also lets the college expand their commercial focus on precision agriculture, geospatial information, and first responder training. The Training and Certification Center also intends to publish a Journal of Unmanned Aerial Systems twice a year as an online peer-reviewed publication Textron Systems Launches Unmanned Systems Training Catalog Textron Systems Support Solutions has announced an unmanned systems training catalog with a range of unmanned systems coursework. The curricula included classroom and hands-on training using customized materials and training aids. They'll tailor the training to your language, skill level, platforms, and applications. Training can be delivered to your choice of location for both military and commercial missions. US Weighs UAS-Friendly GPS Backup System Girish Chowdhary, an engineering professor at the Oklahoma State University, explains that GPS “...is not a very high integrity signal” and can easily be jammed or overpowered. Enhanced Loran (or eLoran) would cover the continental United States with a low-frequency navigation signal. eLoran signals are 1.3 million times stronger than GPS signals, and nearly impossible to jam. This system is already operating in Europe and parts of Asia. Senators Booker and Hoeven Introduce the Commercial UAS Modernization Act to Streamline Drone Integration On May 12, 2015, Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and John Hoeven (R-ND) introduced the Commercial UAS Modernization Act. This would establish an interim rule governing sUAS operations until the regulations proposed in the NPRM are finalized. The act gives the FAA some flexibility on visual-line-of-sight (VLOS), and reduces the regulatory burden for commercial operators. It also creates a new Deputy Associate Administrator for Unmanned Aircraft at the FAA. The intent is to streamline the integration of UAS in the United States.
