WATCH MARKET UAV 2 2 TRANSPORTATION Anti Drone System for Airports Passes Tests U nder a Pathfinder agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration CACI International successfully tested an anti drone system at the Atlantic City International Airport from Jan 25 to Feb 2 the first UAS detection research in a commercial airport environment A total of 141 operations were executed over five days 72 with a UAS on the ground and 69 with different small UAS in flight SkyTracker successfully identified detected and tracked UAS in flight and precisely located drone ground operators without interfering with airport ground operations SkyTracker employs radio frequency sensors at strategic locations around an airport in high prominent locations When the sensors detect frequencies unmanned aircraft typically use it triangulates the signals and determines the location of both the UAS and the operator SkyTracker could also safeguard critical infrastructure or during events when UAS might pose a risk SkyTracker enables responders to initiate countermeasures but doesnt interfere with legitimate electronics or communications systems in the area or with UAS being operated responsibly GM Volkswagen Choose Mobileye for Mapping M obileye a developer of vision and data analysis for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ADAS and autonomous driving has introduced a new mapping technology development called Road Experience Management REM REM enables crowd sourced real time data for precise localization and high definition lane data that forms an important layer of information to support fully autonomous driving Mobileye is engaged with General Motors to integrate REM into existing program launches in an expedited timeframe as part of GMs heightened partnership with Mobileye In addition on Jan 5 Mobileye signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Volkswagen and announced a strategic partnership to explore and integrate REM into Volkswagens fleet A third OEM customer of comparable size is expected to be announced later this year The technology is based on software running on Mobileyes EyeQ processing platforms that extracts landmarks and roadway information at extremely low bandwidths approximately 10 kb per kilometer of driving Additionally backend software running on the cloud integrates the segments of data sent by all vehicles with the on board software into a global map The Locating Company Technology licensed by Fraunhofer IIS Ultra wide GNSS bands providing highest flexibility and performance Find the latest news on our GNSS constellation and signal simulation environment at www teleorbit eu Modular RF Front End with up to three GNSS Bands GPS GLONASS Galileo BeiDou QZSS IRNSS SBAS MARCH 2016 WWW GPSWORLD COM GPS WORLD 39
