“This month, the Federal Aviation Administration announced it’s expanding its Pathfinder Program, which it created to detect and identify drones flying too close to airports. To make that happen, the agency’s conducting joint research with a number of companies to identify the technology that might be used to spot, block, and drop the unwanted unmanned aircraft systems.“

“Now, the FAA is conducting research with three more companies that offer a variety of solutions: Gryphon Sensors, Liteye Systems Inc. and Sensofusion.”

“Sensofusion, based in Finland, can also triangulate the position of drones, but adds the ability to send push notifications if the system spots something suspicious, and can be updated over-the-air, to keep up with evolving drone tech.”

“The collaboration between these companies and the FAA is another example of government-industry cooperation and is an important step towards the safe integration of UAS into the national airspace. Equipping airports with technology that can detect, track, and identify UAS that are flying unsafely or in restricted areas will help ensure the safety of the airspace for all aircraft — manned and unmanned.”—Brian Wynne, President and CEO of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI)
