Pierce Aerospace introduced a partnership with C-UAS (Counter-UAS or Counterdrone) trade chief DroneShield, to combine Pierce Aerospace’s Flight Portal ID, Distant ID applied sciences into DroneShield’s C-UAS and Command and Management techniques, together with DroneSentry-C2. DroneShield, with workplaces in the USA and Australia, and presence in over 100 international locations globally, is a frontrunner in C-UAS know-how with a current advice from the U.S. DOD’s Joint C-sUAS Workplace (JCO) and quite a few techniques deployed worldwide. DroneShield prospects vary from the USA Air Power to Australian Defence Power and a number of European protection companies. The 2 corporations introduced a partnership to combine Pierce Aerospace’s Flight Portal ID, Distant ID know-how suite, into DroneShield’s merchandise to offer enhanced situational consciousness to DroneShield finish customers. This integration provides finish customers superior UAS identification capabilities that have been beforehand not obtainable. These joint capabilities will probably be obtainable to prospects in 2023. “We’ve labored with DroneShield for a number of years at non-public and DOD-sponsored C-UAS integration occasions,” mentioned Aaron Pierce, CEO of Pierce Aerospace. “DroneShield has been a constant advocate for our capabilities, and their applied sciences supply a terrific platform for integration. Their C-UAS techniques are confirmed, and I’m excited to see finish customers work with an built-in options bundle that pairs radio frequency primarily based detect and defeat, modern command and management, and our Distant ID and Fight ID capabilities.” Previous Pierce Aerospace and DroneShield work has mixed the corporate’s Distant ID and RF defeat applied sciences in dismounted, on-the-move, and fixed-site C-UAS experiments. The inclusion of Flight Portal ID’s Distant ID knowledge feeds into DroneShield’s DroneSentry-C2 system permits finish customers to correlate and positively establish UAS, enhancing safety operations by offering a holistic air image with goal discrimination. “The mixing of Flight Portal ID and DroneSentry-C2 gives customers with the excellent image wanted to deconflict their airspace, keep protected flight operations for each crewed and uncrewed aircrafts, whereas additionally having the real-time intelligence and means obligatory to guard that airspace,” commented Matt McCrann, CEO of DroneShield LLC. “It’s a recreation changer – not just for safety and Counter-UAS adoption, however this joint functionality additionally addresses key necessities for efficient Unmanned Visitors Administration and serves as an enabler of Superior Air Mobility (AAM) initiatives.” The mixed know-how has a variety of finish consumer functions, as Unmanned Visitors Administration and C-UAS options proceed to merge for quite a lot of consumer segments, throughout civilian Authorities, navy, and personal use circumstances. Flight Portal ID, Pierce Aerospace’s UAS Distant ID know-how suite, consists of Distant ID receivers, broadcast modules, software program, integration capabilities, and distant administration companies. Flight Portal ID provides market-leading Distant ID options and has an integration service document with almost a dozen industrial unmanned visitors administration (UTM), detect and keep away from (DAA), and DoD command and management (C2) and C-UAS techniques. Industrial and authorities options can be found for integration with C-UAS, UAS OEMs, and UTM suppliers.
