The BLK2FLY is an autonomous flying laser scanning sensor that performs
reality capture in the air. Airborne scanning provides value for
multiple industries in need of accurate data of inaccessible or
hard-to-reach areas (e.g., façade projections, rooftops, large interior
spaces), ensuring complete capture of a structure’s features and
dimensions.

SCHOTT’s lightweight microelectronic packages can be used as microwave /
RF packages, DC/DC converter packages, and hermetic sensor packages,
especially in aircraft and satellite applications. Made of aluminum, the
new packaging is designed to protect against the harsh conditions of
aviation and space.

The world’s first coating system for long, thin, and curved pipes with
inner diameters of 4mm, providing highly uniform and precise
nano-coatings, even on sharp edges and high depth-to-width ratios. This
can be applied the inner surface of pipes in satellite propulsion
systems that require both high fuel compatibility and high corrosion
resistance.

Hilton Software’s new Terrain Sector Analysis technology was developed
in collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration to be an
integral part of the FAA Instrument Procedure design to ensure safe
operations near airports in relation to surrounding terrain and
obstructions. This technology makes aviation safer for millions of
people daily.

It’s CAE’s best-of-breed image generator and synthetic environment
solutions combined with leading-edge Commercial-Off-The-Shelf projection
technology and an innovative rear-projection display system. The
exceptional realism is unprecedented and creates visual immersion that
permits the training of complex procedures in a safe virtual
environment.

AtlasNEST is a UAV docking station that enables automatic takeoff and
landing, battery swapping, and battery charging throughout the mission
cycle. A pilot can be located anywhere in the world and remotely operate
the drone, he needs only an Internet connection and a power source. This
level of control saves valuable time and resources.

The Dronut is a next generation UAV inspired by science fiction and
space technology that fits in the palm of your hand and can safely
operate indoors, in confined spaces and around people. The first to
commercialize ducted fan technology – long thought not feasible by
industry experts – the Dronut can operate where no other robot or human
can.

EnforceAir2 delivers advanced C-UAS capabilities to overcome drone
threats across complex environments. Its non-jamming, non-kinetic cyber
approach avoids collateral damage, interference & operational
disruptions. EnforceAir2 provides end-to-end detection & mitigation
for situational awareness, operational continuity, and safe, controlled
outcomes.

“We’re building AI and unmanned aerial systems that save lives. Our
autonomous platforms behave like swarms of insects or flocks of birds in
nature and have the ability to problem solve autonomously. They provide
coverage by building self-healing communication networks & gather
intelligence using disparate sensors to enable better & faster
decisions.”
