Sensor Fusion Visualized for the Operator in a Complex Multi-sensor World
Date/Time: Wednesday, November 9th at 3:00 – 4:00 pm EDT
Webinar Description:
Kongsberg Geospatial will describe their IRIS Airspace Management and control platform which allows for control of multiple UAS per operator in BVLOS conditions. A key feature of IRIS is the ability to correlate and fuse similar and dissimilar sensor types to present a single fused track to the operator. With Airspace Management and safe vehicle operation involving more and more sensor feeds, this presentation will describe and show a video of the IRIS platform’s ability to integrate and fuse sensor feeds to present a clean uncluttered airspace visualization of fused tracks to the operator.

AUVSI concurred with the report’s recommendations because it prioritizes safety and represents compromise among stakeholders, in addition to being the result of a transparent process.
This week, AUVSI provided additional written comments on the BVLOS ARC final report and areas we believe the FAA should focus on moving forward, including issues of:
Right of way & equipage
Certification, airworthiness, and risk-based standardized approvals
AUVSI Provides Comments During FAA’s UAS BVLOS ARC Report Public Listening Session
In March, the UAS Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) submitted its final report to the FAA, providing recommendations for new regulations to normalize drone operations BVLOS. Routine commercial drone operations hold promise to provide economic, sustainability, and equity benefits to the public.
