Commercial UAV Expo

Organisers of the 6th annual Commercial UAV Expo Americas have confirmed how it is ahead on the numbers this time last year. It is expecting to break its record for two years in a row. The organisers have announced a list of hundreds of supporters for the 2020 event, which will take place September 15-17, 2020 at Paris Las Vegas, Las Vegas NV. Commenting, Lisa Murray, director at Diversified Communications, organiser of the event, said: “Industry leaders have clearly cast their votes for Commercial UAV Expo Americas in 2020.” Adding: “With more than half the exhibit floor already sold and

The two global commercial drone events seek conference presentation applications from industry thought leaders.

The international trade show scene across a lot of industries is undergoing a challenging time – and the UK’s drone sector is not immune from the same forces.

Three companies were chosen as the winners of the ‘Pitch the Press’ event at the Commercial UAV Expo Americas 2019 for their innovative drone technology. Agrowing, A2Z and SolSpec were all winners at this year’s show, with their ground-breaking products singled out for praise. Agrowing, creator of a pioneering AI-enabled, 12 narrow band multispectral sensor, was among the winners, with the panel of judges recogniseing the system’s ability to examine assets in a wide range of spectral bands providing users with specific visual data. Delivery innovator A2Z was also among the winners, with its tethered mechanism for dropping packages, allowing

The Polyscanner system will be integrated into the UVH-25EL to maximise its range for long-distance 3D mapping.

UAVOS has announced the unique UVH-25EL unmanned helicopter, specially designed for commercial industries and data capturing applications using LiDAR system as an all-in-one 3D mapping device. Fully automatic, compact and lightweight the UVH -25EL is equipped with an electric engine unit and features a flight endurance of up to 1.5 hours when mounted with a payload of 5 kg. UAVOS describes the UVH-25EL as an ideal platform for highly accurate Light Distance and Ranging (LiDAR) sensing capabilities with integrated high resolution cameras, dramatically increasing the precision, efficiency and cost effectiveness of surveying and 3D mapping. Aliaksei Stratsilatau, UAVOS CEO, said:

Innovative new 3D mapping tech is set to aid small drones in providing high-resolution images of objects on the ground from up to 400 feet. RedTail LiDAR Systems is set to unveil its innovative new mapping system that uses tech licenced from the US Army Research Laboratory. The system, named the RTL-400, utilises a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) mirror-based laser scanner to map out small objects from high altitudes by distributing laser pulses rapidly and accurately over the ground. The technology company, a division of 4D Tech Solutions, Inc., claims that the system boasts unprecedented resolution thanks to the laser pulse

A start-up behind a nonintrusive tethered drone delivery system claims it has the solution to the safety and privacy concerns. A2Z’s founder, Aaron Zhang, will be on hand to show off its new tech at the Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas, which it claims will help ease concerns surrounding delivery drones. The company’s tech involves using a tethered delivery mechanism that allows drones to maintain a safe hover height of 400 feet above the target before the delivery system controls its free-fall to the desired location. By keeping the drone itself at a safe distance, the company claims it

Attendees will hear more about commercial drone operations from the likes of Airbus, the FAA, FLIR, Facebook and Wing.

The Commercial UAV Expo Americas has had more than 100 exhibitors commit to this year’s show, with more than three months to go until doors open. Show organisers confirmed that it is expecting 2,500 visitors to be in attendance at the fifth annual show from October 28-30 at the Westgate Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Lisa Murray, group director of Diversified Communications, organiser of Commercial UAV Expo Americas, commented: “Year after year, we deliver the highest quality audience for our exhibitors and we are thrilled that so many best-in-class UAS vendors in the market have already committed to exhibiting
