Neurala Named in CB Insights’ AI 100 List


Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a frequently-used buzz word in the UAV industry. As true AI continues to evolve, its influence on the commercial UAV industry will be significant: Boston-based deep learning neural networks company Neurala has been included in CB InsightsArtificial Intelligence 100 list, a ranking of the 100 most promising private AI companies in the world.


Neurala has developed The Neurala Brain, ”a deep learning neural network software that makes smart products like cameras, robots and drones more autonomous and useful,” says the company. “Neurala uses a bio-inspired approach to mimic the way the human brain learns and analyzes its environment.” Neurala has made a name in the UAV industry over the last few years because the Neurala Brain is “edge” AI technology, meaning it can continue learning and refining algorithms from a UAV.


The possibilities range from inspections of energy installations, for example, where the Neurala Brain might be able to learn specific signs of concern, to the more dramatic and interesting: Neurala’s Brain has been used on UAVs in Africa to differentiate poachers from roaming animals at night, notifying personnel who are able to take action in protecting wildlife. “This is a fitting end to a big year for Neurala, and it is an honor to be included in this prestigious list,” said Massimiliano “Max” Versace, co-founder and CEO of Neurala in a company announcement. “2018 will be the year for learning on the edge and building a super brain. We are excited to be leading the charge, poised and ready to transform industries, and excited to take part in changing the world for the better through artificial intelligence.”

Natilus to Disrupt Freight Market


An US startup named Natilus is now testing a new seaplane concept that could evolve into huge cargo UAVs that fly freight across the Pacific, touch down autonomously over water, and unload at ports around the world. These early remote-controlled flight tests could lead to semiautonomous and then fully autonomous flights in which the UAV autopilot navigates over a route of waypoints set by a human controller.


By removing human pilots, Natilus wants to create a streamlined aircraft with just a single engine and more room for jet fuel or cargo. One potential market for cargo UAVs could be in servicing midsize cities in regions such as China and Africa that lack major airport infrastructure but want to ship goods to international markets.

UAV Airstrike in Libya


An airstrike carried out on Tuesday 26th in Libya killed "several" fighters from the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, according to a Thursday 28th statement from U.S. Africa Command. It followed a similar UAV attack last week that Trump personally approved, the first in Libya since the one President Barack Obama authorized in January the day before he stepped down from office.


As for whether the command could carry out strikes wherever it chooses in Africa, an official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss current operations says it limits its actions to pre-established agreements with partner countries. In this latest instance, AFRICOM coordinated with the de facto coalition governing Libya known as the Government of National Accord. It has similar arrangements with other partners in Africa, including with Somalia to hunt Islamic State group fighters and with others to combat piracy off the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Guinea.


"These strikes were conducted under the Presidential Policy Guidance," Defense Department spokeswoman Army Maj. Audricia Harris says, referring to a 2014 document the Obama White House released explaining the policies that would govern covert war. "That allows for the use of all available tools of national power to protect the American people from threats posed by groups such as ISIS, al-Qaida and their associated forces."

ExecuJet Adds UAV Services In Africa


ExecuJet has announced the addition of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) services at its African facilities in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Lagos.


UAVs will form an integral part of ExecuJet's operations, enabling clients to carry out inspections, surveys, mapping and photography in greater detail. ExecuJet will be able to deploy UAVs to any location on the continent, as required by its customers.


Gavin Kiggen, Director, Aviation Africa, ExecuJet, says: "The market for drone technology in the commercial sector has been increasing in recent years and is expected to grow at a rate of 19%+ between 2017 and 2020, as the technology becomes more widely utilised. Whilst attending the Drone Con conference, it emerged from research done by Dr Roelof Botha that in South Africa, the drone market is expected to create 24,000+ jobs by as early as the end of 2018, contributing R2b+ to the economy. UAVs can be used in various ways, from wind turbine inspections and crop monitoring, to covering sporting events and filming for television and movies. Industry experts believe that Africa is one of the most progressive regions when it comes to drone technology."

¿How the Predator UAV Works?


Military commanders use tactics and strategy in combat to inflict as much damage on the enemy while trying to risk as few personnel and resources as possible. This principle was at the heart of the development of the RQ-1 and MQ-1 Predator UAV. (Read more)

España: Predator y Camcopter S-100 para la Guardia Civil

 
Según lo publicado hace unos días por diversos medios, la Guardia Civil tendrá a su disposición sendas unidades General Atomics MQ-1 Predator y Schiebel Camcopter S-100 para llevar a cabo actividades de lucha contra la inmigración ilegal y el tráfico de armas y estupefacientes en el suroeste europeo.
 
 
En este sentido, hay que recordar que si bien España ya cuenta desde hace tiempo con antenas de vigilancia del SIVE (Servicio Integral de Vigilancia Exterior) desplegadas en el area del Estrecho de Gibraltar, éstas han venido siendo objeto de ataques constantes por parte de las mafias vinculadas al narcotráfico, que no han dudado en provocar incendios, cuando no intentos de desconexión o sabotajes en las instalaciones.
 
 
En la compra del Camcopter S-100 y el MQ-1 Predator ha tenido un papel importante la Unión Europea, que financia un proyecto denominado Closeye concebido para proteger y controlar la entrada al continente por el sur de la Península, y en el que también participan otros socios europeos como Portugal e Italia. La decisión de Bruselas de financiar ese proyecto y la incorporación de UAVs a la zona del Estrecho está claramente vinculada con la preocupación existente a nivel continental por el tráfico creciente de armas y de droga procedentes del norte de África y con destino a Europa.
