Flight event at FAA-designated site evaluated the integration of select UASs with Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) airspace system
WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS) a leading provider of best-in-class unmanned aerial systems (UAS), sensors and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals, announces the Company was selected for and participated in a collaborative test flight event sponsored by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU).
The three-day event, in partnership with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment (OUSD-A&S), Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), Auterion GS, AX Enterprize, Skydio, and Somewear Labs, was held at the 300-acre FAA-designated NY UAS Test Site. The purpose was to evaluate the integration of select Blue Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) platforms with the Collaborative Low-Altitude UAS Integration Effort (CLUE) Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM) system. This system, developed by AFRL, provides a way to enable the safe, secure, and efficient operations of UAS within the national airspace system.
Bill Irby, AgEagle CEO, commented, “We are grateful to be among the distinguished group of demonstration partners and products selected for this event. Successfully integrating with various flight operation components helps establish trust in our capabilities to support a variety of Department of Defense missions anywhere in the world.”
By combining the telemetry data provided by the UAS with other data feeds, such as automatic dependent surveillance–broadcast (ADS-B), counter-UAS sensors, and nearby radars, the CLUE system provided a visual situational awareness tool that can assist with air traffic deconfliction, flight area allocation, Federal Aviation Administration compliance, and identification of other UASs.
