What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
AirMap partners with UAS builders
AirMap has partnered with DJI and 3DR, UAS manufacturers, to provide airspace information directly to UAS operators in civil airspace, the company announced on 17 November.
AirMap's airspace data complies with the standards set for the information used by airline and general aviation pilots. The data includes airports, controlled airspace, restricted airspace, temporary flight restrictions (TFRs), and ‘advisory’ information for places such as hospitals, schools, prisons, power plants, and other locations that may not necessarily be related to flight safety but will be sensitive.
AirMap delivers its services via API. Operators can query airspace data by sending the position of a UAS, and AirMap sends back the airspace information relevant to that area almost instantly.
AirMap also offers a Software Development Kit (SDK) to support the innovators working on UAS applications. The SDK makes it easy for anyone building a UAS-related app to bring airspace information to end-users.
Ben Marcus, CEO, AirMap, said: ‘It's been a pleasure working with the teams at DJI and 3DR over the last several months to bring these capabilities to life. We're excited about these first steps we're taking together, and we're looking forward to bringing enhanced capabilities to even more users in the near future.’
