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.
Microsoft has selected Aeryon Labs' SkyRanger UAS for integration with its new Microsoft Advanced Patrol Platform (MAPP) vehicle, Aeryon Labs announced on 26 October.
Under the partnership the MAPP vehicle will integrate aerial images from the SkyRanger UAS with hardware and software solutions for first responders, surveillance teams and investigators.
MAPP will provide easy-to-navigate information to patrol officers, consolidating several elements such as driving directions, dispatch information, suspect history, location-based crime bulletins and statistics, a missing persons list and a voice-activated license plate reader.
Dave Kroetsch, president and CEO, Aeryon Labs, said: 'Law enforcement organisations throughout the world rely on Aeryon UAS to collect aerial intelligence wherever and whenever they need it. Including SkyRanger within the MAPP vehicle rounds out the comprehensive suite of technologies and highlights the value of aerial intelligence for ground-based personnel.'
